$200 EGR DPFE switch??
My local dealer want $189.00 + taxes for this EGR pressure switch. That will be over $200.
I find this rather high as the parts store (who only lists one for the 2000 model year) at $74.00.
Any difference in jobber versus OEM in this application?

My opinion on aftermarket vs. OEM is well known here 
I do not buy-in to the fact that a Motorcraft part (that already failed) is any better than the cheaper aftermarket part.
Chances are, open the box, and find a part with the Ford logo on it. (and I certainly don't buy-in to the "it didn't meet Ford's specs so they sold it to the aftermarket").
I'd sort out the exact year for your truck though first! Check Napa online, and anywhere else you can find online first.

I can't even remember how many times some OEM part failed on a Ford and I replaced it with cheapo aftermarket only to find that it lasted 10 times longer than the original part

Wow, I had a lot of trouble getting the DPFE sensor.
I took krewat's advice and when to the aftermarket but every place in town was sold out. It took 4 days to order but at $78 it was less than half of what the dealer wanted.
And it seems to have done the trick (I hope).
Now, time for some exhaust studs........
