I have a Tekonsha Prodigy in my F150 and it works fine. The '01 F150 was pre wired, I just got the proper pigtail and plugged it it. Took about 5 minutes to mount everything. When we got a new Suburban in '06, I specifically wanted the towing package - something I always get, and was assured by the dealer that the Prodigy would work. I got the proper pigtail for the Prodigy so I could swap it between vehicles. That's something I seldom do but wanted the capability. The pigtail would not plug into the slot under the dash. It was very close, but there was one extra little tab in the slot under the dash that prevented it from plugging in. After a lot of phone calls, found out that GM had changed things slightly and that the pigtails would not work on the new trucks. Further found out that the even if the pigtail would have plugged in, it wouldn't work because the wiring between the plug in and the rest of the system is not hooked up. All of the wiring was installed but purposely not hooked up due to "liability issues". Some of the wiring was laying under the carpeting, and the insulation had not been stripped off for installation. Dealer service department was completely unaware of this, I found out from internet searches and had to tell them, and they later confirmed that this was correct. The store where I got the supposedly correct pigtail was also unaware that the new GM's were different. Since I had specifically asked and had been assured that my brake controller would work with the new Suburban, the dealership ended up installing and hooking up everything for free. But it took several weeks to figure out what was going on. So don't assume that your truck is OK and the problem is with your controller.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
