Yep, per Dexter, the OEM brake controller on your Ford F-250 is compatible with Dexter's EOH actuator. The correct actuator will depend on if you are using disc brakes or drum brakes:

- Disc: Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator # K71-651

- Drum: Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator # K71-650
