Intergreated brake controller

Beachgirl

In regard to your integrated brake controller on your new Chevy you will need to get DRV to install the HBA-CAM on your trailer before the controller will work with brakes on your new trailer.

My friend jimlock here on the forum just got a 2011 3500 about two months ago and was very very disappointed when he backed under his 07 and the controller informed him that he did not have a trailer attached to the truck.

He called LeeAnn Thomas at DRV on my advise she is a very good parts person and she fixed him up with HBA-CAM for about 90.00 he installed it and problem was solved.

Another DRV short cut they either need to install the HBA-CAM on all of their units or find a vendor that can supply a actuator that will work with the brake controllers on the new trucks. I'm sure that the extra hundred bucks that DRV will have to charge for this would not be a deal maker or breaker but it will certainly make for a lot less customer aggravation. Which is of no concern to DRV what so ever

As always good camping
