brake module
I need a brake module for my truck.
I have never installed one, used one once. Im not looking to spend a fortune, but what is a decent one and how hard are they to hook up? |
I couldn't even begin to tell you which one is best for the $$...maybe a sponsor will hit this one...

Prodigy, best on the market unless your lookin to spend some serious money. Just buy the adapter plug that goes with your truck and it's just plug and play. Mount the controllor to your dash, plug it in and your brakin. The Prodigy also comes with a user CD that explains how to use it.

I have a Jordan Ultima 2020, very nice controller but pretty spendy.
There are two basic types of controllers. The inertia type works off momentum and has no link to the effect of braking actually being done. Then there are the ones that are directly pourportionate to the amount of braking done. They are connected to the brake pedal or brake system in most cases. The Prodigy and cheaper controllers are the inertia type and work well on evering thing but liquid loads. The Jordan Ultima and Brake Smart are pourportionate type controllers and are the high dollar units. But they work well with all loads and all conditions. A brake controller is not something I personally would skimp on. I've been there, got the pictures to prove what happens when they fail. So spend your money on a quality controller like the prodigy, jordan, or brake smart and stay away from the el cheapo wal-mart specials. |
how do I get the vehicle specific adapter plug?
I found a few prodigies on ebay but it doesnt say anything about an adapter. whats wrong with the Primus one? I didnt see much different with them besides price. |
will this harness work?

I'm not familiar with the Primus controllers so I couldn't tell ya.
