Electric Brake Controller Opinions
Hey guys
I have a 86 K10, 350HD, TH400, 3.08 open diff I recently purchased a open top car trailer, to tow my 87 T-top Stang. The trailer has brakes on one axle. The trailer, with car will weight around 7000-8000lbs. I will probably only be towing 5-7 times a year max. I will be adding a trans cooler of course, but I am in the market for a brake controller. Does anyone have any good/bad experience with a specific make, or model?. What should I be looking for?.... Thanks Duro

Re: Electric Brake Controller Opinions
Can't help you with the brake controller, but I can recommend the Tru-Cool 4590 transmission cooler. It's 1.5 inches thick which is more than any other cooler I've seen.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LONG-...QQcmdZViewItem Gonna install it on my truck tomorrow. Don't know if it fits the 80's truck but my measurements tell me it will fit my 77. |

Re: Electric Brake Controller Opinions
Well I talked it over with a bunch of guys who tow car trailers all day, and they all agreed the Valley Industries Oddessy is a nice unit, so that what I have ordered. It's right up there with the Tekonsha Prodigy
Thanks for all your input Duro
