Most Popular Manual Adjust for Ram 2500

I received the product as ordered. The two day free shipping was much appreciated!! The only complaint I have is the packaging of such heavy parts. My order included heavy brake drums and the boxes they were packed in were not quite strong enough. My suggestion is to place an additional thick piece of cardboard to the top and bottom of the box. Two of the four boxes of brake drums were worn completely through, exposing the product. Fortunately there was no damage to the drums but as bad as the boxes were damaged it could have been bad news. Simple fix to avoid problems for the customer. Thank you!! Tony

Seem like quality parts but I haven't installed yet. One arrived with a missing piece but Amy was quick to get the replacement on its way. Great customer service and good pricing!

These brakes were a very good price. Installation was fairly easy, except that I had 2 studs free-spin during installation, which took a while to correct. If I ever have to remove them for service, I'll weld all of the studs in place from the back side so this can't happen again. I had to pick up a couple nuts as these brakes oddly do not come with them (7/16-20 grade 8 from Ace Hardware). Given the price, I think these are both minor issues. I'd seen other reviews complain about the packaging, I had no problems with that and they were in good condition when they arrived.

Prompt delivery and packaging was first rate. Thks for using ups. Their service in my area is the best by far. Initial inspection of the brakes is very satisfactory. Haven’t install them yet so can’t comment on the installation or performance. Don’t anticipate any issues.

Installing these turned out to be a battle, in part due to user error working with solderless connectors. Once I abandoned these in favor of old-fashioned wirenuts, my problems mostly went away. However, I have one big concern about the quality of this product: while troubleshooting my electrical difficulties, I discovered that with 3 out of 4 brakes(!), a hard plastic (or some sort of non-metalic metal) shard had broken loose and was rattling around inside the brake drum. They appear to have split off the back of the magnet. Obviously I'm concerned that had I not pulled the drums off and discovered this, they could have interfered with the operation of the brakes and/or caused damage. Although etrailer has provided stellar service, Dexter should be made aware of this problem.

Spring tensioner assembly immediately broke in my driver side drum. Im having to mail back the entire assembly on my own dime. Dexter service is nonexistent, had to go through etrailer for the warranty help. Ended up buying a whole new drum assembly because i need it asap, instead of waiting weeks for the warranty to get figured out. Very annoyed.

Ashley was outstanding. Knew what I needed even if I didn't. Bolt on replacement. Have not completed the install, but so far everything is perfect. Only thing that would be cool would be a cable regulator so we could attach the parking brake. I will manage.

fter a long day of improvising we managed to get the parking brake kit operational with the Dexter electric assemblies. Not ideal by any means but in a rush to ship the trailer overseas this is the best we can do with the limited time today. To connect the cable to the external arm of the break asy we used an off-the-shelf split bolt an nut designed for electrical grounding. It became necessary to enlarge the mounting hole in the arm to 3/8". This was quite difficult and had to be done on a drill press as the mechsnical arm is made from hardended steel. Nonetheless this gave us a mechanical connection between the dead end of cable and the mechanical arm. (The black paint on the arm was boiled off during the process of drilling due to high heat generated drilling thru the hardened steel. ) The angled mounting point of the cable did not fit great into the 90 degree bracket of the brake asy but it actually engaged enough to lock into place well enough to operate ok. Otherwise, not pretty installation but functional and we believe it will satisfy Brazilian DOT regulations which require a mechanical parking brake with separate control than the electric tow and breakaway brake actuator. Still quite disappointing and puzzlibg Dexter offers this electric brake asy with mechanical parking break mechanism but does not offer a cable kit designed to interface and operate with it. Seems crazy to have such a part designed but no cable & hardware kit for it.

Easy to install and set, thanks to the videos on etrailer.com

Fit perfect work outstanding! I bought these assemblies because they are Made in the USA. Only way to go.

