Mine took a half hour

Bought a Hopkins Agility at a local Pep Boys for a hundred bucks. I soldered the factory connector that came with the truck and plugged it in under the dash. I made a small bracket so no screws went into the dash. It works better than the factory one that came in my F350. My truck is 2013 FX4 supercrew 5.0

I ordered the OEM Unit for my 10F150, I had this Ford Brake controller in my 05F350 and it worked perfect.
Check ebay/motors for the Correct Stock Number.
