We just acquired a 1997 Volvo WIA 64 tractor. It came with a maxbrake controller wired through a jackalope. I have been trying to calibrate this thing to my 4100 king and for some reason I cant get the screen to show the T number and when I hit the brakes...I get no bar strength on the...

Bob I did buy it used....and I'm also gonna give a call to Lippert and get their bend on this. This is good to know cause I had'nt thought about that. Thank you.

Thanks Dan...i'm gonna work both angles. Dealer and Manufacturer.
