Holy smokes, $2k for a coolant pump?

My Dodge/Cummins was notorious for failing Carter fuel lift pumps. They'd die without any indication and put extra strain on the $2000 high pressure Bosch pump. Those junk pumps would sometimes not even go 40k miles. I replaced 2 at reduced cost since Dodge partially subsidized them, and then bought an aftermarket one for $150 and it's been solid ever since.

Is there any way to remanufacture a pump yourself to save the $2k? That's a worse problem than replacing a timing belt every 100k (which I realize the Prius doesn't have).
