Once again etrailer came through for me! While performing brake and suspension maintenance on my 2019 Grand Design 337RLS I found one of my brake calipers was leaking fluid and the inside pad was virtually gone. Leaving for an extended trip in 4 days. etrailer got me a new caliper express shipped and after installing I have some breathing room before departure! Thank you again etrailer!!!



by:

The customer service level is outstanding I hope everything is appreciated by etrailer as much as I am he's very diligent and help me find the right parts I comend him for his dedication



by:

Perfect fit on my 2004 MasterCraft tandem axle trailer. Drop in replacement for the "Reliable" calipers that were on there.
Incredibly fast shipping, came loaded with pads and all the hardware needed to bolt them right up and bleed them. Couldnt be happier!

One year later - my only regret is not doing the Kodiak install sooner!



by:

These are better than original. Installation for a triple axle trailer only took an hour not including running brake lines.



by:

I paid a $105 for overnight it was not done I want some of my shipping back,, On top of it you didn't even send me a tracking number on the order piss poor Information.....

So, it looks like our customer service department has been made aware and is issuing a refund for the shipping. Im sorry to hear that it didnt arrive on time.

Still working great!

Fantastic product selection excellent customer service

Only place I could find the caliper. Was initially out of stock, but had prompt shipping once it came in. Staff was very helpful in keeping me informed about the product availability.



by:

Arrived on time, and I was surprised it came with the lads and mount bolts. I’ll be installing it tomorrow.



by:

They look and work great



by:

Perfect replacement. And thanks for the quick shipping.

This is actually the second time I purchased one of these calipers. The first time was about a month back when one froze on me due to water in the brake system. Of course this happened the day before I was going on vacation.
While very happy with the quality of the caliper it was the customer service that was most impressive. I called in a panic in the early afternoon to see if I could get the part overnight. The sales consultant went way beyond what he could have done and hand delivered my order to shipping department so it would get out yet that day.
My point here is that you can buy good parts anywhere on the web these days but the reason I came back and will keep coming back was the service I got (get) from eTrailer's employees. That extra effort allowed me to leave on time for vacation with my family.
Oh and yeah Kodiak makes good stuff. Everything installed well and is working great. Thank you!

The brakes on my boat trailer looked like they never worked since new. The pistons were bonded in place with rust. These are the exact same brakes so they went on with no problems. Learned I needed to inspect trailer brakes a lot more often. One star off because one of the bleed screws would leak no matter how tight I set it. I had an old screw so I just used it.



by:

Calipers arrived assembled with the disc pads and new mounting bolts. Very easy to assemble. Very satisfied with my purchase

The disc brake system i installed on my boat trailer is still working great. I have not had any issues with the new pads and calipers. Thank you for the excellent service.



by:

Great help when you are looking for parts on a discontinued trailer!

Fast shipping.



by:

Boat trailer caliper was seized and causing the brakes to overheat. Headed over to etrailer.com since they seem to have the best part selection and easiest website to navigate.

I purchased a caliper that came with pads pre-installed (https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Kodiak/KDBC225DAC.html) and a rotor (https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Kodiak/KR12D.html).

Installation went smoothly. I'll be back for the other side when it's time.

Easy product search process. Easy order process. Fast delivery.



by:

Joanne was extremely helpful and the order arrived only
about a week early! All parts for 10 inch disc brakes worked.



by:

AS described got here in 3 days. Went on easily. all parts in the box. Slides moved freely tested and worked great.

The calipers have been great and still working strong, very Pleased.



by:

I bought these for my '05 Mastercraft (Reliable) trailer. They were a direct replacement for the originals. They came loaded with new pads and will fit either side. All the fittings were already installed and new mounting bolts were included which made installing them quick and easy. Great product at a great price.



by:

I ordered Dakota 225 brake caliper. It worked as it should. The problem is that I had bought two calipers and two rotors 3 years ago from E trailer and installed them. They worked but on seized up (would not release from the rotor) and overheated. I had to place the overide pin in my surge actuator and drive tow the boat and trailer .
I would think the caliper would last more than three years with less than 25 trips to the lake.

