What are the Recommended Settings for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 on a Ram
Published 09/14/2017 >
Question:
I have completely forgotten the proper setting for my Ram Prodigy unit. I have the RV disconnected from truck since April and now looking to move on to another destination. Im thinking 4.1 or 2.1 but not sure. Can you assist?

Aside from choosing the boost setting on the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195, the power setting is really up to the individual.
I recommend starting at the lower 2.1 power setting and then loading your trailer up completely and practice stopping. You should then be able to gauge where you like the power setting at.
After you have figured out which setting is best for your towing setup I recommend saving that setting on the P3 so that you don't have to do trial runs. The "store" setting can be found on page 8 of your instructions which are also linked for you to referenced.
