Update: I went to the ford mechanic and I asked for an explanation of why my truck couldn't pull the weight in question since it is below max capacity. The mechanic finally relented and said the factory capacity was safe. Another mechanic agreed. I went to truck store and bought/installed the brake module. Asked the 2 mechs abd the truck guy if I needed anti sway or springs, and all three said no. When I asked: "is it safe?" all said yes (the first mech finally came to the conclusion that he couldn't find one good reason and said my tranny would not be harmed). Thanks for all the yelp everyone! You saved my weekend! Oh and I learned interesting things about my truck ( v8, 4.6 cyl, tongue 500, cap 5000, etc) and got a braking module (tried it out last nite and it was soooo cool!)
