It looks like the correct part number for the OEM brake controller for my 2013 Ram 1500 has been discontinued, 82213474, and has been replaced with 82213474AB. My concern is when I try to confirm this on the Mopar parts sites they only say that this new part # "May fit my vehicle". Can anyone confirm this? Are there any differences between the two part #'s, upgrades, etc? Thanks.

The last two letters of the part number is basically a revision change. You'll see the part numbers stay the same but the letters change, AB, AC, AD, etc.
The 82213474AB is listed as the brake controller for the '13-'14 model years with the 4 & 10 pin connectors under the dash.

One more question. I just received and installed my brake controller. I forgot to disconnect the battery before installing it but other than that everything went fine. I have an appt. tomorrow at my local Dodge dealer to get it flashed. My question is will not disconnecting the battery cause an issue with the flash? I didn't get a check engine light after installing like some other people did.
