The standard oil pressure sending unit should do. Call Dakota to make sure but the oem one should fit and work perfectly. Autozone, any of those part stores should have one in stock.

Mine had the same cracks on the corner of the drip rail. My only guess is that the paint didnt adhere to the lead they used in these areas. I had my entire car sand blasted to bare metal and there was alot of lead in these areas from the factory.
