Hello all,
I have a 14,000 pound 18 + 2 dove tail trailer (late model PJ) that I use to transport my 10,500 pound tractor. I pull it with a domestic 1 ton pickup. I have a Prodigy brake controller. I set the controller to the max setting. The trailer brakes are adjusted properly and have plenty of friction material left.
On most stops I use the manual slide button to assist the trucks brakes. Often times I have the slider all the way over and ?2 showing in the led window.
With all of the above I don稚 feel comfortable in how much effort it takes to slow down. When I have to make a sudden reduction in speed it can be a harrowing experience because the truck and trailer just do not slow down like I think they should.
What can I do to increase my braking power?
TIA,
Blane
