The only time we have problems is coming into TR National park from the north. Its a serious down grade, you start at 65 at the top, after 1 mile of hill, you need to be slow enough to make a sharp 90 degree turn. I can always smell the truck brakes when I hit the bottom.

When we had our 18foot , the brake cable came unhooked, I missed that turn completely.

I dont know if this is the correct thread to post this to but here I go. I have a 2004 Burb, 3/4 with automatic/ tow/haul. I have purchased a Jordan Brake Controller and am wondering where you people with Burbs are installing this thing.

I have almost no room below the dash, so near my knees, and am wondering if it could go up a bit higher on the dash and still work. My console is so wide it takes up a lot of room.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TNSue, I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help with your location as I don't know anyone who has a BURB and installed one ... However the instructions that I was given at the dealer where I bought mine were to install it in a location where the cable had as straight a path from the controller to the brake pedel. Sorry I'm not more help ... You could possibly get more help from a local installer, or drop a note to the Jordan web site ..... good luck, Brian

Brian, thank you for anwering my question. I have been on the road for a month and just got back home and was able to check my e-mail. I did on the road but missed some and yours was one of them.

I found someone who seems pretty knowledgable about this subject and am going to have him install the Jordan for me.
