  • Wiring to Install an Electric Brake Controller in a 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe
  • The wires to install an electric brake controller into your 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe are already under the dash but unfortunately there is no plug-in adapter. You'll need to hardwire the Prodigy P3 # 90195 once you find the wiring. I've linked an article that shows the wiring you'll need to find.

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler with a Fan for 2007 Nissan Frontier
  • Our most popular transmission cooler with a fan is the Derale Hyper-Cool # D13960. This is a stacked-plate cooler which is the most efficient style available. It also uses a 500-CFM fan for airflow. You can mount it anywhere you have room in your engine compartment since there's no need for airflow. It's most common not to replace your factory cooler but to add an additional supplement cooler.
