SD Trailer Brake Controller Swap
Looking at the 2005-2011 SD brake controllers and wondering if anyone has put one of these into an OBS. I understand that o would need a brake pressure sensor from a SD, but not sure what else it would take.

Yes, 75% of the way there, done
Parts needed:
- Trailer Brake Controller(TBC) - I bought new old stock, around $150-$200 bucks
- Brake Pressure Transducer(BPT) - cheap under $10
- M12x1 Female to M10x1 Male brass brake line coupler - cheap, if you can find one
- brake controller wiring adapter(4-pin) - $30 for one
- 10-pin wiring adapter - $30 bucks for 10 plugs, lol(need one or two?)
- wires
The factory OBS, mine a 1994, master cylinder Brake Pressure Sensor(BPS) has M10x1 threads. The BPT has M12x1 threads.
The coupler is needed to fit the BPT into the old BPS fitting on master cylinder.
The wiring adapters need to be re-pinned to correct wires.
I've done all the testing and wiring, and it works perfectly, 100% variable pressure.
Where I'm at, is "Where is the best place to install?" I'm thinking either next to the little cubby hole near right knee, or beside that cubby hole.
Here is my thread where I have included everything I know about this subject:
