Delivered on time , customer service was very helpful snapped in in seconds and I now have brakes on my trailer !!



by:

I’ve been on one 600 mile trip since installing these, 1week ago. So for they are a significant improvement over the surge drum brakes.

I installed these on a boat trailer, about 4,500 lb. I was worried about having too much brake based on other reviews, so I only installed one axle. My controller is set at 3.5. Factory controller in a 2012 F350. Didn’t need the Ford/Chevy adapter, but installed it anyway.

Install took about 6-8 hours, between making brackets, mounting everything, and fitting brake lines. Installed everything in two days on the weekend.

I ended up putting about 3000 mikes on the trailer before selling it. This unit worked flawlessly the whole time. I definitely would recommend this for people looking to upgrade. For my new trailer I used a competitive brand and don’t like it quite as much. The the Titan reacts with much less brake pressure than the other brand.

I still have a little lag but works as designed

I had to upgrade my fifth wheel to a motorhome do to my wifes disability how ever every thing worked out just fine fo the short time I used it.



by:

Excellent product! etrailer should change the name to include Ram trucks. My 2016 Ram 2500 wasn’t recognizing the EOH brakes on our boat trailer. I’ve seen other people with Ram trucks say this adapter resolved the problem. Sure enough, the brakes work just as they should now that the adapter is in place.



by:

The part arrived but didnt have the plug and play connector. After contacting Dexter to make sure the box was the same with/without pigtail it was installed and worked as designed. Kimberly was very helpful in getting me the credit for the correct part. Thanks Etrailer.



by:

Arrived quick, this was a replacement order for the Hydrastar controller adapter module that wasn't available until July. An Etrailer salesman recommended the Titan, which his fine, but no instructions on how to wire it in.



by:

Awesome service from ETrailer! FAST shipping and great customer service and follow up before and after the sale. Product looks well made and as advertised but have not actually tried it yet.



by:

Thanks to Michelle S., from etrailer for the fast and knowledgeable service.

Got the item exactly as ordered in a timely fashion. Very pleased with the Customer Service I received. Would use "etrailer" again without hesitation.

  • Converting Military Trailer Air Over Hydraulic Drum Brakes to Electric Over Hydraulic
    You are correct, there are 4 electric over hydraulic braking systems, from 3 manufacturers, that can be used to eliminate the air over hydraulic actuator on your M200A1 trailer. These systems all require a breakaway system to meet DOT safety standards. I will detail each system for you so you can select the one that will work best for your truck and trailer setup. First, the Dexter Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator, # K71-650, would be a good choice because it will work with the OEM...

  • 2011 GMC Sierra Factory Brake Controller Not Working with Titan BrakeRite Even with Adapter
    You may need to adjust the output setting on the factory brake controller on your 2011 GMC Sierra HD. I also assume that the adapter you are using is # T4845900 which is the correct model to plug in with the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # 4813102. You will need to check all of your connections. It is possible that a dirty or corroded trailer connector is preventing a good connection. Make sure that all connectors on the vehicle and trailer are clean...

  • Minimum Voltage Required for Braking Using the Titan BrakeRite for Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
    The issue that you may be experiencing is compatibility problems between the truck and the actuator if the truck has a factory integrated brake controller. First, the minimum voltage to start braking with the BrakeRite, # T4813102, is 10.4 volts. The real issue is most likely compatibility between the actuator and integrated controller. What you can do is use the BrakeRite, # T4813102, and then use a special adapter, #T4845900, to make the factory integrated controller compatible with...

  • What Aftermarket Brake Controller will Work on a 2020 Silverado 2500 and Dexter Actuator
    Hey Ryan, sorry to hear about the issues you're having! The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness # TK52HR is the most reliable controller both in general and when it comes to electric-over-hydraulic actuators. You may have to take your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 to a GM dealer to have the system flashed in order to use this as opposed to your OEM controller, but this will work. We also have the Adapter Module for BrakeRite # DX35FR and the Dexter BrakeRite SD...

  • Troubleshooting a BrakeRite SD Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Not Working After Replacing Brake Pads
    If your trailer has the BrakeRite II Severe-Duty electric over hydraulic actuator, # T4835700, installed for activating the hydraulic trailer brakes and the trailer was pulled with a Ford truck with an OEM brake controller setup, that should not cause the control module to stop functioning. Without either the BrakeRite EHB Adapter, # T4846000, or # T4845900, installed correctly the actuator would most likely not work properly. The reason the BrakeRite SD adapter is needed is that the...

