I probably don't need a Dyanmic brake tester for 7 pin trailer hook ups, especially considering I don't own a truck with a 7 pin trailer connector (thought of adding one on my old ford truck) but it is something nice to have at work.
I'm adding a 7-pin to Big Blue, so ship it here and I'll test it.

Sure am, Bill, I'm just curious to what extent Sears supports that thing these days; they historically have "some" parts & documentation available for decades....

I wonder where that stuff will go when they go out of business, as they are saying they may.

The secret is to find out who made it for them.

Yup. Dunno about saws, but Emerson Electric makes the shop vacs.

According to the source code chart they also made the saws. Some more stuff, dug through the cabinet and found this:





The cabinet has a set of casters with small feet next to them so the unit can be rolled around then lifted up slightly to be fixed in place for use. Sears said they have no idea what they are.

That address is before they moved to Hoffman Estates, west of Chicago. That's been quite a while ago.

lol Nice, I don't have it yet I had to have our Matco guy order it for me.

I would like to put a trailer brake on mine but I installed one few weeks back on a late 80s early 90s F250 and the instructions for it stated not to be mounted any where near a CB radio. Since I have one I wont be able to use it unless I can find one that wont have any interference.

113.29402 unfortunately there is no number on the cabinet which I suspect was an extra item dad bought either with it or after we moved to Virginia Beach in 1967.

When they say "near" they mean not next to each other.
All of my controlers were mounted under the dash right of colum and the cb mounted to the front of center console or cup holder just in front of it and never had any issues.

Now for factory controlers what you say could be true?

edit trucks were 86 K5 Blazer and my 02 Dodge Durango in drive now.

well this truck had the factory wiring harness I reused it to install this aftermarket controller.

Currently my CB is mounted below my dealer installed AC controls which is where the little glove pocket to the right of the column used to be. Then next to my radio towards the column is my KC auxiliary driving light control switch. So only place for the trailer brake controller would be directly under the column or closer to the hood release.

Thing is though I currently don't have a trailer to pull anymore but I have been thinking of getting a pontoon boat down the road after I move. Then again I also planned on getting a newer truck anyways for daily driving.

I think, been a long time, my 86 Blazer was a factory trailer setup as it had the brake & power line run down the frame rail.
I do know the 02 Dodge also has the factory trailer setup as all I had to do was plug in my controller and was done.
The Blazer I had to wire up the my plug out back.


Was the warning for a factory supplied brake controller?
