My 2005 RE3 was retrofitted, after delivery, with the newly designed Dexter brake actuator, which was released for use about March 2005. That actuator did work well with the 2005 Ford integrated brake controller. However, I chose to disable the Ford controller in my 2005 F350, and also in my 2006 F350, in favor of using the BraKeSmart Controller, which is, in my opinion, a better controller.

I don't know whether Ford has made controller changes in their later year models that might preclude operations with the Dexter brake actuator. I would suggest you talk directly with Dexter. They were very helpful when I was trying to deal with getting a brake actuator on my MS that would work with the Ford Controller.

Good luck!
