If you braked before you changed the wiring, and braked after, would you say, "Wow! That is a big difference"? Or would it be more like "Okay, that's a little better"?
Upgraded brake wiring to 10ga from front to back. Ran to a junction box and made all the wires going to the brakes on each axle the same. Also upgraded to the Dexter EZ-Flex kit.
Honest answer now. :)
It is definitely better. I tow with a 06 F250 that has the integrated brake controller. Before this upgrade I had to have the gain at 9.5. My current setting is 7.5. The only thing that was missing for the test drive was the toys and food. I had the trailer full of water and I took my passengers. I hit the brakes hard and no lock up like before to the front driver side. The way the trailer was wired before was wrong. All the splices and power to one wheel before jumping to the other wheels. Now they all get the same. I feel better and I didn't pay someone to do it either. That makes it all worth it.
