The difference between the single axis P3, # 90195, and the tri-axis P2, # 90885, is how they can be mounted. The P3 can be mounted between -90 degrees straight down or 90 degrees straight up (not tilted to the side and in the direction of travel).
The P2 can be mounted a full 360 degrees in the direction of travel and not tilted to the side. As long as either controller is properly mounted according to the manufacturer instructions, they will perform well. The only difference you would run into is if you get into a mounting situation that requires mounting the controller out of the range of the P3, you would either have to mount it in a location that is not ideal or get a different controller.
You can use the # 3020-P wiring harness to install either of these brake controllers into your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500
