Can you post a pic? The previous pic in this thread was of a Primus and the Prodigy is made different. Thanks.

velcro should work as long as it is industrial type not the kind your wife uses making curtains. Be sure to clean the plastic with alcohol or methyl hydrate then the velcro should stick, let it sit on each piece before you put them to geter. Rub and put pressure on it to make the pressure sensitive tape work. Good Luck. Works for me all the time. hung door panels like that once.

I guess I didn't try hard enough, but I didn't think my prodige would fit very well, so I mounted it under the ignition by my right knee.

He cut out the inside of the cubby hole to get it to fit.

Default Brake Control Wiring Harness

Purchases a Valley Odyssey 2 controller...It came with a harness #30506. They say it should just plug into the harness under the dash close to the emergency brake...not so.

The dealer has removed the harness as of 2007....so you have to purchase a harness from them to plug in the controller...simple to do just more money.

The dealer said people didn't use them so they have been removed for re-sale...what a scam.

My '07 had a harness and my '09 has a harness that most brake controllers will work with.

Maybe they meant they were in all trucks, they only put them in vehicles with trailer hitches now possibly. I will have to have a look and see when the wife gets home, she always takes the truck now, man I get stuck with the 72 chev all the time...so okay, the tires on the 72 are much cheaper 15" 275-60 15 nice and wide BFG's I finally got my spacers to fix the rubbing now I have to get out there and get someone to help me put them on.
