    Bought the truck to pull our trailer and to travel, my wife and I and our dog. Unfortunately due to bad luck our beloved Boxer Boone had to be put down last week. 6 yrs old and a true pal. We are going to miss him alot. Have fun with them while you can, nothing better than a loving dog. Rob

  4. can anyone recommend a bay area / Stockton dealer that can install the ford oem controller?

    Sir I'm not really versed on how to do it but make sure you research how you plan on doing it. Remember the "FORD approved" has 2 brains, not sure what they call them, whereas Redarc's "off the shelf" only has 1. Thanks Rob
  5. can anyone recommend a bay area / Stockton dealer that can install the ford oem controller?

    There are two Redarc controllers, the 4 wire which is a simple install which you seem to have. A "FORD approved" which has two, I'll call them brains, that ties into the 3rd brake light so that the emergency braking function works. More time consuming to install, not necessarily more...

  7. can anyone recommend a bay area / Stockton dealer that can install the ford oem controller?

    The one (Redarc) controller is not 4 wires! Not so easy since you need to tie into the 3rd brake light, which means removing trim and partial headliner removal. I had mine installed at Bill Brandt Ford in Brentwood, (norcal). 2hrs labor, works great. Was about 360$. Give them a call. Thanks Rob
