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.

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.

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.

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.

- Converting Military Trailer Air Over Hydraulic Drum Brakes to Electric Over HydraulicYou 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...
view full answer... - Minimum Voltage Required for Braking Using the Titan BrakeRite for Electric Over Hydraulic BrakesThe 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...
view full answer... - 2011 GMC Sierra Factory Brake Controller Not Working with Titan BrakeRite Even with AdapterYou 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...
view full answer... - What Aftermarket Brake Controller will Work on a 2020 Silverado 2500 and Dexter ActuatorHey 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...
view full answer... - Electric Hydraulic Actuator or New Brake Controller for 2013 Chevy Silverado With Factory ControllerThe 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...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting OEM Brake Controller on a 2006 Ford F-350If 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...

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...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting a BrakeRite SD Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Not Working After Replacing Brake PadsIf 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...
view full answer... - Will The Dexter K58-036-01 Adapter Work With Hydrastar HBA-1600 EOH Actuator?Hello Brian, thanks for reaching out. The adapters you mentioned the Dexter K58-036-01 part # T4845900 and K58-036-00 part # DX35FR will not work with the Hydrastar HBA-1600 actuator. Those are only for the Dexter Axle BrakeRite actuator. We do carry an adapter module for the Hydrastar actuator, part # HBA-CAM. This helps the actuator be compatible with EOH brakes and it works on the 1600 actuators with a serial number 506100 or higher. To be honest though, I do not have complete confidence...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Compatibility Issues Between EOH Brakes With A Chevy 2500 OEM Brake ControllerHey Rod, I would first check if your OEM brake controller has an EOH mode, if not then you can use Dexter's adapter # DX35FR to help your brake controller communicate with the BrakeRite actuator. The adapters still don't always do a great job and can cause the controller to not accurately function so the best solution would be to install an aftermarket brake controller that is compatible with EOH brakes. The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR is compatible with EOH brakes...
view full answer... - How Does a Trailer Brake Controller Sense when a Trailer is Connected on a 2011 Chevy SilveradoAftermarket 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...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Titan BrakeRite SD Electric-Hydraulic Actuator KitGood 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...

- Does Dexter BrakeRite Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator Work With Ford OEM Brake ControllerWhile 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.
view full answer... - Choosing Between the Titan BrakeRite and HydraStar ActuatorBoth 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)...
view full answer... - Dexter DX Actuator Wont Release Brakes with Ram Factory Brake ControllerThe issue you are having with the Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator part # K71-651 and Ram Factory Integrated Brake Controller (ITBC) is common. The brake controller is sending too much voltage constantly back to the actuator which is then not allowing the brakes to release. There are two fixes for this, the first is to install the Titan BrakeRite EHB Adapter part # T4845900 (Works with Ram and Dexter DX) however this does not always fix the issue as there are too...
view full answer... - Towing Multiple Trailers with EoH Brakes with Silverado Equipped with Factory ControllerYou are correct that certain electric-over-hydraulic actuators are not compatible with the factory brake controllers on certain trucks, such as the one on your 2012 Chevy Silverado. You are also right that there are adapters to resolve this issue but as you mentioned they need to be wired to the actuator. The only universal solution to this issue that would stay inside your truck is installing an aftermarket brake controller that won't run into this type of problem. I do understand that...
view full answer... - Solutions for Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes with a 2011 GMC 3500 With Integrated Brake ControllerI 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...
view full answer... - How Much Pressure Does an Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator Put OutThe maximum for disc brakes and the Carlisle actuator # HBA16 is 1600 psi. If you are looking for a drum brake actuator then use # T4813102 and add the reducer # T4844100. Drum brakes require less pressure, 1000 psi maximum. The Titan actuator reaches full psi pressure in 1.3 seconds. It ramps it up from the minimum amount of pressure that brakes require up to that maximum. The pressure in the lines is going to be different and it depends on several factors like the brake line size and...
view full answer... - Fixing a Dexter Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator that PulsesAdapters like the Titan BrakeRite SD Adatper, part # T4845900, will help keep electric over hydraulic actuator from pulsing. When a truck's integrated brake controller isn't compatible with EOH brakes the verification signal it sends back to the brakes reaches the actuator causing its motor to activate. In time this will cause the motor to wear out. With that being said you have a Dexter actuator and we've never tested the BrakeRite SD adapter on a Dexter. Neither has Titan. We've...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting An Ausco EOH Actuator That Takes 5 Seconds To Start Pumping FluidThere definitely should not be a 5 second delay on your actuator. I recommend using a battery to test your brake actuator to see if it takes 5 seconds from giving it 12V power directly to activate. If so, I recommend replacing your actuator. If not, the issue is in the signal being sent. If you are using the Ford factory brake controller, that is most likely the issue. You may want to consider upgrading to an aftermarket controller or trying the Titan BrakeRite SD Adapter for Ford/Chevy...
view full answer... - Bypass 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 Factory Brake Control to Tow Trailer w/Electric Over Hydraulic BrakesYou can bypass the factory integrated brake controller on your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 without disconnecting it thus leaving everything intact. If you go with an aftermarket brake controller that is compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes then it will absolutely work. You can still also pull trailers with regular electric brakes by switching the mode on the brake controller. First, for a brake controller the P3 # 90195 does have an electric over hydraulic mode so it is a great option....
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Factory Brake Controller on 2018 Dodge Ram That Is Not Working With Trailer BrakesI called the manufacturer and the newer model factory brake controllers are not registering your Titan electric over hydraulic brakes. This first started with Ford and Chevrolet factory brake controllers and so the Titan BrakeRite SD Adapter for Ford/Chevy Integral Brake Controllers, Item # T4845900, was developed. Since then, some new Dodge Rams have been doing the same thing. Item # T4845900 will work for your situation as well and should get everything working properly together once...
view full answer... - Bypassing Factory Brake Controller of 2011 Chevy Suburban to Operate Actibrake EOH ActuatorThe only solution we have that's going to work with your Actibrake actuator is to replace your factory controller with a controller that has a hydraulic setting like the Prodigy P2 part # 90885. The adapter you mentioned only fits Titan actuators and would not work for you. Installing the controller will involve you wiring an extra wire from the brake controller to your 7-way trailer connector. Under the driver's side dash by the emergency brake pedal will be a bunch of 5 blunt cut wires...

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.
