Re: Electric break settings
Welcome to the forum.
Every truck, controller and trailer combination is going to be a little different. My advice is to hookup, find an empty patch of road, and just play with the settings till it feel right. For me, I like to feel the trailer pull on the truck just slightly as the brakes start to grab. Not enough to lock the trailer tires, but just so I can feel they are working.
Once you decide what feels right for you, take a few practice 'stops' at different speeds. Start at a crawl and find your most comfortable setting and make a note of it. Then do it again at 10mph and adjust as necessary, make a note. Again at 20-25mph and adjust as necessary, make a note. If you have space, do it again at 35-40mph, etc.
The idea is learning how you specific combination reacts at different speeds. Then once you get out on a trip you have a starting point. Once you get to cruising speed, test you brakes and see if you need to adjust a bit. The controller on my truck does not self adjust, so I have a preferred setting for highway, in town and when parking.
It is better to know before you are really counting on them.
Edit:. Looks like I type too slow. Great tips @weekender01
