The Curt Assure Trailer Brake Controller with Dynamic Screen item # C49UR, you were looking at, would be a great brake controller for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. It is a proportional brake controller designed for use with electric or electric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes. If your Dodge Ram came with a 7-way connector or a 4-way connector then you will want the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Dual Plug In item # C51332. This adapter plugs into a port behind your dash and allows you to connect a brake controller without cutting or splicing wires.
