Message Center Message with Trailer Plugged In
We recently returned from our first trip with our "new to us" 2008 F250 Crew Cab towing the 5th wheel and I noticed that periodically while scrolling through the message center (distance to empty, avg fuel economy, etc) messages, I noticed another message that I am not sure what it means:
TBC Gain = 0.0
Output =
This is only while the trailer is plugged in. The Integrated Brake Controller appeared to work fine - had the gain set at 4 or 5 and while sliding the manual lever, the controller registered (the bars lit up) and also lit up when applying the brake pedal.
Does anyone know what the TBC Gain message above means though? Can't seem to find anything in the owners manual for this one.
Thanks!

they started to move the UI for the brake controller into the message area, but didn't complete it for the 08 model year.
I have the same on my F350..
I think on the 09 and 10 the message is ONLY in the message area and no little lights near the brake controller arms.

the 55 is fast & fun.. the 08 will tow 8 tons and not blink an eye.. ( really never want to put anything in the bed of the 55.. with its shiny finish).
