Getting Shafted By D-C?

The cruise control in my truck hasn't worked in about 2 years, so I finally got tired of it and my friend and I traced the problem down to the right switch in the steering wheel using some high dollar scanner. I called Dodge today and they want $74 for the switch assembly. The parts man said that I had to replace both switches. From my service manual, I can see that it makes sense. The kicker is that they want $74 for the switches. Am I getting shafted on this???

Thanks for the help.

Jeremy

PS Part numbers would be great for comparison and to make sure I am getting the correct part.
