    Greetings I'm new to the sandbox and have a perplexing problem.
    First I have a 1996 F250 Power stroke 4X4 automatic transmission, 280,000 miles towing a 24' enclosed car trailer.
    The other day I hooked up the trailer to help a friend move and much to my surprise as soon as I touched the brakes the truck stalled. Started it up and drove down the block no problem and touched the brakes and it stalled again, Arrr!
    I cut the blue wire from the controller to eliminate the trailer brakes and no problem. Have any of you guys heard of such a thing happening and any possible places to start looking to correct the problem.
    Thanks in advance,
    Russ aka screamingman
