Rusty, I's sure that financialplannerbob would be happy to take your money and "invest" it in fuel for his next trip. Probably wouldn't result in much financial gain for you but just think how happy it would make Bob and the missus!

Those that have moved from time based to Prodigy love it. Those that moved from Prodigy to Jordan love it. Most of those that have moved from Jordan to Brakesmart say it is even smoother than Jordan. Take your choice.
Brakesmart monitors brake fluid pressure. Jordan monitors the position of the brake pedal. Prodigy monitors deceleration of the truck.

They apparently sold to Dr. Performance.

Kind of dull around here without FiverBob chanting "Jordan, Jordan, Jordan...".

Installation was a snap.

Installation is a snap, but.... try to keep the cable fairly straight or it can cause problems. I had to remount mine after a while.
I had gone through a few controllers and then bought the Jordan. I liked it so much that I wanted to cover my butt, bought a backup unit. It still sits on my computer bench. Never had a problem with the Jordan for a couple of k of miles.

Just got the Jordan in and I installed it in about half an hour. I was so excited (for some reason) I went and loaded up the trailer to 12k and went for a haul. It is as good as you all say it is. The best 140 I've spent in a while. You really don't feel the trailer at all. No more jarring at slow speeds. I highly recomend this unit. Thanks all for turning me on to the jordan.

I'm running a 1993 (came dealer installed) tekonsha, and i will have to say It nice to have a quality, realitivly inexpensive, USA made product. They have great customer service too.
I have a 84 chevy and a 78 Dodge, both with the "plumbed in" hydrolics brak controllers. They work awesome. Why did they ever stop making them??
