Installed the BrakeSmart, What?

Got the new Brakesmart in and working the other day and it is sweet. A little harder to adjust for different loads than the Jordan but it can be set up exactly like you want it and later will readout EGT and boost with an additional module that's in development.
But, what's this? The "Daily Devotions Mode" Spare me. It will read out a random Bible verse each day. Yeah, like I'm gonna go to my brake controller for religious inspiration. That's definately over the top.

WOW, I gotta tell Jordan about that one. What a great idea. That is a cool idea to get some scriptures in front of a bunch of diesel sniffers.

Hmmm...mine doesn't do that. Mine comes up with a personalized message that I programmed in - "Let's Tow!" to let me know it's awake. Then after stepping on the brake it reads voltage/amperage.

Sounds like you need to turn that off. Of course you could progam in "I brake for Jesus".

If you tow in mountains, it certainly couldn't hurt to have a "Hail Mary" built in.

That's probably what took 'em so long to come back to the market -- had to get just the right verses to put the brakes on all the RV sinners from going to hell. I think I'll stick with my Prodigy.

Add a life insurance policy with that, Rusty.

Haha. You may have a bit of a point there. Maybe I'll strap a pocket bible on my Prodigy.
