I have mine set to Heavy Electric, Gain set to 10. Started at 8, didn't feel good enough, so I set it to 10.
On the first trip, when traveling about 35 mph, a traffic light changed to yellow at the last second so I had to do a quick stop. The trailer pushed the truck past where I wanted to stop.
Not safe, so yesterday I installed a Tekonsha P3 brake controller.
There is plenty of discussion on this problem. Here is a big forum thread on this problem.
Ram needs to fix this. The problem apparently is most prevalent with larger, heavier trailers whose brakes need more volts than the integrated brake controller is supplying.
