Brake controllers again- need more info
I'm replacing my trailer brake and was going to follow the advice here and go with a jordan. The problem her is that the only one I can find in my dealer catalogs is a Jordan 2100, and from the picture looks pretty generic. Is this one of them you all are talking about or is this one of there cheaper versions. The other one I am lookin at is the Tekonsha Prodigy for anybody with any info on that one.

I've run the Prodigy for about 2 years and love it. It has three boost settings for when my car trailer is loaded, turn it off when empty. It may not be a "proportional" control but I guess I don't tow enough because I can't tell any different

Go to this web site http://www.jordanbrake.com/ and order direct from the company. Yes I have used the Pridigy and it works great, the Jordan is better, I have been told the Brakesmart is the Cadilac of the bunch, and you pay for that sort of luxery
Maybe I'll upgrade next year.

Just installed the Brakesmart....It was expensive, but it sure works great. (Nice to see a digital voltage reading while driving).....
On a side note: Took the truck out for 125 miles today through the hills to a lake and back after putting the Edge EZ in a couple of days ago....Great power AND 28 mpg!....Ran 62 mph when I could.

Pay attention, Livngood said the Edge EZ got him 28 mpg not the brakesmart

Well at 60 mph, flat road, no wind I could get 23 before the Stage 1 injectors, Edge and other stuff in my sig. The real question is what will I get towing the new Arctic Fox 25' 5th wheel?....Hoping for 15 mpg... Stay tuned.

The Jordan also shows the digital reading as well. I bought my Jordan HERE and saved $250.00 as opposed to the Brakesmart. I'm sure the Brakesmart is a terrific unit, but I'm pleased as punch with the Jordan!
