Expert Reply:
For an inexpensive brake controller that will work well we have the Tekonsha Powertrac part # 39523 which would require only the install harness part # 3020-P to install in your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500.
The K-Source Towing Mirrors part # KS80700 is a confirmed fit for your truck as well and would be a great option for better visibility.
