oil pressure problems

i have a 1999 dodge 3500, it has 163,000 miles on it. the oil pressure has never dropped below 40 psi or so.last night we were leaving and the pressure went up and dropped to 0psi 2 times. with the mileage on the truck i am guessing it is not the oil pump, i am leaning toward the oil pressure switch.*********** i was wondering if someone could tell me where it is located on the block and what it actually looks like? i called the local dodge dealer and they said it was $220.00 dollars, does this sound like the correct price?please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the part, try your local Cummins Diesel parts vendor and save some serious bucks.

For the location of the sender....
Number 22 is the part you're looking for.
