My pump supplies enough pressure to immediately throw brake fluid 30 feet when there is an open in the system. I found that out on the trip up there to Boyne when I broke a brake line outside of Cleveland. I'd look to see how effective the pump is operating and pushing fluid down the line by opening the furthest brake bleeder and checking things out moving forward. |

I am not gunna pay somebody 2 start go'n over my truck w/ noth'n 2 go on!!!

Sounds like a trailer issue, such as drum brakes that are not adj out right and the delay is do to the time required to extend the shoes out. But with this being a new trailer and I'm going to assume disc brakes, that doesn't apply here????

I have an 08 450, just tried a Buds 2011 Ford 1 ton, same delay, fella that towed it up from NT had a 2010 Dodge w/ delay also!!! As far as I am concerned, this IS NOT A TRUCK ISSUE!!!!!!! Myco, step up!!!!

I have an e-manual for Titan and was reading the installation instructions and came across this paragraph. Don't know if you have tried this yet, but it sounds just like the problem your having:
4.1 All models of the BrakeRite are 12 Volt DC with negative ground. Improper connections and grounding can and will result in damage to the systems. For both the BrakeRite EHB & BrakeRite II SD 12 gauge or larger wire must be run from the towing vehicle battery to the BrakeRite with either a 30 amp fuse or circuit breaker for protection. The control leads for the BrakeRite EHB & BrakeRite II SD and all leads for the BrakeRite II RF 16 gauge or larger wires must be used. If light wiring is used for the power leads low voltages will result with slower response times and generally poor performance of the brake system. Hope this helps, electrical problems are the most frustrating to troubleshoot. I can email you the manual if needed. |
To bad your still having problems tell myco to pick it up and call manning have them build you one. Pretty sure manning uses carslile braking system not break rite..

The problem is not in your controller.

Might be worthwhile disconnecting the third axle's brakes and seeing if there is a difference. |
If you pick up the phone and call Myco, what happens?

I had the same thought on the pump. Given the size of the boat, both in weight and length that the brake fluid must travel, I wonder if the pump isn't up to the task of pushing the brake fluid to 6 calipers that are that far away; in timely fashion to feel deceleration.

all I am look'n 4 is properly work'n brakes w/ a 1/2 to 1 second delay like my 06 myco, not 3-4 seconds! other than that boat pulls & loads great, just like my 06 did!! don't think that is unreasonable to look 4 from a supposed top shelf trailer maker!!! do U??????

Delay
One thing I would suggest, and I apologize if this has been mentioned previously, is to make sure the hydraulic system has been properly bled and does not have air in it.
|
I'm having problems with a E/H system too. If I pull the break away when the trucks started they seem to work. I'm pulling with a 2008 GMC I just jack knifed the trailer going down a hill because the brakes didn't come on and I got into some gravel and shoved sideways. Just got the truck out of the body shop after a $4,100 bill. Our trailers now in a shop in STL so they can figure it out. It's also a newer Myco trailer. I'll let you know what they find out too.

Wrink, I think if there were any air in the lines or a restriction there would be a delay time for the pump to build any pressure to the calipers. If there is no air in the lines or restriction and after several trucks and brake controllers, I think that leaves the pump. But I would make sure they are bleed real well before I went to the pump. P.S I'm not so sure steel lines are better, lined or stainless maybe, but I have had too many plain steel lines fail on me. Plastic doesn't rust from the inside out and seems to take some flexing. Just my opinion. Doug

I was about to write the same reply. I think you may have a bad pump and either MYCO or Brakerrite should stand good for it.

Actually when the trailer/boat was delivered on May 25, I called myco that day & told them there was a 6-7 second delay( I had been used to 1/2-1 second at most w/ my 06 myco I had for years), after a few days myco had a local trailer man bleed the system & I believe he may have even changed out some trailer components! We did go from the 6-7 sec delay to 3-4 seconds!! but my baseline is my 06 trailer/same truck, delay as stated above & that is what I expect for the safety of passengers, cars/people around me & value of my boat!!! personally I believe ALL components on the trailer should B removed, replaced, bleed & start from scratch & C what happens!!!!
I think it's time Myco step up and fix the problem, you've been more than patient with them, 2 month!! |

It really cant be that hard. There are just a few components in a trailer braking system. Come on Myco. WTH?

& it ain't me!!!!:thankyouthankyou: |
myco makes a very nice trailer,that being said you would think they would have sent someone out to you to diagnose the problem,i believe the problem is with the trailer,not your truck,but even if they found a problem with the truck,they would not get the bad press they are getting now,they have 2 know they are not the only game in town.just my thinking,hope it gets resolved soon so you&your bride can go boating anywhear u please.

You've been busy, but any solution to your delay on the EoH? Congrats by the way!!
