Call your "source" and ask him if what the OP was told is FCA/Rams position or just a dealer blowing sunshine! The OP should take his whole set up to the dealer and re hook the OE controller up show them how it works. Then hook up the aftermarket P3 and show them how it works. Also ask for the factory rep to be there at the time. He should also READ the instruction manual paying attention to page four, it reads, http://www.tekonsha.com/support/installation/N90195.pdf
"1. Front of the P3 must be horizontal, see below.

see below"
If it is not mounted I doubt that it is either horizontal nor parallel to direction of travel. This controller is a proportional braking system and needs to be correctly mounted for it to work correctly.
Not sure what the hostility is about there Cummins12V98 but I agree that if there is an issue with the controller FCA/Ram needs to fix it. The controller needs to work with ANY trailer that the truck is rated to tow period!!!
