How long has it been (in miles) since you have done a brake adj on the trailer. Worn brake pads will cause the need for an adj of the controller. Once I get to a higher number (RAM integrated controller) say 8.5-9.5 or so, I do a brake adj and then I'm back to 5-6 on the controller. Just a thought.

Is your truck not still covered by warranty? Also make sure you are able to install an after market controller I seem to remember reading something about this because the one that comes installed is hard wired.
It would be insanity to run an aftermarket brake controller on a vehicle with a working IBC.
I put a Maxbrake on my truck. It tee's into one of the brake lines from the master cylinder with a pressure sensor. Calibrated it to the truck and was good to go.
My trailer does exactly what the truck does when I push the brake pedal. It's very nice not having to fiddle with the controller as I tow. I just drive.
No I have a 2002....it does not have a factory brake controller. I bought the plug for my truck and plugged directly in...I am running it on b3...guess it's doing what it's suppose to...my iold controller I felt a lot of pull back from the trailer this one doesn't. ...that's what made me post the question

B3 is the boost level. You still need to set up the voltage that the trailer sees. This is setup buy turning the wheel on the left side of the controller. When you move the leaver on the bottom of the unit all the. Watch to the left the max voltage will show up on the display. This voltage has to be setup for the controller to work right.
