Braking expectations
Just thought I would throw this out there. I have an 11K pound fifth week towed with my Chevy 2500. I have the Tekonsha Prodigy as my brake controller. This unit is about 7 years old. My quest...

Why is the prodigy junk?
Remove the whole brake master cylinder part...I don't care about an obsolete product....not that it's not any good it's just not available or supported by a manufacturer any more.
The prodigy is still supported. Every device I have ever owned from Tekonsha has performed flawlessly. I recently wired in a Prodigy to my Minivan over my old stand in Tekonsha Voyager that I failed to remove from our last truck when we sold it. That Voyager was a great break control once I read the instructions and understood how to use it.
The boost feature on the Prodigy seems easy enough to set and the gain seems easy enough to set.
So please tell me...why is prodigy junk.. Because I have no problem going back to a Voyager if it is.
Thanks!

I should not really call it "junk". Tekonsha does make quality products. I had the P-2 and got sick of constantly having to change the setting depending if I was going thru a campground for example and had it set on 3 it would send you thru the window. Or be on 1 on the freeway and hit the brakes to basically have nothing happen then urgently get the setting changed.
Once you use an integrated controller or a MaxBrake like I currently use other controllers just don't come close!
Properly setup you should NEVER feel the trailer back there when braking. You should feel exactly like you do when driving your TV solo while braking.
Maybe the P-3 is better, I personally don't know.
