electric/hydraulic brake issue???
 

excessive delay, reasons????

have tried 2 dif brake controllers(underdash & built in 450 Ford)

lines have been bleed, helped some but still way 2 long braking delay

Thanx 4 any help!!:cartman:

Sounds like still air in the system..................

Sounds like same problem I was having. Ford manual states there built in controller will not work with a electric over hydraulic style trailer brake system. I went with the activator 2 and since I pump my brakes the delay never seems to catch up. The older style did not have this built in delay and worked much better for my driving habits. The nice thing about installing the older activator 2 with a plug and play wire harness, it only takes a minute to unplug wiring from back of factory controller and plug this one in. With factory brake controller unplugged you will have a trouble on your dash so I do swap the 2 depending on trailer.

get the max brake and never worry again.

the newer Titan systems R supposed 2 work w/ the built in, drawtite act 2 & in-dash work'n about the same????????? near 4 second delay, my last trailer came on in about 1/2-1 sec at most!! so much for years newer & technology!!!!:daz:

I can sympathize about the delay problem. Anything over 1 second would be unacceptable to me. My Tekonsha Prodigy (with all electric brake) response is virtually instantaneous. I agree, about the newer controllers, more delay is a step backwards.

Exactly! You can adjust it to where you don't even know your trailer is behind you.

Get a Prodigy P2. It can run electric, or electric over hydraulic by switching modes. That is what I had in my old truck and it worked perfect with my trailer that had electric over hydraulic. I originally had a Draw Tite Activator II and it had a very bad delay, basically didn't do squat. I installed the P2 and the brakes worked perfect.

I love my Max-Brake controller.

Tried the Prodigy 3, same delay!! Scot at NT is have'n the same prob w his Myco under his new boat!!:hothead:
