Am not into absolutism..even one size fits all socks...
Are all of the vehicles of the same badge, same model, same year, same option mix, etc????
Same software rev level? Re-flashed?...not re-flashed?...etc, etc
Even down to the tires and wheels...heck...even the friction material...then
toss in ambient conditions (altitude, temp, humidity, friction material condition,
temp, etc, etc)
Are all of the trailers likewise of the same badge, same model, same year, same option
mix, etc????
For the after-market...are they all of the same badge, same model, same year, ETC?????
Were the installers all the same? Heck, even within myself...won't be able to
install anything the exact same each time...
Were all of the above setup the exact same (level, nose down, tongue %, etc, etc)
to the WD Hitch system...
Bottom line...too many variables and too many are talking as if everyone is
in an absolutely same everything...
The P2/P3's I've helped install and mainly adjust all worked very well and
the trailer leads the TV's braking. Even the OEM badges which have an older type
brake pedal switch (plunger, or think door bell button). Tough part was re-adjusting
them to have a little move to initiation of the switch...WITHOUT false initiation
Bought my P3 from a local horse trailer dealer/manufacturer. Went in there to
get a lower draw bar and he asked what brake controller. Told him was going to
shop the internet for a P2 or P3 and he said buy one from me...as I'll match
ANY price you find. Did that right there at the counter on my smartphone and he
matched it spot on. IIRC, $129 bucks for a brand new P3
Funny...told him the new 10,000 lb rated ball says to tighten it to 400 ft/lbs.
He NEVER knew that or that it was on the tag tied to it. He did NOT have a
torque wrench that went that high and took about 20 minutes searching all of his
employee's tool boxes...finally read the 3/4" air impact and it said 500 ft/lbs
I said good enough...knowing was going to a buddies to check it with a 3/4 torque wrench...
It was just under 400 ft/lbs and we re-tightened it to 400
