Yes, all the same options.

 

[Cummins12V98]

Yes, all the same options.

thanks.
I asked Stuart if he had disks. If so he should change setting.

You are joking......right?

Stuart, listen up! Do you have electric brakes or hydraulic?? Never mind the pictures and weight tickets. Two months of driving around the country and you are just now learning about the brake settings? 13 tons is not a toy for show and tell....

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

Electric brakes only this is just a bit of fine tuning.

I could care less about show and tell safety is first in my book?????

As your finding out about the art of towing heavy, there are some simple rules you should follow. First and foremost SLOW DOWN, keep your proper distance at all times, you should antisapate any conditions that requires you attention. Of coarse these are just the first of many things that you will learn over the years.

An example I personally experienced: I was towing a heavy toy hauler for hire, when I pulled into a truck stop to refuel, I couldn't even lightly tap on my brakes, the electric brakes on the brand new toy hauler would lock up. Its was really stressful just moving a hundred yards. At first I thought it was my "Brakesmart" controller, as it turned out to be a faulty pig tail from the toy hauler shorting between the brake light to the electric brakes, giving a full 12vdc to the brakes. So I had to cut the main wire to the tripple axle electric brakes so I could make it to my destination on time. Because it was a priority delivery, I had to keep moving. I then drove 500 miles without any trailer brakes through mountain passes and speed limits of 75 MPH's, as well as big city traffic. I followed the three simple rules posted, and made it to my destination that I was late on delivery for, but I safely made it there. The Exhaust brake and manual trans really helped, but with your Aisin and EB, you could do the same, if needed.

This is a brand-new wait wait tickets from yesterday I have a full fresh water tank with 80gallons 80 gallons of water so I'm trying to figure out my weight on each axle that's it thank you for your advice but yes I'm trying to be safe first????

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

actually with the heavy electric setting I had to turn down the gain a couple of notches I guess to five or six it actually was breaking too aggressively I mean really aggressive so just a learning process and remember the truck is still very new but yes I'm been going through all of the funny thing is I could have used light electric and just turn the gain up that would have been fine but not a big deal we're all learning with these trucks when I when we purchased it the guy the salesman said it has so many tech features your head would be spinning if you knew them all????

 

[Cummins12V98]

Leave it on HEAVY and adjust!!! Always run TH and EB!!!

 

[TFucili]

While there may be overlap in the output in light trailer/high gain, and heavy trailer/low gain, the ramp-up or shape of the curve will likely be different, so with a fiver that size you need to be on heavy electric, and tune from there.

Learning the finer details of some of the bells and whistles may be optional, and done or not done as you see fit, BUT when it comes to critical safety items, like how the brakes operate, I consider it my job, as a driver, to have a working understanding of these systems before ever hooking onto a load. My $0.02.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

Well said.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

What is EB I know what tow haul is but what is EB?????????????

 

[dieselshadow]

Exhaust Brake

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

Oh, ok I always use exhaust brake it really does a good job towing and empty.
