Nope. Brake controller runs off of the brake light switch.

Most are inertial these days although there are a few other types around.

What brand and model is your controller?

I've got one of these - http://www.amazon.com/Tekonsha-90195-Electronic-Brake-Control/dp/B000P17NXQ
It's rated and reviewed as one of the best on the market.

Why skimp when you are trusting thousands upon thousands of pounds on it working, not to mention your life. What is $150 when you have thousands of dollars of truck and cargo to stop.

Do you know if it would work for a 97 and then do the hydroboost conversion

It should work for any vehicle. You just need a wire from the brake pedal under the dash.

Same one I have in my 98 and my 98 is a diesel (ie: hydroboost).

Great little rig! I really like mine. I did a little custom install with mine:

Had to make a cable and lever for the manual apply:

I can't remember the exact wiring (its in the instructions) but it goes something like this: http://www.anythingtruck.com/instructions/GeneralWiringInstructions.pdf

Wow GW. Your setup looks awesome. Whats the legality on it though. I'm sure an insurance company would quickly point a finger at tampering being a contributing factor.
