There’s not that much to it, I did it a few months ago just order the kit from ford which includes the controller that plugs into the existing wiring that already there and change out the master cylinder that’s included with the kit , and finally you need to get the instrument cluster reprogrammed so the truck knows it installed

rmblaster,

What were the costs involved? Do you have a Ford Part # for this kit? That would be very helpful thx!

i don't know about the ford part #, but the BD Diesel Trans. Pressure-loc module probably is the same thing and it comes w/ the box so you don't have to have the truck re-programmed.
i could tell after i put mine in! it increased presure in the higher gears and the lock-up mode for the torque converter.

I had posted the Ford part numbers under a semi-recent thread. To requote that entry:

Installing TowCommand on 05 F-Series:
There is now a kit available to install TowCommand trailer braking system on trucks that were not originally equiped at the factory. For diesel and all dual rear wheel applications use kit 5C3Z-19H332-BA. For gasoline trucks with single rear wheels use kit 5C3Z-19H332-AA. Broadcast Message 4065, 4643, 4937.
If a TowCommand brake controller is dealer installed on an 05 truck, it may not work correctly unless a master cylinder with a brake pressure transducer is installed, and the instrument cluster reconfigured to recognize the TowCommand. Broadcast Message 4642, 4928.
