That ITBC is for the wrong year of truck. He has a 2015/2016

CDN F150

I actually work in the States but live in Canada. So I don't really have to spend more money essentially because I'll probably buy it when at work and not have to make a special trip.

Yep, my bad. Ford parts says the correct part number for a 2016 is FL3Z19H332A, but when you look that one up in Autonation White Bear Lake it says that is an obsolete part number.

So I guess the next step is to call a Ford parts source and have them determine the correct part number.

I just installed PN GL3Z-2C006-CA - what I believe is the current part number - in my '16 that I got from a Ford dealer selling it on ebay (about $89 shipped). I installed it myself and activated it with Forescan.

On my last truck, I went for the after market controller. On this truck, I have the factory installed and it is much better (and it isn't sticking out from under the dash although you lose a convenient cell phone storage slot in the dash).

If you do go after market, your truck should have come with a brake controller cable harness (in the glove compartment with the manuals). Give this to the installer or you will end up paying for one.

A local Detroit dealer has one for $108 USD which is a steal compare to the Canadian dealer I got my truck from. The funny thing, when parts transferred me to service to price the install, the guy said he does not even know if that's something they can install.

There was a change to the 2015's TBC due to the early ones failing and locking up the trailer brakes. They also would smell like something burnt in the unit. Ford came out with a corrected version under a new part number but at least last spring there was the normal sup'ed by info in the parts diagrams. Th part number I received was FL3Z19H332AB. Here is a link:

Yep, and here's the 2016 F-150 with that same part number:

For any newbees wondering why we're often linking to the Ford dealer above, it's because their name used to be Tousley Ford Parts before mega-dealer AutoNation bought them out, and Tousley Ford Parts was a big supporter of Ford and RV forums on the internet. Plus they have excellent customer service and good discount prices and a relatively easy to use website. AutoNation was smart enough to retain the excellent OEM parts business that Tousley had built up, by continuing to use the old link to TousleyFordParts.com


www.TousleyFordParts.com


So today if you click on that link to Tousley Ford Parts, you will automagically be taken to AutoNation White Bear Lake. Tousley Ford parts is easier for me to remember and type than parts.autonationfordwhitebearlake, so when I want to look up a discounted OEM Ford part, I usually enter the old link to TousleyFordParts.

Awesome info. Thank you.

Hi everyone

Instead of creating an additional thread may I hijack this one ?

I just bought a 2016 5.0 XLT with the 3.73 axle with the intent of towing an RV.

Can someone educate me as to what I can realistically tow ?
