Yes, and I keep the trailer brake screen on the dash front and center, when I first take off to make sure everything is connected. No offense taken, been on these forums long enough to know that the obvious isn't as obvious as you would think and hope.

I just got back from towing my 27' Airstream with my heavily loaded 2015 Silverado 5.3 1500 3.73 from San Diego to (Show Low) White Mountains in AZ via the Salt River Canyon and had to brake hard once with the trailer and once without the trailer on this trip and neither one felt right. First I thought it was because of the heavy load, but when it happened empty without the trailer, it made me wonder if there was an issue. The only other factor was that I had the brake lines flushed just before I took off, so at first it felt a little funny because of that as well. Regardless, I'm scheduled to get the system reprogramed next week before I head up to Idllywild for the weekend. Don't use my brakes much when towing and depend on the Tow Haul mode to keep me safe coming down 6% grades.

I haven't used Amsoil but my 2015 1500 5.3 just turned 45K and although I have only owned for a year, I pretty much strictly use it for towing our 27' Airstream trailer, so I opted to have the tranny service done. I have only driven it home from the dealer, but it sure seems to be shifting much smoother. So, I think the tranny service in general is probably a good idea doing before the suggested 90K on the service manual. Amsoil wasn't an option at the dealer but it sounds like these Silverado owners and even the OP swear by it.

It's not cheap but this one listed earlier in the thread is still an option. http://www.atct-guardiansys.com/

I ordered the complete actuator and picking it up today, but I saw some videos for replacing the motor and it looks doable. I wish someone would have made a video of the 20115 actuator replacement. Plenty of the 2007 to 2014 but I couldn't find any for the 2015 Silverado / Sierra model. Anyone know of one please post the link. Like to think I'm pretty savy about searching for stuff but I have come up with bupkis.
