If they lock up, then back the setting down until they don't lock-up... My Ford controller locks up at 8 and not at 7, so I drive at 7.. 2012 3055RL Big Horn - Dexter 7000 lb axles - G rated LT Tires MorRyde, Genset, Dual Panes, 2 A/C, Yeti Package 2012 F350 SRW 4x4 Crew King Ranch Dick_B • View posts Palos Heights, IL USA Senior Member Joined: 07/10/2002 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/07/12 02:04pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Test it on a gravel road so it is easy to see when the wheels lock up.

Does not lock the wheels at that. If I remember, I will dial it down a little on wet roads. Don't want the brakes locking up on wet pavement and having the 5er come around.

P-3 controller with hydraulic disk brakes on the trailer. That way the brakes don't break anything.
