Expert Reply:

Adding a brake controller to your 2005 Dodge Ram will not affect the ABS system. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller item # 90195. This is a proportional brake controller that works with trailers having up to 4 axles. The brake controller activates your trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action. It automatically adjusts the trailer's braking based on deceleration of your vehicle. The brakes activate immediately, there is no pausing like with time-delayed brake controllers.

You will also need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Dodge item # 3020-P. This plug in adapter allows you to connect your Tekonsha brake controller to your 2005 Dodge Ram without cutting or splicing wires.
