StephenH,
Thanks for the link to the scanner, I've been wanting one but too many to choose from. Good to see one that worked out for someone here, just ordered it. I have a light duty TV, 2016 Santa Fe and have been wanting to be able do monitor temps. I have a spare Android phone which will do fine as a permanent display. Love your mods by the way.
Thanks

| Originally posted by StephenH The R-Pod comes with electrical brakes. Unless your tow vehicle comes with a built-in trailer brake controller like some of the trucks, you will definitely need to purchase and install a controller. Some people use the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 controller. I chose the Hopkins InSIGHT Flex-Mount trailer brake controller as it gave me better options on where to mount the components. I have been very pleased with the installation. As for larger radiator and fan, I can't answer than one. What I did is to get an OBDII Scan Tool. I also got a cord to allow flexibility in plugging in and placement of it, but that is optional. I use the Torque Android app on my phone to monitor engine and transmission temperature and other performance parameters. I would recommend getting an OBDII device and then determining whether spending the money on a new radiator and fan are warranted. |
