Re: 2011 Silverado braking vibrates during downhill
Campfire Time wrote: It is not warped rotors. True rotor warp is very rare. If it was warped rotors you'd get the pulsation all the time at all speeds. It's hardened pad material stuck to the rotors. And yes it's caused from heat. Moreover it's caused from improper bedding of the pads, or lack of, after installation. Especially with ceramic pads. After it happens pull over and look at the rotors. You'll see little comet like deposits. It's more prevalent with ceramic pads but can happen with any type of pad. Thickness of pads is not an indicator that this will or will not happen. I'd put new pads on before doing anything else. And readjusting the BC would not hurt either. When I push the BC button, the trailer slows down and I know it's working. The number on the BC shows 18. However, I am suspecting that when I apply the truck brakes, I don't feel the trailer brakes being applied. I would assume that the trailer brakes and truck brakes would be applied equally??681Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2011 Silverado braking vibrates during downhill
Thank you all for your advises. I will check them out and see what I can find. When I push the BC button, the trailer slows down and I know it's working. The number on the BC shows 18. However, I am suspecting that when I apply the truck brakes, I don't feel the trailer brakes being applied.

Hi fellow RVers, For the 3rd time, going downhill in the mountains, the brakes vibrate. I had to manually use the BC instead of the truck brakes. Tires are brand new. Brake pads are good. Without the trailer, the brakes don't vibrate downhill. Wonder if I'm setting up the BC wrong because when I manually apply the BC and truck brakes the same time, the brakes didn't seem to be vibrating as much. Any help would be appreciated.3.6KViews0likes19Commentsmini blinds issue
Hi RVers, For the past 2 years, I have lost count of replacing those mini blind hold down brackets. No matter how careful we were around them, they broke easily. Does anyone have a suggestion or a better solution to this? I would appreciate the help. Thank you1.6KViews0likes7CommentsRe: RV 7 pole plug won't fit. Help please
My 2007 Ford truck had the same connector you have. The 3 grooves in your connector are much wider and flat. Mine has 3 narrow grooves and both are raised with the middle row sunken. The Ford one is a twist type one. I might have to change the connector which I'm trying to avoid. It's much easier to change the plug. :-)1.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: RV 7 pole plug won't fit.

It's really tight and very hard to plug it in. I really had to force it in and there is still no power. The plug doesn't feel like the right one because it only has one raised groove on top and completely round all the way while the connector has 3 narrow grooves.581Views0likes0CommentsRV 7 pole plug won't fit. Help please
Hi fellow RVers, I just bought a 2011 Silverado that already has a GM 7 pole blade connector. It has 4 grooves inside with the wide one on top. Our RV 7 pole plug won't fit in. It was too tight. Does anyone know where I can get the correct plug please? I looked in the internet and found nothing. I'm probably looking in the wrong places. Any help would be greatly appreciated.9.4KViews0likes26Comments
