Ram Factory Brake Controller

I never was able to lock the brakes up on my 8,500 pound TT, my 10,000 pound Fifth Wheel and certainly wouldn't be able to on my 13,500 pound fifth wheel. I pulled the TT with a Ford and then a Chevy and the 10,000 pound fifth wheel with a Ram. The others are right. Once you get over a certain weight, they won't lock up but will help stop you. I set my gain based on how it feels when at highway speed and keep it where I don't feel like either the truck brakes or trailer brakes are doing more work, meaning no push or pull. Wherever they feel like they are working in unison with each other is where you want the gain set to. I wait until I have an area of highway where there are no other vehicles around and then get on the brakes good. I do this however many times I need to until I have the adjustment where I want it. I do it this way because at slow speeds, the truck brakes alone would stop me but at highway speeds you need the extra braking. Keep in mind that if you are going very slow and need to stop, it will feel a little grabby but that's normal. I have never understood why so many people try to set their gain in a parking lot where you get to may 20-25mph. I want to set it at the speed where I would need the braking the most and where there would be the most forward momentum.