  • Replacement Reliable CL-1000 Calipers for Hydroglide Trailer
    Based on my research, the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC should work perfectly as a replacement for the existing Reliable CL-1000 Calipers on your trailer. This hasn't been officially tested by the manufacturer but based on the specs they appear to be an exact match. They are designed for 3,500 to 6,000 pound rated axles and work on 10 and 12" diameter rotors. I have also attached an image of a customer-submitted review that describes using these to replace original Reliable parts...

  • Will Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Work With Trailer Surge Brake System
    The Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC is designed to be used with a surge brake system so yes, it will work with your trailer setup. Just make sure that your axle is rated for 3,500 - 6,00 lbs,that your rotor diameter is 10" or 12", and that the caliper mounting flange bolt holes measure 5-3/4" on center where the caliper will be installed. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • How to Find Correct Replacement Braking Assemblies for a 1989 EZ Loader Trailer
    The part number supplied looks like it's coming back to the Raybestos FRC11046 brake calipers which as you are aware are not available anymore. That being said, we don't have any replacement parts for these braking assembles as we've never carried their parts. It's typically much more cost effective to just replace the entire assembly, which is what I recommend doing. In order to find the correct braking assemblies, I am going to need a bit more information about what you're working with....

  • Replacement Brake Caliper Recommendation for a Boat Trailer
    The correct replacement calipers for your 2003 Mastercraft boat trailer will depend on the current brakes you have installed on your trailer to a certain extent. I attached a page that has all of the brake calipers we offer for you to check out. The easiest way would be to find the same brand as you currently have. We have Kodiak, Dexter, and Titan calipers at the link I attached. If you can't find what you need email me back and I will see if there is a different setup I could recommend...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Disc Brakes that Won't Activate Although Actuator Moves Fluid
    First step I would try is bleeding the brakes. It sounds like you have an air bubble that needs to just be worked out of the lines and then the brakes should start working again. I attached a help article on bleeding trailer brakes too. First top off the master cylinder with appropriate fluid. Next you will want to pump the fluid from the master cylinder. You can do this by unbolting the plate that holds the lever in place and then use that lever to actuate the master cylinder and force...

  • Replacement Disc Brake Caliper for Reliable CL-1000
    The specs listed for the # KDBC225DAC Kodiak caliper I found online match up with those of the Reliable CL-1000. Either would be compatible with a 3500 to 6000 lb axle but because it hasn't been officially tested, If I were in your shoes I'd replace both calipers to ensure you're getting the exact same braking on each side for the sake of safety. We don't have a rebuild kit known to be compatible with the Reliable CL-1000 caliper.

  • Bleeding Trailer Brakes After Installing Kodiak 225 Disc Brake Calipers
    When you bleed the brakes on your trailer after installing the Kodiak Calipers # KDBC225DAC, you will want to start with the brake that is furthest away from the actuator. Of the two bleeder valves, you will want to use the bleeder valve that is on the top. If you are manually bleeding the brakes, it is easiest to use a clear jar to collect the brake fluid in so it is easier to see when there are no more bubbles in the fluid. Be sure to open the top bleeder valve when you are bleeding...

  • Replacement for Reliable Calipers on 2003 Prestige Trailer
    In the past we have had customers successfully replace Reliable calipers like the CL-1000 with the Kodiak # KDBC225DAC. This is designed for 3,500 lb - 6,000 lb axles and work with 10" and 12" diameter rotors. This hasn't been officially tested by the manufacturer, but based on the specs they seem to be an exact match.

  • What Info Is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Brake Caliper for Trailer Axle
    Basically I would need to know the axle capacity and the brand of brake components to know what you would need. For example, the Kodiak part # KDBC225DAC is a Kodiak caliper for a 3,500 lb axle. Nearly all calipers will have their brand and part number on back of the caliper as well.

  • Can Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC Be Used on Either Side of Trailer
    You can use the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC on either the left or right hand side. They are "ambidextrous" and do not have to be used on one side or the other.

