Today got done with my job, and got to work on a few items before they depart. My Truck is heading to Florida for 6 weeks with a trailer in tow. I decided it was time to upgrade my brake controller, I did some research and came up with this.http://www.jordanbrake.com/

Installed hope it works, will test with their trailer tomorrow.

So here we go step one install the cable mount on the brake pedal, yep it uses a physical attachment to measure brake application. Big plus when pulling in the mountains.

Next mount the controller - it has two screws, had to drill the dash

Tried to get it into one of the many pockets on the truck - could not because of cable routing.

Route the cables and plug in the factory wiring harness, all done.

Ive never seen that controller.

I have a Draw-tite controller plugged into a pigtail that Ford was nice enough to provide. Works well with my close to 10000# trailer

I have the trailer towing package on my Dodge and the wiring harness is prewired for after market brake controllers. Sweet!

Plug it in and go (I mean stop)

Hey Paul, I figured you did not need a set of trailer brakes for your trailer. I mean what can it weigh, you have probably lightened it also.
