Bob,
We have the disc brakes and they are far better than any of the elec brakes I have had. But, the elec brakes should be giving you better service than you are saying. Like said above, brake controller type, adjustment is a start.
You do need to re-adjust the brakes themselves each year. Easy to do by jacking up each one and adjusting like the old car drums. This helps a lot! They may have never ben adjusted properly right out of the factory!! Have seen it happen.
Next make sure you have solid connections at the brakes, no pulled wires or shorted to ground. The truck plug is also a good place to inspect for corosion inside on pins and where wires connect. The "blue fuzz" builds up here pretty quick.
I understand that the disc upgrade is getting cheaper and more places are doing it. They have kits ready to install. Plumbing the hyd lines and digging out the brake control wire will be the biggest challenges.
Even with the discs on the MS, towing with the pickup I had some tense moments. Like Rick said, I too am looking foward to towing with the bigger truck.
