[AT] OT-Brake controller

[Brad Gunnells]

This is a little off topic but if we haul these tractors we need to get 
stopped to unload them!!  ;-)

I recently upgraded to an 02 Ford Crew Cab 4x4 Powersmoke and need to 
install a brake controller in it. All my previous trucks had the 
Tekonsha (I think) that were hydraulic. Those tapped into the brake 
system to activate.

I've been looking at the newer controllers (http://www.etrailer.com) 
and noticed time delayed and proportional controllers. I'm leaning 
towards the Tekonsha PRODIGY ™ controller. This is a proportional 
controller that you don't have to set. It self levels itself to the 
vehicle.

I was curious if anyone has used the different time delayed vs 
proportional controllers and which they preferred and why. Also if 
anyone has the Prodigy controller what they think of it.

Thanks!!

Brad
