Question:

I just purchased a curt venturer brake controller and installed it in my 2013 chevy avalanche. When pulling my rv trailer I adjusted the output to maximum. Should the wheels lock up, because they wouldnt.

Expert Reply:

When you adjust your output to maximum on the Curt Venturer, part # C74VV the brakes will be applied aggressively but will not lock them up as you questioned. It is a time-delayed brake controller and will apply the brakes to aid in braking as you need.

If you move the manual adjustment to maximum you will apply the brakes even more aggressively.