  • Troubleshooting Titan Brake Actuator That Just Clicks And Does Not Pump Fluid
    If you have a Titan BrakeRite Electric-Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes like part # T4813102 installed there is a way you can troubleshoot the system to make sure it is faulty before replacing it. You would perform a 3 wire test. You will need a 12 volt battery to complete the test and test it in this manner: Disconnect the plug to the tow vehicle and the breakaway battery leads. There are color coded wires coming from the Brakerite that are about 18” long. Cut three wires, the black...

  • Troubleshooting OEM Brake Controller on a 2006 Ford F-350
    If your OEM controller on your 2006 Ford F-350 is a proportional controller, like the Prodigy P2 # 90885, then it will likely only send power back through the pedal when you are actually moving. The P2 has an internal inertia sensor so that it won't send a lot of power back to the brakes if you are barely moving. If you are trying to use your OEM brake controller on your F-350 and also use a Titan BrakeRite like part # T4813100 then what you are needing is an adapter. For this specific...

  • Electric Hydraulic Actuator or New Brake Controller for 2013 Chevy Silverado With Factory Controller
    The truth of the matter is that there simply isn't an electric over hydraulic brake actuator that is going to work well with the factory brake controller in your 2013 Chevy Silverado because those controllers were designed for electric brakes only. So even with a new EOH actuator like the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102 you would still need the Titan BrakeRite SD Adapter for Ford/Chevy Integral Brake Controllers # T4845900. That would be an...

  • Does Dexter BrakeRite Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator Work With Ford OEM Brake Controller
    While you'll need an adapter, your Ford OEM brake controller does work with the Dexter BrakeRite Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator - Disc # DX82KR. All you need to add is the Dexter BrakeRite SD Adapter for Ford/Chevy Integral Brake Controllers # T4845900.

  • Choosing Between the Titan BrakeRite and HydraStar Actuator
    Both the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit part # T4813102 and the HydraStar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator part # HS381-8067 will work well for you assuming you have disc brakes on your trailer. The 1,500 and 1,600 lb psi rating should not really be much of a concern as neither system will be applying this pressure in full each time you hit the brakes. In regards to preference, I recommend the HydraStar as it has a longer warranty (2 years)...

  • Troubleshooting Titan BrakeRite II System Pump Running but Trailer Brakes not Working
    The issue that you are seeing may indeed be an electrical issue. I recommend checking all the connections and wiring and make sure that there are not any loose connections, or signs of damage to any of the wiring. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the Titan BrakeRite II # T4834102, and as noted in the troubleshooting section, most problems that are experienced are related to wiring issues. There are several helpful diagrams at the end of the installation instructions...

  • How Does a Trailer Brake Controller Sense when a Trailer is Connected on a 2011 Chevy Silverado
    Aftermarket brake controllers send a small amount of voltage along the brake output wire, if a trailer is connected, the magnets in the brake assemblies will create a power draw. This power draw tells the controller that a trailer is connected. The integrated brake controller in your 2011 Chevy Silverado could possibly work in the same manner. I do not have much experience with them to say for sure. What I do know is that integrated brakes controllers often have trouble with electric...

  • Adapter Module for Brake-Rite Electric over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator
    It sounds like you were needing the Adapter # DX35FR but accidentally ordered the adapter with the plug, part # T4845900, is that correct? If so, no worries. You can indeed cut the plug off the adapter and hardwire it as shown in the diagram I provided.

  • How to Use a Titan BrakeRite EHB Brake Actuator with a Ford Integrated Brake Controller
    Not all integrated brake controllers will work as-is with the Titan BrakeRite EHB # T4813102. The 2006 Ford brake controller will need to use the adapter part # T4845900 to get the controller to activate properly. I attached a diagram that shows how the adapter will wire in to the EHB's wiring.

  • Solutions for Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes with a 2011 GMC 3500 With Integrated Brake Controller
    I did some searching on the Internet and if you wanted to, there is a way to use the integrated brake controller that is in your 2011 Chevy 3500 with an electric over hydraulic system. The first thing you will need to do is connect the 12 volt power source that is under the hood of your truck. This will be the 12 volt power source that will run the hydraulic pump to give you hydraulic pressure when you need it. Next, you will need to wire in two magnets to your trailer. You will need...

