brake controller

went back and checked some old post and couldn't find anything on this, on my 01, i have a 7 pin plug, it has 6 slots in a circle an a center pin, which is what i need for my camper,there is no brake controller in the truck, would there be somewhere to hook up a brake controller under the dash, and if so what do i look for, the guy i bought it from told me he use to haul cattle so there should have been electric brakes on there trailer, right

Look under your dash, seems like it was near the brake arm. Look for a rectangular (i think blue) female connector. Dodge supplied a pigtail that would connect to it and splice or solder to your owner supplied controller.

I bought my truck used. But under the seat I found a plastic bag with a connector pigtail, and these instructions.

You can get a jumper wire from most controllers to go to the dodge end that will save you the splicing of the wires..

Pretty simple, really. Start by getting a host site like PhotoBucket, and put your pictures there. From that screen, you'll see some options about image links. Then you just copy and paste.

You can insert a full sized picture like this one:
