Question:

Ive found that mopar makes a factory style flush mount brake controller for dodge ram 2011 and newermopar part #82212548. Is there such a product available that would fit a 2006 ram 2500?

Expert Reply:

The Mopar brake controller is identical to the one they put in at the factory on certain Ram trucks. It is made specifically to fit the trucks it was designed for. In the aftermarket options there is nothing that is going to fit the same but they are also much, much less expensive and actually work better than factory integrated controllers.

I recommend the P2, # 90885, because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable. You will also need wiring harness # 3020-P to plug the controller into the truck. I have linked a video showing an example installation on a similar truck.
