wrong oil pressure switch 5.7 hemi

[georob]

2013 ram 5.7 longhorn needed to replace oil pressure switch. picked one up, part # PS 401 Duralast. I get my tools and the first thing I noticed was old took a much smaller socket than the new, I broke the female plug in side off by accident, anyway I finally get the old out and it is totally different than the replacement, Its a 2 prong, the new is a 3 prong, the threads are bigger on the old one. I called parts house and several others, they all keep telling me the Ps 401 is the correct part, IT IS NOT CORRECT. I searched online parts places the pictures are all like the Ps 401 which is not correct for my truck. Any suggestions or input, thanks

Are you sure you're replacing the right sensor,the oil temp sensor is also in the same vicinity as the pressure sensor.Pics of which sensor you're replacing would help

The pressure sensor is on the front of the engine,and the temp sensor is just above the oil filter
