Just finished up my first trip with the new brakes & actuator (about 400 mile round-trip).
Brakes worked great, no problems. Truck fuse didn't blow, and I monitored the battery voltage the whole time (Edge insight) and it never moved below 13.4v even while braking --- so it couldn't have been pulling too many amps from the truck. I know when I run my blow that voltage drops into the 12's.
I had no problem wiring up the yellow breakaway switch either, the only wire I had to fish was from the front storage compartment to the main pin box... pretty simple.
Will keep monitoring, but I think I am good to go...thanks for the help!
