Input grade?
I just bought a used F250 Super Duty Crew Cab and it has a feature I am not at all familiar with. It is some kind of input grade thing and I have no idea how to use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to FTE. Can you provide the year and the type of motor you have?

Are you looking at a information screen?

It's a 06' 6.0 turbo diesel 2WD with airbags. Is it part of the brake control?

So you are trying to figure out the what is called the gain on the trailer brake controller.

It is a number from 1-10 with 10 being the highest setting.

It adjusts how hard to apply the trailer brakes.
