Factory Brake Controller or Something else?
Gonna order an F150 soon. Just wondering if the factory brake controllers are as good or better then a P3 or equivelant. The factory BC adds $300 so the cost isn't the issue. Just want the best brake ...

If you are handy, you can get the factory controller on eBay for about half price.
The IBC is way better than the aftermarket stuff that just guesses what you are doing with the brake pedal.
While you "might" be able to buy the OEM IBC on Ebay for a cheaper price.. One HAS to wonder as to WHY it is on Ebay and for LESS than the OEM price????
Not to mention if the Ebay IBC dies on you or fails to function just WHO are you going to get to fix or replace it???
Additionally there is a really good chance that even if you do buy and install it you WILL end up going to the dealer and giving them a $100 to enable the Body control module on the truck to recognize the IBC.
In the end you will save at the best $50 and have no warranty on the IBC what so ever..
If you want the IBC, you are money ahead to spend the $300 UPFRONT when you order your vehicle instead of messing around with questionable parts which may be used, stolen or just plain dead...
