Disk Brake Conversion

Just a post to let folks know about my Disk Brakes. I had Performance Braking put this conversion on our 2005 Cougar Fifth Wheel, and a guy named Dennis came to my house and did the install. I'm very happy with the system so far. One thing I will mention, and it's the reason for this post in case someone else runs into the problem.

My tow vehicle is a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 with a Prodigy P3 controller, and after the install I had intermittent NC errors(not connected) on the controller. This freaked me out a little even though the brakes seemed to be working as they should. After extensive checking on the truck end, I could not find a connection problem. I spoke with Ron the owner of the company, and he knew what the problem was. The brake pump needed a resistor across the blue wire and the ground wire. It fixed the problem. The controller now indicates properly.

    What value resistor?
