well called cummins today the pump only pays 3.5 hours labor and if thay are a cummins dealer that thay can not charge more than $100 a hour labor and found that you can change one part at a time the pump brakes to 4 pieces and that you do not have to buy a hole pump and the best price i found was $3,600 so ill let yall know what it cost me

Well that's why I asked about the code. The dealer should have handed you a printout of the codes in the ECM and explained to you what the problems is, which one was active and which one wasn't. With 12 different codes and only one that means the entire pump, it would be an easy thing to troubleshoot.
The unnamed Frieghtliner dealer in NY who told me I needed an IJ pump replaced but forgot to tell me that the code actually indicated the engine speed sensor was going which was something like $6000 cheaper to fix.
