Re: [VACList] Brake Contoller

I am not an expert on brake controllers, by any means. I have a Reese Compact 
controller in my '88 Chevy 4X4 shortbed that I have used for several years, 
and I like it because it helps stop the trailer. Now to compare it. I just 
bought a new Suburban 4X4 and installed a Prodigy, after like you researching 
info on controllers. To describe the difference between the two would take to 
long. But to make it simple the Prodigy is awesome. Could be the difference in 
tow vehicle also, but I have swapped the Prodigy over to my '88 truck, and the 
difference is incredible. The prodigy works like a champ.
I have heard good stuff on the Jordan also, but I went with the Prodigy mainly 
because of the 3/4 inch travel in the Chevy brakes. From what the tech person 
told me is with the Jordan I adjust the cable to a set length then factor in 
about 3/4 inch play to get a starting point. Sounded like it would take to 
long to set up plus I didn't want an extra cable down under the dash where my 
wife may accidently kick it. The Suburban is her daily driver.
Hope this helps.
PS: I order mine on the internet from Southwest Wheels in Texas for $117.00
