CHIP Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 In the process of buying a 2018 579 peterbilt. Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to set up the pigtail using the existing pigtail from the tractor.My son will be pulling a 40 foot living quarters horse trailer. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) Best way by far, is to use a Jackalopee. Simple to install and nearly bullet proof, unless some dipstick (like me) lets water get inside. Ours is mounted to the rear of the cab so I can see it from the back of the bed, using the led's for diagnostics. BTW, WELCOME!!!!!!!

Nigel Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 Welcome . As Rick said above, Jackalopee is the easiest way and can be found here https://ethitch.com/et-products/jackalopee/ If you are needing a brake signal for a brake controller it can be taken from the Jackalopee.
