Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake for Dexter ABS Tow Assist - 12" - Left Hand - 7K

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Accessories and Parts

• Are Dexter ABS Brake Assemblies Plug and Play with Existing Tow Assist Wiring?
  Yes Jacob - the Dexter 7K ABS assemblies # DX69WR and # DX79WR plug directly into your trailer’s existing Tow Assist harness. You’ll connect the brake power leads and the ABS sensor plug just like the originals. If your ABS light ever shows amber after install, it means one sensor isn’t being detected - usually just a loose connector or pin. Sometimes means a sensor is bad though and you'd need one from Dexter. Reseat both plugs and it’ll return to green automatically.

• Which Brakes Are Correct Replacements For 2022 Forest River Flagstaff 5th Wheel With Dexter ABS
  Kevin, yes - the Dexter 8K ABS brake assemblies # DX55WR are the direct replacements for the Tow Assist setup used on Dexter 8K Flagstaff axles that have the Tow Assist system. They mount to the same 4-bolt flange and plug right into your existing ABS and brake connectors. If your axle tag shows 7,000 lbs instead of 8,000, then the correct set would be the # DX69WR (Left) and # DX79WR (Right). Always match the replacement to the axle rating on the tag to keep your Tow Assist system reading...

• Can Dexter 8K ABS Tow Assist Brakes Be Used As Upgrade On Dexter ABS 7k Or 7.5K Axle?
  Ron, they can’t - even though both the 7.5K # DX23WR and 8K # DX55WR ABS Tow Assist brakes are 12-1/4" diameter, they use different shoe widths and hardware that match specific drum depths and axle components. The 7.5K brakes use a 2-1/2" wide shoe, while the 8K version steps up to a 3-3/8" shoe. That extra depth means the 8K backing plate, drum, and magnet sit farther out, so they won’t line up correctly on a 7K or 7.5K hub. If your axle tag lists 7,000 lbs, the correct ABS replacements...

• Will Dexter 7K Tow Assist ABS Brake Assemblies Fit Lippert 7K Axles With ABS?
  Dan, they won’t. The Dexter 7K ABS brakes # DX69WR / # DX79WR are specifically designed for Dexter Tow Assist axles - the flange offset and ABS tone ring position are unique to Dexter’s design. On Lippert 7K axles, the sensor alignment won’t match, so ABS won’t function correctly and they won't be able to plug into the same connectors/harness. If you’ve got Lippert axles, stick with Lippert’s standard electric brakes - they’re not cross-compatible with Dexter’s ABS components.

• Which ABS Brakes Are Good To Replace Old Ones On 2022 Airstream Classic 30RB ?
  Ryan, start with looking at the axle tube so you don't have to get your hands too dirty just to check what parts you need: ~3 inch tube with 7K Tow Assist hubs = order the # DX69WR Left and # DX79WR Right ~3-1/2 inch tube with 8K Tow Assist hubs = order the # DX55WR If you’re checking bearings, remember both use 25580 inners. 7K can have 14125A / 15123 / 02475 as the outer 8K is 02475 outer only. Since bearings can overlap, the tube diameter and/or axle tag is the simplest way to nail...

• 2023 Jayco North Point 5th Wheel Travel Trailer - Replacement Brake Pads For Dexter Tow Assist ABS
  Terry, the quickest way is to check your axle tube diameter and then confirm with the axle tag if you have it: ~3 inch tube 7K axle with tow assist abs = use # DX69WR Left and # DX79WR Right ~3-1/2 inch tube 8k axle with tow assist abs = use # DX55WR (includes left and right as a pair) Bearings can help confirm, but they overlap a bit: both 7K and 8K use 25580 inner bearings 7K may use 14125A, 15123, or 02475 outer bearings, while 8K uses 02475 outer only. Because both families use 12-1/4...

• Can I Upgrade 7K ABS Dexter Brakes to 8K Dexter ABS Brakes For Trailer With Tow Assist?
  Ron, they can’t - even though both the 7K # DX69WR / # DX79WR and 8K # DX55WR use 12-1/4 inch diameter drums, the 8K shoes are 3-3/8 inch wide versus 2 inch on the 7K, and the magnets sit deeper. That mismatch causes poor drum contact and throws off the ABS readings. Do you happen to know your axle tube size? 3 inch or 3-1/2 ? That’s the easiest way to confirm before ordering.

• How Can I Tell If I Need 7K or 7.5K or 8K ABS Brakes For Horse Trailer Axle With Anti Lock Brakes?
  Heather, most horse trailers in that weight range run 7K, 7.5K or 8K axles, depending on the model year. The easiest way to tell which you have is by checking the axle tube or bearing combination: A 3" tube with a 14125A outer bearing usually indicates a 7K axle. If this size the correct ABS brakes are Left # DX69WR and Right # DX79WR. A 3" tube with a different drum depth (12-1/4") means you’ve got the 7.5K axle, with the correct ABS brake assemblies being # DX23WR. A 3-1/2" tube using...

• Do Dexter 7K ABS Brakes Require Anything Special When Installing On 2023 Grand Design Solitude?
  Mike and Karen, these install just like standard electric brakes. For your Solitude’s 7K axles, the correct replacements are # DX69WR Left and # DX79WR Right. They mount to the same 4-bolt flange - the only difference is the extra ABS sensor plug you’ll reconnect. Once powered up, the Tow Assist system self-checks and will show a green light when everything’s synced. How are you liking that system? I've heard great things about the control when on the road.

• Will Any Style Brake Controller Work With Dexter ABS 7K Axle Tow Assist On Trailer?
  Brian, you’ll want an inertia-based proportional controller for best results. Time-delay controllers will function, but they pulse the ABS system too frequently. The Tekonsha Prodigy P3, Redarc Tow-Pro Elite, and Curt TriFlex are all tested and fully compatible with Dexter’s Tow Assist system on your 7K ABS brakes left side # DX69WR / right side # DX79WR. If you’re using your truck’s factory integrated controller from Ford, GM, or Ram - those typically work fine, too.

• Do Dexter 7K ABS Tow Assist Brakes Have Self Adjusters Or Do They Need Adjustments?
  They sure do. The Dexter 7K ABS brakes # DX69WR / # DX79WR actually use the Nev-R-Adjust mechanism for the electric brakes. Once installed, they’ll automatically maintain the correct shoe clearance. After installation, do Dexter’s break-in procedure - about 20 stops from 40 mph - and they’ll stay tuned in automatically after that. What type of trailer do you have this abs system on, Cole?
