[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 1709049, member: 2383"] Yes. Have someone sit in the truck with their foot on the brake pedal while you walk by the trailer axles, you should hear the hum of the magnets if you have electric brakes. I've often wondered about the durability of self-adjusting pendulum type brake boxes in a dirty environment. I'd assume the self-leveling mechanisms would have to have just about zero friction to level themselves out, and imagine a little bit of dirt/dust buildup on the mechanism would do all kinds of wonky things to them. I've had a couple of the Prodigy P2 controllers go bad over the years, and I'm pretty sure both of them were in the truck that we feed with most often. [/QUOTE]
