Hey there Mohan. The Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 72" Long - 2,000 lbs #e37YR you were looking at already has an idler hub on it which is not setup for brakes. You would need to replace the axle with something like…
Hey Scott! I recommend using the Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes #HS381-8067. Hydrastar is a reliable, proven brand so it will serve you well. Then for brake lines you can use the Hydrastar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit -…
Hi Joe; the Self-Contained Hydraulic Jack #e33VV has its reservoir built into the hydraulic power unit, so it isn’t a typical standalone replacement part. RAM does list the tank as part HPU-TANK0025H, but it isn’t something that’s available through…
The Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes #HS481-8067 is designed to be completely plug-and-play so the female end of the 7-way would need to connect to the 7-way cable that's already installed on the trailer…
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
Hi Jim, the honest answer is that there isn’t a direct replacement or rebuild kit still available for the TDE LP8000, so the right path forward is to replace the entire actuator, which typically means cutting the old one off and installing a new…
Hey Eli! The first thing you want to do is make sure you have brake flanges on those axles. You also need to take a look at the axle tags and find the axle capacity. More than likely they're 3,500 lb axles so I'll answer based on that. If you…
When aligning tandem axles you simply want to make sure you are aligning them so they are square to the trailer frame. The easiest way to do this is with a simple measurement from the center of the trailer frame to the to the center of the wheel on…
While I was unable to confirm who manufacturers the Defender 2 brake away system on your 2021 Big Tex 60EC. I do agree that the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit #3802346 does look identical minus the decal and they have the same wiring…
Hi Jeff, welcome back and sorry to hear that gave you so much trouble. The Redarc Tow-Pro Link Bluetooth Brake Controller #RED57AR will work on your Silverado. This plugs in-line at the back of your 7-way at the rear of the truck. You can either…
Hey Keith, the Bright Way Battery part #BRW87FR that you referenced is 6 inches long, 2.5 inches wide and 3.7 inches tall. It also weighs 5.8 lb. Are you looking for a replacement for a breakaway system?
Because Buyer's Products considers the build sheets and CAD drawings to be proprietary information, they won't provide copies of that. This being said, I pulled one of the #3370091560 Buyers Products couplers from stock and and measured the…
I would just like to Thank You for such quick and efficient service. It's a nice change from what we have been experiencing here in the New Orleans area. Again, Thank You so very much.
Keep your trailer's emergency braking ready with a breakaway kit for electric brakes, including setups using an electric-over-hydraulic actuator. Match the battery and charger to your needs—options include 5Ah batteries that have powered EOH systems—and choose hardware suited to single- or tandem-axle trailers for the right fit.
Yes, kits are offered for single or tandem axle trailers. Pick a kit with a battery and charger sized for your brake setup. If you're adding more brakes than before, verify the kit's capacity and switch placement so the lanyard reaches cleanly to your tow vehicle.
Yes, you can add a solar battery charger to keep the breakaway battery topped off. Many kits include a trickle charger that works only when plugged into the vehicle, so solar helps when parked. Match the solar charger to the battery type and mount it near the box.
If your kit has a push-to-test display, the green light labeled fully charged lights up when the battery is topped off. Make sure your trailer is connected to the tow vehicle so the charger can work. If the indicator doesn't match what you expect, recheck grounds and connections.
If the cover won't open, the hinge may not be fully seated—pop the hinge back onto the posts and try again. For wiring, verify the diagram with the correct manual for your specific battery and switch; we've seen diagrams that didn't match the components. Take a moment to cross-check before crimping.
Yes, a 5Ah breakaway battery can provide enough power to actuate an electric-over-hydraulic system. Confirm your actuator's draw and match it to the battery capacity you choose. If you upgraded brakes or added axles, double-check overall system needs before finalizing the kit.
