Brake Controllers?

I just got my new 2500 QC 4x4 with the 6.7L and 6 spd auto. I would like to hear from everyone out there who does a lot of towing with the 6.7L and auto to understand which brake controllers seem to work the best. I've heard bits and pieces of info as to how the 6 spd auto works in tow/haul mode with the engine brake turned on. I have a basic brake controller from my previous truck (5 years old) and I'm wondering if I should just use that, or if there is something new and improved out there that works expecially good with the 6.7L/auto/engine brake combination.

Take a look in the Towing/Hauling section. There is a thread going on right now.

I had the original Prodigy... It worked GREAT..... But doing a little home work they just came out with a new one.... Im looking because I have a new DC and im going to buy somthing... Its the new P3 with LCD.
Best price I have found ~ http://autoaccessconnect.stores.yaho...3prsetrbr.html

Here are a few more ~ http://www.google.com/products?q=Tek...oogle&ct=title

Factory web site ~ http://www.tekonsha.com/p3.html

Anyhow, this is what I will probably end up with... Ive had great luck with the last one..

I like the Prodigy it works great and has a lifetime replacement if it breaks .
Mine was 6 years old stoped working i called and was told to take it to the nearest dealer and it was replaced freeof charge.
