    Hello, I recently bought a 2012 Peterbilt 386 with a CM2250 ISX engine. I know some of the history on the truck and the high pressure fuel pump has never been updated. I have removed the pump and partially disassembled it to find that it does have the ceramic plungers. I had my Cummins dealer price my options. They said there are no kits available anymore to update the pump and that a new pump ($5000) was my only option. Does anyone here know if this is true? Are there any other sources for a new or reman pump other than Cummins? Are kits still available to update old pumps? Thank you!

    I do not know about that. However I can buy the same Cummins parts from the truck dealers for less.

    Bullcrap. I just put lifters and plungers kits in a pump 2 weeks ago.

    But I guess they could be on BO. Parts availability has been sketchy with covid.

    Id try another dealer or your nearest big city Cummins distributor.

    Verify with your ESN, but this is P/N's for steel B/P assy and updated tappets. Screenshot_20210411-175613.png
    Would need two of each and gaskets and seals.

    It's no joke when those plungers break. Check engine lamp came on, and I had enough time to say to myself "WTF". Truck quit at highway speed and would not restart. This was on a cummins Isc, but I believe they are similar. Tappet rollers were destroyed too.
