Electric Brake Controllers

[Jaydog]

Let's hear what you have, and what you think is the best one to get.

I just bought a Prodigy. I can't compair it to anything else, it is the only one I have owned. I love it so far.

I found them running between $95 (internet) to $160.

When I was researching them, I was told too only go with Tekonasha controllers. The Prodigy is one of their controllers. Good brand...

 

[Jaydog]

I was also looking at the Prodigy, good to know, thanks

Crap--I can't remember what I have--its a nice one--got it out of a used rig :redneck:

X-eleventy billion on the Prodigy.

actually the very best controller i had was an old school that tapped into the HYD lines and ran that into an electrical signal. it was the very simplest and easiest to adjust. but




it annoyed me as even when not towing i could hear the bourdon tube flexing every time i applied the brakes, it made this high pitched scrapping noise. if the stereo was on loud enough it was cool but in the end i sold the controller with the truck and i run a prodigy now.

Prodigy

Anybody ever sen a full mechanical/electrical brake control before :haha:

My chev had one when I got it--funny stuff and talk about OLD SCHOOL!

Voyager by Tekonsha, it's good for 4 axles. Only towed with it once, new to me truck, but once adjusted correctly seem to work very nice.

mike yer supposed to read first....i was old school before you were old school.:cheer: mine worked awesome but the noise was annoying.

There was a Prodigy in the F250 when I bought it, so considering this is my first tow rig, I've nothing to compare it too. But it does work well.

 

[tomsbrokeagain]

I've ran voyager and prodigy controllers and the prodigy is by far the best and yes at twice the price.

 

[Jaydog]

Well seeing as how Prodigy seems to be everyones favorite, I bought one and installed it today, so we shall see. Thanks everyone. :awesomework:

got the voyager in the work van and the prodigy in the personal rig. By far go with the prodigy. IMO way better and less ajustment for different load weight variables. Shop around, when I got the prodigy found it online forjust over $100 (which included the proper vehicle pigtail so no splicing lines)

Brake Smart is what the big balla tow dudes run, but I just run a pos reese, works fine.

 

[MyDixieWrecked]

i got the hot rod prodigy and its awesome mine was 170

 

[jeepturner]

Prodigy works for me. I had a different one in the F-250, but it came with the truck and I don,t know what kind it was. I put a Prodigy in the Chevy and I like the ease of adjusting it to the load, wasn't like that with the old one.

P3. Prodigy's big brother.

By far the best controller ever. It makes the Prodigy look like the Voyager.
