Yes, I have searched all evening - I have read more posts, scanned more pages of posts and searched many times and although there's a ton of info here, it's scattered among dozens of threads, hundreds of posts.
I want to install in the "factory location" - that's a joke since they never actually had any installed - in short, where the 12v outlet is. I'll move that to a different location since I likely won't use it.
I've gleaned some numbers from hours of reading and looking and think I have the combo for what I want -
Controller -

Harness (HOPEFULLY with diode)
https://redarcelectronics.com/products/tow-pro-brake-controller-harness-to-suit-dodge-ram
And what I call a "bezel" to fill the gap between controller knob and 12v socket hole since that hole is large
https://redarcelectronics.com/products/switch-insert-to-suit-gmc-isuzu
I did not find any post showing the diode placement or direction, etc. so would need that if the harness above doesn't include it. I have diodes of all sorts so that's not an issue. I've made circuits to adapt an OEM AMC cruise control switch work with a Jeep cruise control system in the PCM - so not worried about a little minor wiring if needed. (that was a fun one to figure out as the controls between the two cruise systems were totally reversed and in different combinations)
Are those links above the correct parts to use a Redarc controller with a JT or is more needed?
Is that the correct harness?
