Need help with Brake box adjustment, when I apply the brake it takes about 5 seconds before the trailer brakes respond, is there any adjustment/s that you guys know of?

Thanks

I know aftermarket brake controllers (what I have) are adjustable, just follow the directions that came with it, or find them online.

If it is a built-in controller that's part of the truck, I would have to think it's adjustable as well. The owner's manual should tell you how to do it.

These are just the obvious suggestions. My truck is an '06 3500 and I am not at all familiar with a 2011 5500. Good luck with it.
