Our most popular model, the Tekonsha Prodigy Proportional Brake Controller with wiring harness # 3020P, has many of the same features as the Hensley controller. The big difference is that the Prodigy will not work with electric over hydraulic brakes.

The features in the P3 Proportional Brake Controller # 90195 and wiring harness 3020-P are comparable to the much more expensive Hensley controller. Both allow full stop in reverse. Both will work with electric over hydraulic brakes. And both will monitor for shorts and other problems in the system.

Both of the Prodigy and Valley Odyssey II controllers are high-rated products and will install easily on your 2009 Dodge 3500 Dually if you have a factory 7-Way installed.

I recommend the Valley Odyssey II Proportional Brake Controller # 32810-V30506 which includes the vehicle specific brake controller connector for your Dodge. In addition to all the above mentioned features, it is also easy to adjust among changing cargo loads.
