Would like to get a new brake controller, but don't know which one works well. My current one is a cheep Rease that came from Walmat for about $30.00 and it is very touchy. Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

Tekonsha Prodigy

I second the Tekonsha Prodigy, do a search and you will see a majority agree. Cost about $125-150.

I have one, and like it.
I too had the Rease that was a pice of s**t.

Prodigy... wooo wooo! Especially nice when it is a "trade-in-treasure"

I am a BrakeSmart fan. Prodigy is OK, but the BrakeSmart is just a whole step nicer.

prodigy look on EBAY, less than $100.00

Currently using a Prodigy, should have gotten a Jordan and will be upgrading to a BrakeSmart in the spring. www.brakesmart.net (http://www.brakesmart.net)

Thanks Max--guess I had a brain cramp on that one!

actually sprintmod1 it is www.brakesmart.net

I second, third, fourth, whatever....Prodigy.

Install's in 20 minutes tops, plug and play!

Works when backing up also!

Easy to set, maintains its setting.

I also have the Prodigy.

Just so we aren't comparing apples and oranges here, and correct me if I'm wrong, the Prodigy is proportional inertia system, electrically controlled, while the BrakeSmart is a proportional hydraulic system, that must be connected to the trucks hydraulic braking system.

That is correct. The BrakeSmart's pressure sensor is easy to install. I know it scares a lot of people, but it shouldn't. The instructions are perfect with lots of pictures.

The biggest setback is the the price. It slowed me down too. However, I am very, very glad I took the plunge. Sometimes you do get what you pay for.

brakesmart for sure. prodigy would be third, behind the jordon ultima. the thing I do nto liek about the jordon is the mechanical link to the brake pedal, not proportional braking at all. brakesmart will also due elel over hydraulic, air , etc. and , EGT and boost module out during the summer.

everyone has a prodigy because they have been out forever, old technology. not knocking it but sensor tehcnology cannot be beaten for reliability. yeah, there is a difference in price, what is the ultimate in safety and reliability worth after you pay $40K for a truck

I have the Prodigy and like it, but will be upgradeing to the Brakesmart this year.

Prodigy for me, Had the cheap draw tite on my 03 works ok, but the prodigy is much better IMO

Brakesmart.

'Nuff said.

i have a prodigy and i like it but after reading how the brakesmart one works i might just have to upgrade to it.
