Just to update. I just returned from the trip with a 14K lb equipment tandem axle trailer in tow on a 10" (10,000lb) drop hitch. I'm running about 7 inches of lift, 37" military tires, and still have the factory 3.73's with the a 6spd truck. I had five motorcycles on the trailer (3 cruisers including a 2300cc Triumph and 2 lighter standards), a couple of loaded coolers, tool box, two trailer spares, one truck spare, and the bed loaded with gear. We weighed in at 14K lbs.
I towed at 70-75mph and through the Smokey Mountains averaging 12.99-13mpg. The brake controller worked just fine. Towing was great, truck just pulled and pulled. Had to keep it in 5th climbing the mountains to keep the egt's around 1100F or below. Other than that, perfectly fine.

i've run about 5 different brake controllers, and no matter how heavy you tow or how light, prodigy is the only one worth a dam imo. i had my first wreck last year in 12 years of cdl driving because of one of the cheap under 100 dollar boxes. buy the best prodigy one they make (they aren't cheap-i think i paid $180 for mine) but they have a lifetime warranty i believe. only one that i tried that has proportioning brakeing which is a must and you can switch between hydraulic and electric brakes in a couple of seconds which is nice option for me.
