I towed with a ProPride and DirecLink controller. There is no “bump” when braking with properly adjusted brake shoes. The controller has worked very well on one two and three axle trailers of many weight ranges.
When you use the retarder on The Big Cummins on a downhill hairpin the hitch smashes in glorious fashion :). I trailer braked a bit into the next one for a much better cornering experience :).
I had a Maxbrake fail on a trip. I emergency replaced it with a Tekonsha P3. I replaced that asap with the DirecLink. The T is carried as a spare. No like controllers that are not connected to theTV brake system for input.
2006 Dodge 3500.
OK, so it sounds like DirectLink is the expensive controller that has basically taken the spot that the expensive Brakesmart and the Max occupied before they went out of business. Is that the only aftermarket one now that offers some semblance of true proportional braking?
So how many on here have the DirectLink opposed to those who just go with a P3 I wonder . . . ?
