Vern Thompson Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 My Brakesmart brake controller finally quit working.

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 The brake controller that is most like the BrakeSmart is the DirecLink, The DiecLink plugs into the ODB port and communicates with the engine computer that is well knowledgeable on the status of the brakes.

GeorgiaHybrid Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Vern, I have the DirecLink system and can recommend it highly for use on a compatible truck. Yours has an OBDII port and would be a perfect match for that controller. It uses the wheel speed sensors and determines when the engine is running and the brakes are applied to determine how much braking force to apply to the trailer brakes. Is your Mobile Suites equipped with electric over hydraulic brakes? 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vern Thompson Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Yes, it has 8k axles, 17.5 wheels and electric over hydraulic disk brakes. After i posted this morning, a search for brake controllers turned up the DirecLink on Southwest Wheels website and I also watched an you tube video on the DirecLink. It's good to see the recommendations for it! Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.
