around 1k for a pump, they have package deals that come with the lift pump too for a decent deal. as for the length of death its different for everyone. it might do what yours did and last quite a bit longer or it might die tomorrow, its a hit and miss. the hot rod pump isn't worth the extra money. an ho pump doesn't give as much hp potential as a so pump so you know. i honestly would just start pigeon holeing some cash here and there for a pump for a just in case fund.

if you are going for reliability i would just pick up an so pump. i don't remember how much the package deals are, you can throw up a price quote and the vendors on here would be more than happy to help ya out!

The last article I read in Diesel Power states that a HO pump can only fuel 150HP injectors, and a SO can fuel 250HP injectors. The SO will have a longer life span as well.
