Hey Tom, so we do have custom fit brake controller/harnesses like with the Tekonsha P3 part # TK44ER which comes with a custom fit harness that plugs in under the dash of your 1997 Dodge Ram 2500.

Hey Tom, how did things go with the Tekonsha P3 brake controller on your Ram 2500? Did the custom harness plug in under the dash as expected? Your update could make it easier for others working on the same setup.
