I will add, maybe again, that thus far, my IBC seems to be working fine..more than several trips in mountains of NC and TN, and into VA and WV. Was able to slow entire rig down by using the manual slider and at a low speed, will lock up wheels, (10-15 mph)...Haven't felt like brakes were lacking, but after reading so may post on this matter, I'm wondering.....

It sounds to me like your rig is braking more than satisfactorily. Still, I'll be curious to hear how much voltage your Ram OEM IBC is producing with maximum gain. If you're getting this kind of braking action with only 7-8v, no doubt you have some phenomenally efficient brakes on your rig. If, on the other hand, your Ram OEM IBC is producing 12v, that brings up my hundred dollar question: why you and not me--lol!!
