What happened to maxbrake?

I just traded trucks, and took my maxbrake of my 03 v10 Ford. Was hoping to find the adapters to use it on my 11 eb f150 but seems they're no longer. Guest its eBay bound and a factory controller to replace it.

    Why didn't Prodigy die the same death? Sure, the factory controllers cut sales but people want cheap and easy.


    The Prodigy does not tap into your brake line. Most people are not capable of such a simple task.
  • Can't even find one on Ebay for a cost comparison,,,,, Who knows what shelf it will live on for the next 10 years LOL

  • We'll see what eBay says, if I clear enough to put the factory controller I'll be happy lol
  • Yep the simple "T" fitting on the master cylinder where one of the brake lines attaches. Very simple install with just pushing out air at the fitting ONLY and NOT a complete brake line bleed.

    I have NEVER had better braking than when I had the MB in my 11 RAM towing a combined 29K. It feels like there is no trailer behind you.

    I most likely will be installing mine I removed from my 11 RAM Dually in my 15 since the Factory screwed with the way the IBC puts out voltage and is NOT safe.
  • The factory controller is a good option.

    MaxBrake and Brakesmart were excellent controllers but few people would buy them opting for cheap instead. A simple install of a tee in a brake line was also way above what people were capable doing. As you know, controlling the trailer brakes with your foot pressure is the only intelligent way to do it.
