breakdown on Interstate 25

I just wanted to post this hoping it might possibly save someone a lot of time and money. I have a 2000 Allegro Bus with the 8.3 Cummins engine. Last year all was going well with our Colorado vacation as I was headed up I 25 in Trinidad Colorado when all of a sudden my oil pressure buzzer came on, my oil pressure gauge dropped to 0 . I immediately pulled to the side of the interstate. Having quite a bit of mechanical knowledge I went to the engine compartment and cracked the oil line going to the turbo and told my wife to start the engine. I had plenty of oil pressure so I knew I was okay, I then started back up and headed back on my trip only to have the check engine light come on and the engine then started to slowdown and start missing. I pulled back off the road and figured the problem was the oil pressure sensor, but being over 1000 miles from home I wanted to be more sure so I called a repair shop and 3 days later and a few hundred bucks I didn't know any more than I did when it quit on me so I decided to unplug the wires going to the sensor and the rig ran great for the rest of the trip. I found out later that this was a common problem and the replacement was a switch with a single wire going to it rather than the original 3 wire sensor. The repair also required that I replace the short wiring harness that went from the main harness to the oil pressure switch. I was told that this was a recall and should have been changed out earlier. Hope this will help someone.
