What he said. Makes sense to me We also use the Jordan brake controller. I've used it for two years now without a problem.<br>See Ya<br>Chris

Haulin in Dixie,<br><br>It is beyond comprehension why anyone wants to slam a product by posting information which is incorrect concerning the current model of a product as you have done. <br><br>If you have independent certified test information that the Prodigy is an unreliable, unsafe, brake controller then post the source for all to see.<br><br>If it is your opinion, then so state. I am sure that we all could find owner's of any brand of brake controller which does not operate in the owner's opinion as it should, even a Jordan Controller. That is the nature of mechanical/electrical devices. <br><br>Why is it that Jordan Controller owners can't accept that the current model of the Prodigy Controller can do the same job equally well as a Jordan Controller? <br><br>The American Way to better products is through competition. Jordan and Prodigy is a good example of that.<br><br><br><br>

Re:Electric brake trouble

Had this problem with my GN and my dump trailer. Completely rewired the GN and soldered everything and shrink wrapped all connections. Got rid of those worthless crimp connectors. Those things are great for a temporary job but don't last once they get wet a couple times.<br>The problem on my dump trailer was an improper ground. Don't everlook the importance of a good ground.

I never said anything like the negatives that you posted as coming from me. The prodigy is the best of the inertia controllers.<br><br>Sounds like a plan. Please post your independant certified test results showing that a system operated by inertia is as effective, or anywhere near as effective as a system directly linked to the truck brake system.<br><br>Possibly Jordan owners are that way because the security of a direct link to the truck brake system in all modes of operation, including light braking on a steep hill to control the decent. This can only be done with an inertia controller by using the manual control.<br><br>I agree, why are there not more companies out there developing direct linked systems. There is no comparison. If there were this competition there would probably be controllers that are far superior to the Jordan. But it is so much simpler to hook up four wires than set up the cable system. Read cheaper for the dealers.<br><br>This is the last post I will make on this subject, I have nothing more to add.