  • Is an Adapter Needed for the Titan BrakeRite EOH Actuator on a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
    The pulse prevent part # 5501 only applies to older trucks with an aftermarket brake controller. What I believe you are referring to is an adapter like part # T4845900 that will allow the factory integrated brake controller (ITBC) on your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 to work with a Titan BrakeRite EHB Electric-Hydraulic Actuator like part # T4813102 If this is the case then as long as the ITBC in your Silverado has an electric over hydraulic (EOH) mode built-in then you will not need...

  • Troubleshooting Titan BrakeRite SD Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit
    Good news, I can help you troubleshoot your Titan BrakeRite SD # T4835700 on your trailer. First thing to know is that a braking system is necessary when pulling a trailer equipped with brakes. The BrakeRite SD system is a good system for Electric over Hydraulic (EOH) brakes which it sounds like your trailer has. Since you have an EOH system on your trailer you will need to have a compatible brake controller on your 2015 GMC. If your GMC has a factory integrated brake controller with...

  • Factory Brake Controller Adapter For Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator On 2012 Silverado 3500HD
    Because you have a Dexter hydraulic pump, you are in an interesting spot. Dexter says that the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Adapter Module for Ford and Chevy Brake Controllers, # HBA-CAM, will work. HydraStar has not tested it with their system because they want to sell their equipment, so they will not confirm a fit. We have not tested it, so we can't confirm a fit either, but according to Dexter and some of our customers it has worked with their system. I don't believe...

  • Will HydraStar Brake Actuator Serial Number 702240 Fit Both 2012 Dodge Ram and 2005 Ford F-250
    My technical contact at Cargo Towing Solutions, manufacturer of HydraStar actuators, confirmed that your Carlisle brake actuator (thank you for including your photo) with serial number 702240 is a generation 5 and should work on both your 2012 Dodge 2500 and your 2005 Ford F-250. We have found that the compatibility with Dodge OEM brake controllers has been hit and miss with the HydraStar actuators, so if you do have problems between the actuator and your Ram, the best solution is to install...

  • Difference Between BrakeRite Adapter Modules
    The Adapter Module # DX35FR is the original part and requires butt connectors to splice into the BrakeRite systems while the Dexter BrakeRite SD Adapter # T4845900 was designed for the newer BrakeRite SD and comes with a T-Connection so you don't have to splice anything in. The SD Adapter will also work with the older models the DX35FR was designed for so I recommend going with the SD Adapter for whatever BrakeRite system you have.

  • Does the Factory Brake Controller in a Ram 3500 Need An Adapter to Work with EOH Brakes
    I called HydraStar who is a prominent manufacturer of electric over hydraulic brake actuators and they said the issue that you are having is caused by a compatibility error between the factory integrated brake controller and your electric over hydraulic brake actuator. Therefore, you will need to use an adapter. Please also make sure that you are in the electric over hydraulic mode if that is an option. In order to recommend the correct adapter I will need to know what electric over hydraulic...

  • Titan Brake Controller Adapter for Brake EHB with 2015 Ford Expedition
    What you described is normal for the Ford controller and is a bit frustrating having to manually put the controller in hydraulic mode every time you turn it on. The part # T4845900 would be a great solution to relieve that issue. With this adapter the controller will think that it's connecting to an electric drum brake trailer so you wouldn't need to run through all of the menus like you mentioned.

  • Troubleshooting Titan BrakeRite Actuator and Adaptor Not Working After Dog Chewed Through Wires
    One thing I would do is double check the wiring. Since it sounds like it works with a different truck it probably isn't wired incorrectly, but you want to make sure the same gauge wire the actuator and # T4845900 were already using or you will have problems. Outside of that I would start by checking my ground connections. Make sure they are secure on a clean, bare-metal surface. It is also a good idea to check the 7-way connection on the trailer side and the vehicle. Make sure there is...

  • Brake Controller for 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 for Trailer With Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
    The Dexter electric over hydraulic actuators are supposed to work with the factory integrated brake controller on your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500, but the fact is they don't. Your best bet is to simply replace the factory brake controller with an aftermarket option that absolutely will work with EOH systems. I highly recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195, which levels automatically, has constant diagnostic checks, contains safeguards which defend your controller against shorts, and features an LCD...
