Expert Reply:
The correct adapter to install the Brake Controller part # 39510 you referenced in your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 is the part # 3020-P.
This adapter plugs into the 4-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.
I attached a picture of the blue connector plus a link to an install video that will walk you through the process.
