After much debate and looking at every truck out there I decided not to buy out my leased '05 Dodge Ram. I pulled the trigger on a steel gray metallic 2009 GMC Sierra SLT All Terrain with ebony leather. $13,500 off sticker plus 2 years of On Star and XM was just too good of deal too pass up. I had the oval side steps and new style bed installed. I'll throw some pics. up tommorrow so hold your fire. :lol:

Anyways, my question is can I add the factory trailer brake controller? It's the one feature I wished it had. I know I can add an aftermarket one but I like to keep a clean look. Thanks in advance.

Welcome! We need pics!

 

Oh, and to answer your question...NO. There is too much to be changed to make it feasible.

to elaborate on Roberts Negative comment on the trailer brake, you would have to change wiring, brake master cylinder and all sorts of little stuff. Plus get your dealer to help you program it.

 

 

 

Oh and damn it you took my truck :lol:

Yep they're putting on a step side! :D Sorry it was late and I was half asleep. I meant the new style bed rails. Thanks for the replys and yeah that does sound like way too much work, I'll just go with a good aftermarket unit.

Too bad you couldn't find a deal....I know when I bought mine I had to buy it before April 1 or I'd lose some G.M. incentives so maybe thats why the deals aren't as good. :lol:

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
