Factory brake controller question???
Ww towed our new TT last Friday with our GMC HD2500. It truck has the factory brake controller, and that is where the question arises.
I followed the owners manual to set the gain....drive 20 mph and move the lever to attempt to lock up the trailer wheels....once you hit the lock up point, back off the gain....pretty simple, I thought.
I gradually increased the gain until it maxed out at level 10....never did lock up the rear wheels, or get close to it. At max gain, the trailer does slow down, but it is not like hard braking like my older prodigy unit was.
While I did not have any issue stopping the rig, I did not have to do any panic stops....can anyone tell me if this is normal?.
