brakes

I live in south Florida and have no experience with winter weather. Next year, we are starting off on a long trip in February and we may encounter sub-freezing temps for a few weeks (or a heat wave, who can tell anymore?) I have heard about parking brakes freezing to the wheels so was...

What are the best braking systems for towing a Jeep, I’ve been looking at blue ox the patriot 3 and the invisibrake. I like that with the blue ox it’s not all the wires and hoses and hardware on the brake pedal but I don’t know anything about this any help will be great.

Found that my trailer brakes work really, really, really well. The cable pin pulled loose on a right-hand turn. Heard a "clunk" but figured I'd just hit a road hazard. Pulled over on the closest wide spot (about 25 feet from "clunk") and "service trailer brakes" light blinked on. I'm grateful...

A general question. I apologize for the length of the post. My tow vehicle is a 2021 Ford F150. I came with a tow package. On the dash, it has a "Gain" switch with a plus and minus sign. On the screen, I can go to the tow section and go to the Gain Section. Moving the plus sign raises the gain...

Hello All, My new TV has TPMS valves/sensors for the PUP. I'm wanting to pull the tires for my local garage to install the new sensors. While I have the tires off I figure its a good time to adjust the electric brakes, as 100% gain on my TV is not locking up the PUP brakes. The HW296 is dial...

I am wanting to change my non self adjusting brakes to self adjusting brakes on my 2015 Blue Ridge fifth wheel. Can someone tell me if I need to replace the old drums when I do this. Thanks

Hey, new to the forum. did some searches and did not find this topic but if it exists I am sorry to duplicate. I noticed that only one side of my trailer brakes are working, the passenger side. I looked and the passenger side brakes are connected to leads coming out of conduit near the...

Hey all, First off - I am new to the trailer game and recently picked up my first cargo/toy hauler a few weeks ago. It is a 2014 TA haulmark “low hauler.” I have been prepping to go on an upcoming trip since I picked it up a few weeks ago. Mainly getting tires, re caulking the trailer and...

Using a Curt Wireless Brake controller. Trailer is five weeks old. Default settings of 4 and 50% on brake controller worked fine up until a couple days ago. Probably put between 2 and 3000 miles on the trailer. Below 30 mph just touching the brakes causes the tow vehicle and the trailer to...

Anyone know if the brakes are self adjusting or manual? I almost have 3000 miles on mine and wondering if I need to adjust them. Thanks

Recently bought a 2019 Ram 2500 and hooked up my trailer for the first time. I noticed that I had zero lights and electric tongue jack wasn't working. However, I did have trailer brakes. I cleaned out the 7 pin both connector and plug but still no lights. Everything worked 2 weeks ago with...

We bought our first camper from an individual and when asked how to set the proper GAIN he just said somewhere around 6.5 to 7.5. When buying a new camper, I don't recall the dealer mentioning this topic at all. He probably assumed that I knew what I was doing. Now that I'm retired and ready to...

Hi All, I need to replace my brakes and do not know what to buy. My unit is a 2011 Cardinal 3150rl. If you have any info on what I should buy, I would be truly grateful.

Just brought home my prime time Tracer TT. While looking underneath I notice the drivers side brakes were connect on both axles but on the passenger side neither axle had the brakes connected. The wires are just zipped tied to the hub and not connected to anything. Surely this is not normal is...

Have a '21 Wolfpack 325 pack 13 and today is the second time the trailer brakes have failed. First time was after about a week of driving moving from Rhode Island to Colorado. Found a camping world that got us right in. 6 hours later and all new brake assemblies because the factory installed...

is there a adjust ment to these brakes 1,400 miles on trailer coming back last trip felt like trailer brakes were locking up sqeeling coming to stop then slaming do have the curt echo mobile brake control seems to be working fine dexter ez lube are these self...

Salem 27RKSS towed with 2018 Ram 1500. Trailer brakes sometimes work, and sometime don't. I've searched the forum and checked the obvious connections but can't find the problem. Getting the "check trailer brake connection" on the dash. Also, "service trailer brake system"...and lastly...

This might be a silly question, but here goes. Is there a way I can replace the back left brake light that is dimmed? Or is this something that I need to take to a RV shop? If this is something I could do myself, how would I know what light to order? Thank you Nancy

Just purchased a FR3 30DS and want to get a tow dolly for my Buick LaCrosse (3700 lbs). Which is best, no brakes, electric, or surge for this weight?

Wolf Pup 16FQ - upon driving from the dealer in March I noticed a rhythmic “catching” of the trailer brakes as I slowed to a stop. It felt like something was out-of-round. I have adjusted the Curt remote brake control sensitivity and max braking adjustments to fairly minimal intensity, but that...

Out of curiousity, I'm wondering how common self-adjusting brakes are. Just doing annual maintenance on my trailer and found out one side wasn't adjusted properly from the prevoius owner, as one side's brake shoes still looked pristine, and the other had less than 1mm left and had nearly siezed...

This is more of a curiosity question,, how many miles do the brake shoes generally last, under normal driving conditions.

Will be picking up 2012 Freedom 1950 for daughter and son-in-law this coming week and need to add electric brakes to it. Does anyone know which parts are good to use and if not, at least what is the bolt pattern, etc. It has 13" wheels. That I do know. I didn't think to get the rest of the...

Bought a 2021 ford f150. Hooked up for the first time to set the intergraded brake controller. Set it all the way to 10 and nothing. Im not getting any error messages in the truck its showing the but not stopping. Anyone having or had the same issue. Had a f150 18' last season never had an issue...

ATTN! Check your electric brake wiring!!. We drove from Raleigh to Surf City (2.5 hrs) Somewhere along the way, there was a message on the dash that said "check trailer connections". We pulled over, and didn't see any problems with the trailer connector. What it was is the brake wiring got...
