In the event of say.. a brake line burst, do the integral controllers also still use the brake line sense for backup purposes?
9PS.. it would be nice if a brake controller was standard equipment from the factory... if someone is going to open my brake line it might as well be done when built and under warranty.. etc.. )

The Ford controller uses brake pressure just like the Brake Max. My uncle made a bone head move and forgot to order the controller when he ordered his 2005 F-350 4x4. It was only a $165 option. Anyway when he went to install it on his truck, at nearly $600, he had to change the master cylinder because it uses a different on if equipped with the controller.
Its a steal at $165 from the factory. In my opinion it should be installed on all tow package equipped trucks.
I assume the one GM now has works much the same way and I believe Dodge now has one also from about 09 on. I am guessing it works the same way.
