After years of procrastination, I finally bought a brake controller for The Destroyerâ„¢. This was a super-easy install. I can’t believe after all these years of towing that I didn’t do this sooner.rnrnTekonsha Prodigy DIY Install - Chevy 2500HDrnrnAfter doing some research online, and reading great reviews from racers who tow… I went with the Tekonsha Prodigy. I opted for the pre-wired harness for ease of installation. In fact… ease of installation is a huge understatement. Had I not struggled to fit my drill under the dash to install the mounting sleeve… this would have been a 15 minute job.rnrnAll the parts included for the install.rnTekonsha Prodigy DIY Install - Chevy 2500HDrnrnTake off the plastic cover in the left corner of the driver-side footwell, and plug the 6-pin male connector into the female end. There are 5 slots for this to plug into. My truck has the factory tow-package, so the 2nd slot from the left is the control output for trailer brakes.rnTekonsha Prodigy DIY Install - Chevy 2500HDrnrnFeed the other end of the control harness along the underside of the dash using zip-ties. Don’t tighten the zip-ties just yet.rnTekonsha Prodigy DIY Install - Chevy 2500HDrnrnThis “template” is to help you drill with proper spacing to attach the mounting sleeve. It was basically worthless for me. I cleaned the plastic off, but I couldn’t get it to stick at all. I wound up just forcing a silver Sharpie to make the marks through the mounting sleeve.rnTekonsha Prodigy DIY Install - Chevy 2500HDrnrnAttach mounting sleeve and feed control harness through it… leaving some slack.rnTekonsha Prodigy DIY Install - Chevy 2500HDrnrnAttach control harness to the brake controller, and slide into the installed mounting sleeve.rnTekonsha Prodigy DIY Install - Chevy 2500HDrnrnThat’s it. A very simple install. At this point I tightened the zip-ties under the dash… still leaving some slack at the brake controller so I can pull the controller out and disconnect the harness if need be. Set up the brake bias as instructed in the manual, and you’re ready to tow… and more importantly stop safely.
