• Converting Trailer from Drum Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes to Disc
  I attached a help article that covers adding disc brakes to a trailer for you to check out but basically you are going to need to swap out your hub/rotors and also swap out the drum brake actuator you have with one designed for disc brakes as they require a higher psi. So for a Dacromet coated disc brake kit that is confirmed as a fit for your 5,200 lb axles you'd want the # K2HR526D but you are going to have to also upgrade you wheels and tire to a 15 inch setup since none of the disc...

• Where Does Extra Plug From 7-Way Harness on BrakeRite I Actuator Kit # T4813102 Connect
  I believe you are referring to the additional 3-terminal plug coming from the 7-Way harness included with the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play EOH Actuator Kit # T4813102. This will connect directly to the corresponding plug coming from the actuator itself (see attached image). If you are referring to something else please let me know and I will be happy to help!

• Will Titan SD Adapter for Ford Factory Brake Controllers Part # T4845900 Reduce Braking Time Delay
  My contact at Titan advises that the Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit, part # T4813102, will begin to develop hydraulic pressure approximately 3/10ths of a second after the tow vehicle brakes are applied (and after the brake controller sends its braking signal to the actuator). It is normal for the hydraulic pressure from the actuator to take additional time to build up, travel through the lines and reach the trailer brake assemblies. An overall delay of 1 to 2 seconds is typical....

• Titan Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Parts Recommendation for 5,200 lb Axle
  I have a solution for you, but all of the kits we offer are all designed for 3,500 lb axles. For the actuator you would want the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102 that comes with the breakaway kit. For a tandem axle brake line kit you would then want the # DM5425, and then for a disk brake kit for 5,200 lb axles you would want the part # K2HR526DKG. The hubs have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and would require the bearings part # 25580 and...

• Troubleshooting Error Message with Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric Hydraulic Actuator
  The female end of the 7-Way harness included with the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play # T4813102 that plugs into the trailer features standard 7-Way wiring. I have attached a diagram of how the connector is wired that you can check out. Since you received an error message when hooking up the unit and trailer to two different trucks, there might be an issue with the trailer side 7-Way. I recommend inspecting the 7-Way on your trailer for any debris or corrosion inside the pins that needs...

• EOH Disc Brake Actuator Compatibility with 2016 Ram 3500 Factory Controller
  In order to work with an electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) trailer brake actuator like the Titan BrakeRite # T4813102 your OEM trailer brake controller in your 2016 Ram 3500 must have a setting for this type of operation. Factory controllers from Ford and GM require adapter # T4845900 but your Ram OEM unit does not.

• Is Titan BrakeRite Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102 Compatible with 2014 Dodge Ram
  I spoke with my contact at Titan and he said you will have no problem using the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102 on your boat trailer setup that weighs 9,000 pounds as long as your vehicle has an in-cab electric brake controller compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes.

• 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...

• Recommended EOH Actuator for Use with Kodiak E-Coat Disc Brake Kit K2HR35E-8
  Disc brake actuators are available in either a 1500-psi or a 1600-psi pressure rating. Either rating will work with the KodiakDisc Brake Kit that you referenced. In cases where the trailer was a tandem axle set-up, or if it was a very long trailer, it would not be a bad idea to choose a 1600-psi actuator over a 1500, but again, either will work just fine. The main thing is to make sure the actuator is rated for disc brakes and not drum brakes, which need only 1000-psi to operate. The...

• Troubleshooting Titan BrakeRite Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator-Won't Build Pressure
  I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha, who is doubtful the controller is the issue. The voltage from the controlleer that's sent to the actuator is very minimal, it's just telling the actuator when and how hard to fire. The actuator is actually powered by the 12 volt auxiliary circuit from the 7-way, which delivers the power that actually runs the actuator. Since the controller will cause the actuator to cycle, and using a different truck seems to solve the problem, it tends to point the...

• Recommended Dexter Nev-R-Lube Electric Drum to Electric Over Hydraulic Disc Brake Conversion
  For your 7000 lb Dexter Nev-R-Lube axles, your bearings will be 50 mm. The kits you referenced will not be compatible with your axles. You will instead use the Dexter Disc Brake Kit - 12-1/4" Hub/Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - E-Coat - 8K - Nev-R-Lube # K71-646-2-90. This will give you 9/16 inch lugs as well as the correct nuts so you won't need to change your wheels. The Nev-R-Lube axles require that you only use their hubs and bearings versus the traditional tapered bearings and races like...

• Parts for Switch Over to Disc Brakes From Dexter Electric Drum Brakes With Neve-R-lube Bearings
  For a 7,000 pound Dexter Never Lube axle with 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern and 9/16 inch wheel studs you will not be able to go with disc brakes on the existing axle. The Problem you will run into is that the center of the hub on your existing brake drum hubs will not work with the slip over disc. Machining the drum off still would not allow the slip over disc to fit correctly. In this case you will need to go with drum brakes like you already have or special order axles that are outfitted...

• Titan BrakeRite EOH Actuator Will Not Lock Up Disc Brakes on 9,000 Pound Trailer
  Does the trailer have 1 axle or 2? And if 2 do both of the axles have brakes? If not that could be the problem if the brakes are not rated high enough for the weight of the trailer. I assume you have tried bleeding the brakes but if not try bleeding the brakes to see if maybe there is air in the lines. You can also check to make sure the brake pads are actually moving in and out by removing a wheel and having someone apply the brakes in the truck by using the manual override on the brake...

• Brake Controller Recommendation for a Trailer with Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
  I have a solution for you, but the Prodigy RF Brake controller part # TK94FR is not compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes. Instead I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885 as this controller is compatible with EOH brakes. The Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # DM5425 would work fine with AL-Ko calipers. The Adapter part # F77R would work for converting the 7-way round he has on his trailer. A better solution would be to not use an adapter and match both...

• Adapter Recommendation to Let an Integrated Brake Controller Activate Titan BrakeRight EOH Actuator
  Yes, if your 2011 Ford F150 came with an integrated brake controller you would need to use the Titan BrakeRite SD Adapter # T4845900 with the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102 so that your brake controller can activate the actuator. Without the adapter the controller won't recognize the actuator and the brakes won't work.

  If the brake controller of your 2012 Ford F-350 has an electric over hydraulic mode then you would not need to use an adapter with the Brakerite actuator part # T4813102. You'd just need to set the controller in EOH (electric over hydraulic) mode and you'd be set.
