How heavy is your trailer?
Just to clarify you dont want brakes to lock up,that provides no braking by locking up.
Should be adjusted to be just before locking up.
I have integrated controller on my ford 6.7 with setting at 10.I will not lock up brakes either.Fiver weighs 14-15 k loaded.But I by no means feel as though im out of control.But Im no help with the settings in your dodge as far as l or h electric goes.
Quote from dexter if you have them."On an unloaded trailer, you MAY be able to lock up your brakes if your electric brake controller is supplying full amperage to the brakes. When loaded to capacity, MAY NOT be able to lock your brakes as electric brakes are designed to slow the trailer at a controlled rate, and not designed to lock up the wheels on a fully loaded trailer. Our brakes are designed to meet all applicable safety standards. All of our brakes will perform better after numerous burnish stops to seat the brake linings to the drums."
Obviously this is very dependent on your rv weight.
