I was getting a little wheel skidding during the down shift on damp roads in T/H mode. I just shift to 4 in town and it smooths out nicely .... And Ebrakes down to high 20's instead of high 30's
Good to hear that they are lasting.... Nice feature!

BroncoHound,
I like where you put your EBC, did you cut out the back of the panel to fit the controller. The place i have mine mounted is too close to my knee.

BTW my Exh. brake is on all the time also

no cutting was necessary. the P3 mount fit in there perfect and there was just enough space between the panels to fit the wiring harness without the need to drill a hole for it. the only modification done to the truck was drilling 2 holes to screw the mount for the unit. I love the way it came out; it's the perfect place for the P3. Hope this helps.

That's where I mounted my P3 also only I used velcro instead of drilling holes...

Hummm, the P3 must be a pretty small controller. I have a Voyager and it stuck out too far. Guess I'll go look into a P3

Wow... talk about perfect timing!! I just recently purchased the P3 and have been scratching my head wondering where it was going to go. It's a great looking install... one I'm sure is going to be used by many. Great idea.