Our 2021 Reflection 260rd 5th wheel gets used ALOT, that being said I will guess it has at least 4o,ooo plus miles. While doing a wheel bearing inspection I noticed one corner brakeshad unusual wear on just one shoe and another corner had a leaking wheel seal that needed attention. I placed an order for all four corners to replace all the backing plates and hardware, order came in as scheduled, I did the work and the brakes are back as good as new, very happy with the parts and prompt service.

I received great customer service and your delivery system was right on the mark

My trailer is over 25 years old and my concern was if I was going to be able to get the right parts. Everthing was still the same as back then. Much easier to replace the whole Assembly as opposed to randomly replacing a part here and there. I now have a new trailer...well almost

I did a total rebuild of my boat trailer. I ordered nearly all of the parts from etrailer. New carpet for the bunks new brakes and backing plates as well as a new brake actuator. New wheel bearings and seals. This trailer is old a 1974 but all of the parts fit I was satisfied with all of the products I received and the timely manner in which they were delivered to my door I am very happy with the fine service I received a t trailer and the help and selecting the right parts thank you very much etrailer.

Exact fit for my Master Tow dolly. One year in service with no issues.

Okay, but if you look at what I ordered, it was both sides. One came but the other hasn't yet. Weren't both the left and right shipped together as a pair as ordered?

Product was delivered in a timely manner and the quality looks great! thank you!

Order was shipped immediately and delivered on time. Packaging of product was excellent. Quality of product appears very good (not installed yet).Lauren followed up on shipment to see I was satisfied. Will use E Trailer in the future and recommend them to others.

Everything worked as it should. Good price and quick shipping! Will use this company again.

Great product! Fit perfectly, no hassle installing. Highly recommend!! Before and after photos attached.

Not as good as the originals but they do the job.

I bought a horse and carriage business and needed to find parts and you guys had what we needed and got us up and running again . Tried several places local and nobody carried these and never even tried to help as soon as they found out they were for a carriage. Service was prompt and definitely will use you again and recommend you

This is my second install of this brake kit (2 kits each time). The first set lasted a little over 4 years and then fell apart. The linings fell off the shoes, jammed against the drum, and locked the brakes up. It is less than 5 miles round trip to launch my boat. I don't need to launch or retrieve the boat very often so that is maybe 200 miles over 4 years. Since all I needed were new brake shoes I was disappointed to find that my only choice was to replace the entire kit. While it is certainly easier to just unbolt the entire backing plate and everything on it, it is a very expensive way to replace brake shoes. Bottom line: they are easy to install and work great (until they don't).

I restored an old concrete buggy that I purchased surplus from a rental company. It was in pretty bad shape. I got it sand blasted. I painted it with Rustoleum. I installed new brake parts, master cylinder, and wheel bearing kits. Pretty big project but it came out great! Now I have a great little dual-axle dump trailer designed to carry a cubic yard of ready mix. Works great for short loads of concrete and for drain rock and landscape materials too. I had to use JB Weld to get a good seal on the new plastic master cylinder cylinder-to-brake-hose connection, which was a pain because it leaked and required multiple attempts to fix. Plastic threads on the plastic master cylinder didn't seal with teflon tape. They are easy to over torque/strip! Maybe I did that initially, but JB Weld fixed the problem. etrailer brake assemblies were easy to install and of very good quality. Fast shipping. Thanks!

The trailer brakes worked out great. After an initial “hiccup” I received the correct parts and they went on smoothly and have performed great. Thank you for you assistance it really made the project work as intended.

Great value. Nice upgrade for my older boat trailer to avoid the hassle of locking out the brake actuator for backing.

Great kit, upgrading my trailer from the surge brakes that came with the trailer to electric. One note about these that's mentioned in the comments and the video it does not come with nuts and washers to install on your trailer (mistake in my opinion) but for me not a big deal. Just go get enough washers and nuts for your install. 7/16 FINE thread. Easy install, have not used them yet, still overhauling trailer.

Electric brakes were a perfect fit and work great. Highly recommend
