Expert Reply:
We will start with the 1997 F-250. If you have a factory 7-way on your truck, you can install the P2, part # 90885 with the plug-in adapter, part # 3035-P. I have attached a link to an installation video of a brake controller on an F-250 you can check out.
If you have a 4-way connector on your truck, you will also need part # 37185. Additional wiring like part # 10-1-1 may be needed when installing the # 37185.
If you do not have a trailer connector on your F-250 I recommend installing part # 118316. Then you would need part # ETBC7 to install the brake controller.
To install the P2 in your 2015 Ram 1500, you can use the plug-in adapter, part # 3024-P. The # 3024-P simply plugs into the brake adapter port under the dash of your Ram and then into the back of the P2. I have attached a link to an installation of the brake controller and plug-in adapter on a Ram you can take a look at.
