'03 Lift Pump out- Truck Down (Hauler)

Today the lift pump went out on my '03 at ~168k mi. Dealer here in Joplin (where the deed occured) has had no luck getting the part- says of the 10 dealers called none would let theirs go (2 had sold the today and at least 22 more had ordered them for a customer). Time ran out on the remaining 6? dealers due to time of day. Part is a B/O at DC- unknown delivery time.
? would I be better off going with an aftermarket unit (I put 162k on the truck in '04, and anticipate similar milage this year) or does anyone know of a good replacement that is readily available? Considering my problems, I don't expect any of the other dealers that list the part in stock to be willing to sell theirs out of store. Suggestions and help solicited. -Eric
