The entire kit is just under $450 here. However, they note:
Diesel models require only the OEM switch found in the OEM switches category.
Just the OEM switch is $300 here

Prices may vary across the net - and whether or not you want an OEM kit.

According to that company - yes. You may want to phone them and verify before ordering such an expensive part though.

I got my cruise woking to day all i needed was the new turn switch with cruise on it. $250 from parts house $40 dollars from local junk yard. I did some checking and a gasser has the same switch 99-02 as my 01. Thanks for all the in put.
