Factory brake controller in 03?
I have been wanting to add the upfitter switches for a while now and was wondering if the Ford Factory brake controller could be added too? I don't care about the ABS being hooked up but would like the look and functionality of the factory controller. Can this be done? Thanks!

vlietracer64 is correct and the short answer is no it can not be installed on a pre-'05 truck because the earlier PCM, ABS module and instrument cluster are not compatable with the system. I am sure if you had a unlimited budget and the knowledge to retrofit a newer PCM, ABS module and IC it "may" beable to be done.

Thanks Powerstrokehd. It actually cost me $67000.00. I bought an '08 with the brake controller to pull my trailer.

Does the factory controller only work off of the pressure from the master? If so, I can see the problems we are faced with. I just thought the controller would mount in and hook up and I would leave off the capabilities for abs and such. It would just be alot nicer to have that controller there than the one under the dash.
