Supply/demand/cost vs. turnover......all a numbers game.
The solenoid is for your exhaust brake, which is made by Jacobs, who supplies them to Cummins/Dodge to be factory installed.
Try to locate a Jacobs dealer directly and see what the costs are that way. Could be cheaper.

I lucked out, after testing the parts, it ended up being the control relay was destroyed by corrosion. We rewired the plug for a relay I had lying around and the brake worked, kinda. With the brake on the truck won't turn off, it kinda sputters when I turn the key off like the solenoid isn't closing all the way. The brake also makes an annoying whistling sound, along with howling, and I can hear a relay in the dash clicking...ended up pulling the fuse out of the system to kill it since it didn't help me slow down that much anyway...

If I go this route, do I have to close the switch everytime I want to use the brake or is it activated electrically? Oh yea, how did you do your 4x4 actuator? Mine jumped out of 4x4 a couple times this weekend at very inopportune moments.
