I believe you are asking about the power adjustment and sensitivity settings on the Hopkins Agility # HM47294. If you are asking about these settings on the Agility I cannot really tell you a specific number, it takes test driving to set these settings. Your power adjustment setting is a digital display from 5 to 99 in increments of 5%.

The way to set that is to connect the trailer and test drive it on a dry open area at a low speed between 20-25 MPH. Start your power adjustment off at 25 and your sensitivity level at 3. Apply the vehicle's brakes aggressively. If your trailer brakes lock-up adjust down the power settings by using the minus button. If the braking was weak and you feel like the trailer is pushing your Silverado make the power setting higher by pressing the + button. You want the braking to be firm but smooth so you will have to keep testing it until you find the right setting for your trailer and your truck.

Keep in mind when your truck is not fully loaded, you want to adjust the power settings down because you won't need to stop as much weight.
