cadonnelly Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 In preparation to pick up my trailer I looked at the resource guide and since I cannot change to disc brakes, it looks like the Tekonsha P3 looked to be the electronic brake controller of choice. I ordered one from Amazon. Today I came across a brand new Kelsey Air that I had ordered years ago. So I can use either one, any thoughts as to which one I should use? I can return the Tekonsha to Amazon, the Kelsey I can sell on craigslist or ? Thanks Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 The latest is the Direct Link http://www.direclink.com/ they work with most trucks, including your old one. Your old truck now has a Hayes controller that works off of the applied air pressure. The current one works great, a previous Hayes unit let the magic smoke out. https://www.amazon.com/Hayes-100400C-Air-Actuated-Controller/dp/B01ENS3A0G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489973604&sr=8-1&keywords=hayes+air+brake+controller Alie & Jim + 8 paws 2017 DRV Memphis BART- 1998 Volvo 610 Lil'ole 6cyl Cummins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadonnelly Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 That Direct Link looks excellent. Did not realize I had a Hayes on the first one. Probably should get in touch with the direct link folks, and see how much I might be set back, and I can always return my P3 to Amazon.

I think your original Tekonsha was in the truck still when I bought it but it had lost its mojo as well. The Hayes works well and many use it now since the MaxBrake is no longer available.
