Question:
I’m trying to install a brake controller on a 2006 international 4300. This is a chip body truck with air brakes. Do I have to hard wire this in or can I buy a quick connect harness?

Hey Jon, thanks for reaching out. You can add a brake controller to your 2006 international 4300 with air brakes. The best controller for that is the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller # HA100400C. This allows you to control the electric brakes on your trailer using an air brake semi or truck. This will be a much better option for air brake trucks than a traditional electric brake controller like the Tekonsha P3 # 90195. Take a look at the diagram below and let me know if you have any questions.
