Finally, someone actually tells you how to do it, not just that you should do it or that it can be done! Why doesn't Ram do that!

[jndtexas]

Finally, a clear explanation on how to set the trailer brake. Thanks so very much.

As a RAM diesel owner, I can tell you from experience. The Exhaust brake is awesome. FULL exhaust brake is max. stopping power. Only works when engine speed exceeds 1200rpm. AUTO exhaust brake works best with Cruise Control and Tow/Haul mode. If you have the truck set for 50mph, and you're going downhill, if you begin to exceed 50mph, the computer will activate the Exhaust Brake automatically, and, forcibly downshift the transmission to the correct gear, to produce approx 1500rpm and good exhaust brake slowing power.

I'm so happy you took the time to make this video...

Thank you so much! I have been trying to find a tutorial with no avail until now. Even the dealer who installed it couldn’t give me this kind of direction.

Thank you. You are good at explaining things.

[stevereid]

Hugely helpful. Just bought a 2023 1500 with this option.

Thanks for the video. Super helpful. The manual always makes it more complicated than it needs to be to get the basics.

Awesome! Thank you for modeling so clearly how to use the trailer braking system.😊

[SilverbackReviews]

Awesome, I was wondering how to use this when towing. Clear clean cut tutorial.

[Hogprint]

best explanation off the vids I’ve watched. Great job!

[bobcatbarnes]

thanks! I have owned my 2014 RAM since it was new, hauled dozens of trailer loads of cattle, and never knew about the integrated brakes. I never had any problems, so I guess they work very well. LOL

[RedRiverMusicCo]

This was excellent, easy to follow, thank you!

I’ve been looking for 30 minutes for a video like this. We used an aftermarket braking system before but couldn’t find any info on how to use the built in braking system.

Great video. Helped me understand it how to setup my trailer brake.

[msgt]

Great exactly what I needed to know! Thank you sir.

We have a 2015 Ram 1500. Went to the local dealership and had them install the OEM trailer brake system for our travel trailer. The gain won’t change (plus or minus) and when we squeeze the brake system levers “service brake system” displays on the panel. This occurs with our trailer and we tried my sons trailer with the same results. Dealership says there’s no problem. We’re going back to them tomorrow. And ideas what’s happening?

[stevedawson]

Great video and thanks for explaining so well!

Most of the time 7 pin will have trailer brake, do you have a trailer brake in the truck? It might be aftermarket and located by your knees.
