Trailer Brakes

[dmaxtruck]

Anyone have a particular like/dislike on trailer brakes? I've got a 9k 3 axle pinel(sp?) hitch trailer on the family farm and our old hauler is starting to wear out.

Cheaper is normally the way we go for this kind of thing, but sometimes you get what you pay for so I figured I'd do a little research before I buy. Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about trailer brakes or trailer brake controller?

FYI, it's pintle

For a controller - the Tekonsha P3 is the only way to go. Amazing controller!

Of course I sold mine cuz the LMM has the IBC and I cant get it to work

I have the tekonsha prodigy and it works very well. It has boost levels so when you need extra stopping power (highway speeds/mountain roads), you can up the boost and the trailer brakes bite harder/sooner. Around town, lower boost level and it works like normal.

If your looking for a brake controller make sure you get set up for 3 brake axels or how many ever you have. If the trailer needs new brakes look into Rigid Hitch. They'll give most any one a jobber account. When we need to rebuild our trailer brakes we just get the whole kit, hub,drum,everything. It works out to about the same cost. We used to just put shoes and springs on but then it seemed the next turn around a seal was out or then the drums were shot and you'd be pretty close to replacing almost every thing any way.
