The add-on or commercial TBC's are a completely different animal than Ford (or any truck brand) TBC. The Ford controller works in conjunction with the trucks braking SYSTEM, including the anti-lock system. NO, would be the answer to your question.

X2^^. The OEM IBCs are far superior to any aftermarket controller. They are called "Integrated" for a reason. Have you checked to make sure all the IBC settings are correct?

Like many here I came from an add on Prodigy TBC; when I switched over to an integrated system I initially felt it was lacking.
I now believe it was likely I had the external unit set too powerful; I've now grown to accept the integrated system as superior.
I believe that's true for many of us.

If you need additional stopping power look to hydraulic disc brakes (in my future).
