    Not always Bill. I have had problems where it would work but not properly. I have also noticed a delay with the OEM controller. The aftermarket controller doesn't have that delay.

    Correct Tempest but the truth is the flywheels don't usually go bad just the ring gear. You can get that at a Nappa store cheap.

    If you got over 100,000 miles on the originals, why wouldn't you just buy OEM? Unless it doesn't stop good. I changed the pads on my F250 at 100,000 miles and they still could have gone another...
