Seattle Lion: I am not talking about "routine" stops. I am talking about the panic stop requiring all braking power. My 5er WAS set up properly and was level, with the brake controller set right and working properly. As mentioned above, if you put the maximum amps to the electric brakes on the trailer, you probably will lock them up. In a panic stop, you ARE applying as many amps as you can find to those brakes as well as hydraulically applying pressure to the TV brakes. Not always the correct way to do it, but remember, it is a panic stop.
Did you notice that Dukeajuke made MODIFICATIONS to his truck in order to pull????
Actually you are not. You are only applying al you have dialed in. f they lock. you have dialed in too much.
