Parts Research Challenge !!!

I need to replace a relay switch that is part of the Jacobs Exhaust Brake system. Sounds easy right? Wrong, Jacobs says that it's a Dodge/Chrysler part and Dodge says it's a Cummins part...

I have done some research on the internet and found crosses for the original part number the problem is that each distributer wants me to purchase 110 of these bad boys. They only run about $5-$6 each.

Can someone help me find a retailer that can ship a (1) of these for a reasonable price? Here are the part numbers:

On the relay switch: VF28-65F14-SO1 (Tyco part number)
Which crosses to: 4-1393297-5

(this switch is pictured on page 25 of the Jacobs Brake Installation Manual, which is downloadable on the internet. Figure 24a, extreme lower left.)
