So on very quick and abrupt stops, where we're really trying to stop quickly, this is going to go right up to our maximum power rapidly and deliver that braking to us when we need it in an emergency. When we're in city streets and just slowly on and off the brakes just trying to maintain speed, this is going to do it much more gradually, reducing the heat build-up in our brakes and also only using what we need at that time. The "C" here is going to indicate that we've got a trailer connected, so if you see a "DC" come up, it means you've got a disconnect situation. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 39510- Video
Today on our 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we're going to install the Tekonsha Voyager. This a proportional trailer brake controller, that will work for 1 up to 4 axles. It's part number is 39510. We're also going to be using the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter, that part number is 3016. Now the Voyager from Tekonsha is a great brake controller that uses a proportional system to deliver whatever power that you're inputting here at the brake pedal, to the rear of the vehicle. So if we get an aggressive emergency stop, and you really stand on it, this is going to provide more power to the rear. If we're in the everyday traffic to where we're just placing our foot on there just to slow down a little bit, the Voyager realizes that, and it'll slow it down gradually. We've got an adjustment here on the left, that's going to be for our output, or the amount of braking force going to our trailer. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2012 Chevrolet Silverado C51140- Video
Today on our 2012 Chevrolet Silverado we'll be installing the CURT TriFlex trailer brake controller, part number C51140. Here you can see we've got two lights once we've got our key on and the trailer connected. That indicates that our brake controller is getting power and also that we've got our trailer connected. Our sync modes that we have here for the level 1, 2, 3, and 4, that's going to actuate our brake and see how quickly it goes on. Now, since this is a TriFlex or a sensing system, if we apply our brakes it knows we're sitting still. It's only going to give us about 1.5% gain. more

Dexter Axle Predator Electric Brake Controller Installation - 2012 Chevrolet Silverado- Video
Today on our 2012 Chevrolet Silverado we're going to be installing the Dexter Axle Predator. This is a proportional electric brake controller capable of handling two up to four brakes. Part number on it is 58-8. The Predator is going to offer us a lever activation right here. That's going to allow us to gently apply our brakes from inside of the vehicle without actually using the brake force here on the floor. As you can see, once we do press in the blank 00:30 on the floor, it gives us a reading of .17, but since this is an inertia-activated system, if we're not moving it's really not going to provide a lot of force to those brakes in the back. A great thing about the an inertia-driven system is that when we really have those emergency stops and we really have to stand on the brake, it's going to sense that and it's going to give us a lot more power back there to help us come to a stop. more
