I have posted previously on the Ford Integrated Brake Controller. Each to his own but I and a friend of mine both changed to the BrakeSmart and wouldn't go back to the IBC for anything.

I still have the factory upgraded conventional brakes and he has the Kodiak Disc brakes.

We have a local trailer repair facility in Weatherford, Tx. which does a big business in horse trailer repairs and upgrades as well as brake controllers for heavy applications and he will sell only the BrakeSmart and Kodiak Disc brakes with the Carlisle brake actuator. He says he has replaced many of the Ford IBC and feels they are an accident waiting to happen for people towing heavy trailers. Under normal stop and go situations you might be alright, but you get into a situation where you gotta put the binders on hard for an extended period of time in an emergency stop and you gonna be in a world of hurt!! 3 Hail Marys and 2 Our Fathers prolly gonna be in order.
