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 do not disagree with you. It does not appear to be the truck. My speculations above are all associated with the trailer. I added some clarity to my post above.

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 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.