  • Which Brake Assembly to Start with When Bleeding Trailer Hydraulic Brakes
    Sounds like your question is related to the trailer brake bleeding process where you are supposed to pick the assembly that is the furthest from the actuator to start with. Basically if you have more than one trailer axle you pick the rear-most axle and then start with the assemblies there. Once you've bled either assembly on that axle you then move to the one in front of it. Of the two bleeder valves, you will want to use the bleeder valve that is on the top. That's because air bubbles...

  • Replacement Calipers for Kodiak 225 Calipers on 3500-lbs Axles
    Yes. You could use the discontinued Titan 225CAL, if you can find them, to replace your Kodiak 225 calipers, but we do have the direct Kodiak replacement calipers available with part # KDBC225DAC that I recommend going with.

  • Replacement Disc Brake Caliper & Brake Pads For TDE Caliper
    From what I can find, the Tie Down Engineering 46304 is for either 9.6", 10" or 12" rotors, and we do have an option, so long as you have either 10" or 12" rotors. What you can use is a replacement from Kodiak: - Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper - Dacromet - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # KDBC225DAC These come with the brake pads so you don't have to purchase those separately.

  • How to Pick Out Replacement Brake Calipers for a Boat Trailer
    To replace the calipers on your boat trailer you will need to know the weight capacity for the axle that is on the boat trailer and the brand of the calipers. A very common brand is the Kodiak calipers, typically they will have 225 stamped on the caliper as well like the # KDBC225DAC. This system would work on axles that range from 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs. If you need a different caliper check out the link I attached that will take you to a page that has all of the calipers we offer. You...

  • Correct Replacement Brake Pads for Dexter 225 Calipers
    The correct brake pads you'll need for the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper part # KDBC225DAC (225) which is made by Dexter is the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads part # K225CP. Please note, the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper is offered in a few different finishes so don't be alarmed if yours looks a bit different.

  • How to Determine Right Hand and Left Hand Brake For Disc Brake Caliper Installation
    Yes, you would look at the trailer from the rear to determine right hand or left hand. The terms right hand and left hand come from right turn and left turn. The right hand brake is on the right side as if you were making a right turn. The Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper, # KDBC225DAC, can be used on either side. Kodiak designed the caliper so that there are multiple bleeder valves allowing you to switch them depending on which side you need the caliper on. .

  • Replacement Parts for Wheels and Disc Brakes Getting Too Hot on Boat Trailer
    A stuck caliper will absolutely cause the brakes/hubs to heat up like you described as it's going to be constantly engaged during travel even when you aren't hitting the brakes. This is the most likely cause of the excessive heat so it's definitely where I recommend starting. We do have a large selection of replacement caliper parts available such as the Kodiak # KDBC225DAC, which I have linked below, however I'm unable to track down the exact brand or capacity for the rotors used on...

  • Troubleshooting Surface Rust on Trailer Brake Rotors
    Theoretically if you just have some surface rust on your rotors it would be knocked off after a drive that included a couple solid braking events. If you still notice rust on the rotors after towing the trailer then this could indeed be an indication that there's an issue with the brakes or simply that the rust you found is a bit deeper than surface level. If the rotors are badly rusted then your best option is just to replace them completely. I have attached a link that will take you...

  • Are Kodiak 225 Brake Pads Interchangeable With the Kodiak 204 Brake Calipers?
    According to Kodiak the 225 and 204 calipers and pads are not interchangeable. As they have discontinued the 204 calipers you will want to upgrade to the 225 Caliper # KDBC225DAC. This particular caliper is Dacromet coated for corrosion resistance. We also have a Stainless # KDBC225S if you will be using around salt water. These will use either the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads # K225CP and we also have them in Stainless # K225CPSS for better corrosion resistance as well to match with the...

  • Can Kodiak Caliper Fit with Tie Down Engineering Disc Brakes
    Calipers, like the 3.5K Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC, are really only designed to work with same-branded systems so I can't recommend using this for your Tie Down Engineering system. If you need to only replace the calipers then you'll want to get Tie Down Engineering calipers, otherwise you can switch to a whole Kodiak setup with the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD87FR which has all of the parts designed to fit together.
