Brake Controller

My pickup has been equipped with a BrakeSmart from Master Brake Systems since 2003.I recently tried to contact them and found out the are either sold or out of business.
Does anybody know what happened to them?
Who is handling this product now?

    Long gone. DR. Performance bought them and then discontinued the product. Now MaxBrake appears to be going under also. Got to buy a new truck to get a good controller now!

    Then Dr. Performance went under in 2011.

    What is your issue?

    Brake smart is a very good controller. Similar to max brake.

    Getting parts or service is going to be impossible though. You are probably going to need to replace the controller with something else.

    About the best choice now is Tekonsha Prodigy (original, P2 or P3).

    Tried it years ago. Doesn't work with electrohydraulic disk brakes.

    Same thing with my Jordan Ultima controller. Great product, but company now out of business and controller now obsolete/unsupported.
