Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Yes I know about the whole banks + electronics = no good but oh well...
Anyway, I installed a banks brake on my truck roughly 2 years ago. Install went well and it has worked flawless up to about 6 months ago. It would sometimes not come on when I let off the accelerator pedal but would start working again a bit later. Then after this had been happening for a while I noticed that if I push the pedal down a tiny bit, maybe 1/8", the brake will come on but if I let off it will shut off. It seems to me like the banks brake controller lost it's calibration to what voltage from the pedal to turn on at?
Those unfamiliar with the banks brake, it plugs directly into the engine ecm and reads the pedal position that way, does not use a microswitch on the pedal. It has now been this way for about 3 months where I have to push it down a bit for it to work. It used to only do it a few times then go back to normal but now it just stays that way. Is there anyway to calibrate this thing? I've tried unplugging it to maybe reset it but nothing. Banks says it's warranty is up and I have to buy another
It's getting kind of old trying to use my right foot to hold the gas pedal at just the perfect spot to keep the brake on and then use my left foot to work the truck brakes while going down hills with my gooseneck...
