Excellent video! I’m not knocking other people that get extreme in a detail because on some of the stuff detail is needed, but your video cut straight to the point! I was looking to install one of these myself. Thank you very much.
How did you get it out, mine definitely came out from the backside. I found that out after trying to pop it out from the front. I have a 2022 Silverado Custom.
I installed mine but it’s not reading the trailer . I have and done exactly what the video showed. Is there a fuse or something I need to put in or flip one of these two little switches on the control box.
I’m trying to remember if there was a fuse, if there isn’t one on the unit there should be one in the fuse box as it’s plugged into factory wiring. I remember something about the little switches but I didn’t have to do anything with mine. Unfortunately I don’t have the installation instructions anymore. I’ll try to get out and have a look at mine later. Definitely double check the wire connectors too. They are so tiny with not a lot of room for error.
Question: I just ordered this unit, I like the form/function and it seems like a well designed system. My question is does the system "remember" your settings or do you need to set strength and sensitivity each time you power up? Obviously stopping for food, gas, camping would mean a lot of resetting! I am assuming the main unit has an onboard lithium or something similar to maintain when powered off? Thank you!
Second question: I understand pressing the button and applying manually can be a huge help if you experience runaway sway, in essence stopping it almost instantly, but... does this mean you have to set the braking level once by pressing and rotating, and then if you do press it later, does it "remember" this too or will it always start at the lowest and require you to rotate while pressed (obviously not "instant", as it would be if it remembered the level you wanted/set)?
I may not understand 100% what you mean here but when you manually press the brakes it will go back to zero for the manual function. It won’t change your other settings
@@TRDoutdoors Thanks for the quick reply! I mean, if I push the manual button and hold, and say rotate the dial to 4 LED's, if I then release and re-push later, is it still set to 4 LED's strength or back to default (and I have to both hold it down and rotate each time)? My concern is pushing in an emergency is quick but pushing, holding and rotating isn't so much...
@@jackfetter just push and hold in an emergency. You don’t have to rotate. It’s just like other models where you slide the slider to apply in an emergency and then it bounces back. If that’s what you mean.
There is one screw on the driver side of the bottom panel to remove then it just pulls off. The middle panel just pulls off. Then there were a few screws that hold the main panel on. I just figured it out as I went. I don’t know if it was the proper way or not so stuff like that I tend to not focus on. I don’t want to be blamed for someone breaking theirs.
that piece popped out and i can’t get it to go back in. is there an easier way to do that. i feel like im gonna break it when pressing against the sides. do u have to pop that whole thing off to put it back in?
You can, however I found it interesting that the dealership I bought my truck from recommended this one over the OEM controller. I went ahead and did it on my own, but they were going to put this same one in for me.
@@vladstepanov910 from what I understand gm would need to reprogram the truck for the factory controller, and they won't let the dealerships do this. Seems dumb
Please skip to 5:46, then go back to the beginning 👍
This is exactly what I needed. I just bought my Trail Boss today knowing that it didn’t come with a brake controller. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching! I really like it. It’s easy to use and looks great!

I was in a hurry lol! And I hear you on that point about too much detail. I just want to know what I need to do and nothing else!!
Great video. And you didn't fill it with wasted conversation.
Thank you! I felt just the necessary steps were all that was needed in this one!
Great video. Thanks I love the speed install. That’s how ya get things done.
Thank you!
When I’m looking for a video to install something in my truck this is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you very much.
I hear you! We need to get things done right away.
Thank you very much. Great video ! Keep it up !
Thanks for watching! I hope it helped!
The panel actually comes out of the hole itself. No need to take the bottom panels off. Just installed mine today

looks like you have to squeeze the tabs from the back, from this video. Can you tell us how you removed it from the front? it will save time for sure
@@Username49ag mine definitely does not come out through the front. I’d love to know what model of truck they have.
@@TRDoutdoorsthe right side square pops out, the left one pushes in. Leave it to GM to do that.
You all get a thumbs up! Thanks boys
Thank you!
I know it’s been a while but… what plug did you use to plug in your 7pin in the back of the truck
My trailer has a standard RV style 7 pin so I was able to use the factory 7 pin plug on my truck. If that is what you mean.

Wish you had shown how you removed the bottom panel so you could get to the pop-out plug

I had to because mine came out from behind. Ive heard some models come out from the front of the dash but my ‘22 trail boss custom definitely didn’t.
Thank you Sir!
You’re welcome!
I make a real nice adapter for this on etsy if you look it up.
I just broke one of the the wires that go in the clip .. has anyone else have this happen to them ? And any suggestion?
What broke? The metal end that goes into the clip or the wire itself?
I think you are talking about the Molex pin connector.
Why can’t we put the oem in there ?
You can, however I found it interesting that the dealership I bought my truck from recommended this one over the OEM controller. I went ahead and did it on my own, but they were going to put this same one in for me.

@@MarkBarrack yeah, if they did this no one would ever buy the tow package
