Brake Controllers


Recommended Posts

Posted

Along the bottom of the dash, to the right of the steering wheel, above the gas pedal.

There is a narrow metal rail along the lip. It perfect for mounting the brake controller to. I used three tie wraps and didn't have to drill. It's been in for 2 years now and holding very good.

i mounted mine on the side of the center console, closer to the seat. this way i don't have to move to manually activate brakes or adjust controller. hand just drops down from wheel and lands on controller.

 

no pics right now, but it's similar to where kenworth-1 has his cb mic handle, just closer to the seat.

Thanks for the info. :jester:

 

I all ready have the prodigy controller, I was just curious where everybody else was installing theirs.

Mounted mine to the lower dash portion to the left... I always seem to drive with my right hand so this position make it easy for me to adjust it and manually activate it with my left hand...

I went on the lower left, just left of the hood release handle and a little behind it. Seemed to be the least likely place for me to be kicking it all the time. (So far, so good.)

YUP. Holes matched mine perfectly, Two bolts and nuts and I was all set. That and I tucked my wires neatly.

I would think this location would be to far away to reach for easy adjustment and to turn them on manually...

It has not posed a problem for me. I set the controller before the trip, maybe adjust for city/highway driving, but I do not need to adjust the gain all that often, it's my choice.

    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
