I agree with both Dave and Bruce's suggetions to look at the controller and also the setup on the Prodigy.

We have an early 05 unit that has a Dexter brake unit that is not compatible with the Prodigy or even the Ford in dash. We went with the Jordon Research unit that is a direct connect to the brake pedal and works perfectly. I wanted to stick with the Prodigy but couldn't do it.

Like Bruce said, the setting for these hyd brakes needs to be lower initially or they grab severely. I found I had to leave quite a bit of initial slack in the cable and dial back the gain to get a nice even application and not give us whiplash! These brakes work great!

Good luck with the setup!

Cheers,
Bill
