You do NOT have to install the Mopar brake controller in your 2014 Ram 1500, you can use an aftermarket controller like the Curt Triflex Brake Controller part # C24VV. All you would need for the installation would be the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter # C51453 that you also referenced.

To see how this harness installs in your vehicle check out the installation instructions I attached.

If your old controller was a Tekonsha brand the harness you would need instead is the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter # 3023-P. I attached an installation video for this harness in a 2013 Dodge Ram for you to check out also.
