Etrailer is terrific to find and order parts. Hard to find they have them many times or can get them. Quick shipping and when you call you actually speak to a person not a stupid automated answering machine. Very easy to work with have ordered many things with them.



by:

Bolted right up in place of the old Tie Down brake system, 46304.



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:

Product works. Delivery was delayed 2x and 25 days later, all 4 arrived. Customer support was great and unlikely an issue with etrailer, but rather the manufacturer.



by:

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:

These calipers were a perfect replacement for my original discontinued Atwood CL calipers. The pads and piston seal look like they’re excellent quality. Thanks to e-trailer for their tech support and easy to order process. Communication from them while product was being shipped to Canada was appreciated as well. Thanks again!



by:

These replaced original TDE 46304 on boat trailer I’m refurbishing. Fit and ops check good so far on a 45 MPH test drive.



by:

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



by:

The staff at etrailer is very knowledgeable and helped me get the right trailer parts I needed and within the time frame I needed it. Highly recommend etrailer and absolutely will use again



by:

Item was a perfect fit and worked great! I would recommend buying from etrailer.



by:

The calibers are great. Easy to install and fit perfectly



by:

Perfect fit!



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:

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!

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.



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:

Perfect fit for my trailer and work great. Thanks eTrailer!



by:

They look and work great



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.



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.

  • Replacement Disc Brake Caliper for a Tie Down Engineering 46304 Caliper
    The DeeMaxx item # DE86VR won't because of the spacing on the mounting bracket but I have a caliper that will. To replace your Tie Down Engineering 46304 caliper you will need the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper item # KDBC225DAC.

  • Recommended Replacement Caliper For A Kodiak 225
    We do sell the caliper but it will come with pads included. I have three options for you listed below depending on your trailer's application: Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper - Dacromet - 3,500lbs to 6,000lbs # KDBC225DAC. - Dacromet plating provides excellent corrosion resistance for freshwater or saltwater use with a 300- to 400-Hour salt-spray rating. Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper - KodaGuard - 3,500lbs to 6,000lbs # KDBC225KG. - KodaGuard plating provides excellent corrosion resistance for...

  • Replacement Caliper Solution for Tie Down Engineering 46304
    Hey Robert, yes the Kodiak disc brake calipers part # KDBC225DAC that you referenced will replace the Tie Down calipers you have now 46304, they can be used as a left or right hand caliper and does come with ceramic brake pads. If you ever needed replacement pads you'd need part # K225CP.

  • Need To Replace Titan 225 Caliper From Titan 4843100 Disc Brake Kit
    Good morning, James. The Titan 4843100 disc brake kit uses the Titan 225 Calipers. The correct replacement for this is the Dexter calipers # K71-773-02 for passenger side and # K71-773-01 for drivers side. The Dexter Disc Brake Assembly # T10HREKITBB also contains a replacement for this. This does come with a caliper, brake pads, hub/rotor, bearings and bracket.

  • Replacement Brake Calipers for Dexter 10" Brakes
    We do have the Replacement Caliper for Dexter 10" Brakes # K71-773-01 which is a direct replacement for your Dexter K71-773-01 calipers you have currently if you're just looking for those. If not, the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC will also work since Kodiak is owned by Dexter and these calipers are also for 10" brakes, rated for 3.5K to 6K axles.

  • Solution for Replacement Brake Pads for TDE 46304 Caliper
    Hi again David; since TDE is no longer around replacement brake pads are not available for the 46304. However, to avoid complete replacement we have found that the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC will work as a replacement for the 46304. If you need replacement brake pads in the future these use the # K225CP.

  • Can The DeeMaxx # DE86VR Replace Tie Down Engineering 46034 Brake Caliper
    Hey David, I've seen reviews of the DeeMaxx # DE86VR fitting, but also others that stated that it won't fit the same mounting hole spacing. We personally haven't had the chance to test this fit out to confirm it yet so I'm more confident in the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC since we've had numerous accounts of it being a fit for the Tie Down Engineering 46034 Brake Caliper.

  • What Axle Capacities Does the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225SBE Fit
    The Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC that you referenced is designed to be a replacement for both the 2k and 3.5k capacity disc brake kits. So in this case there would be no difference.

  • Solution for Needing Replacement UFP 3,500 lb Axle Calipers
    Best option we have will be an all new hub/rotor setup that comes with matching calipers to replace your DB-35 UFP since we do not carry the UFP brand and other brand calipers won't fit. For a replacement Kodiak Brake Kit, the part # K2HR35D should be the correct assemblies. This kit includes 2 Dacromet-plated, 10 inch hub-and-rotor assemblies, calipers, and mounting brackets. They are designed for 3,500 axles like what you have and will perform the best.

  • Replacement Parts Available for Kodiak Disc Brake Kit K2R35D
    Yes, replacement parts are available for Kodiak disc brake kit # K2R35D. For calipers you can use # KDBC225DAC for dacromet or # KDBC225S for stainless steel. Both come in quantities of 1 and are for 3,500 to 6,000 pound axle Kodiak disc brake kits. For brake pads you can use # K225CP for Kodiak disc brake kits for 3,500 to 6,000 pound axles. There is also a rebuild kit, # KDBC225KIT. For a rotor (this kit has rotors that fit over idler hubs) you can use # KR10D for dacromet or # KR10S...

  • Recommended Replacement for Reliable CL 1000 Calibers
    I have a solution for you, however, we do not carry a direct replacement for Reliable brake components. I recommend one of the Kodiak disc Brake Kits, like # K2HR526D. This kit includes 2- 12" brake rotors with 6 on 5-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern and 5 bolt brake flanges for 5,200 to 6,000 lbs axles. This disc brake kit will work with 14-1/2,15, and 16 inch wheels. Checking the wheel bearing numbers will confirm which kit will work with your axle spindles. This kit uses # 25580 for the...

  • Replacement Caliper and Bracket for the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit item # K2R35D
    Yes we do. The calipers and brackets for the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit item # K2R35D can be purchased separately. The caliper is item # KDBC225DAC and the brackets are item # KCMB10RD. I have linked a diagram of the bracket for the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit item # K2R35D along with an installation video. We do not have one with a 2-3/8" top to bottom hole spacing or 3-1/8" side to side.

  • Replacement Caliper for Kodiak Disc Brakes With 10 Inch Rotor
    It sounds like you are looking for a replacement caliper for your Kodiak Disc brakes with a 10" rotor like the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35S. Depending on the finish you need we have a few different options available for replacement calipers. For dacromet you need the # KDBC225DAC. For KodaGuard you need the # KDBC225KG. The last option is for stainless steel which would be the # KDBC225S. All of these are designed to fit 10" rotors with axle ratings from 3,500-6,000 lbs. I have attached...

  • Will the Kodiak 225 Calipers Be a Direct Replacement for a TDE 46304 Caliper
    Jim yes, the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC will be a good replacement for your TDE 46304 calipers. These calipers are going to work with 10" or 12" rotors ,and 3,500 lbs - 6,000 lbs axles.

  • Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Replacement Parts
    The Kodiak 225 calipers # KDBC225S fit 3,500 lb 10 inch assemblies as well as 12 inch rotors up to 5,200 lbs. The 204 calipers fit 3,500 lb axles with 10 inch assemblies. The 225 calipers are more prominent than the 204 calipers but they are not directly interchangeable. I reached out to my contact at Dexter (who bought out Kodiak) and he said the mounting locations are slightly different and the piston size is different with the 204 model being roughly a 2 inch diameter piston and 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.

  • Replacement Calipers for TDE 46304 on 2012 Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
    From what we have found in the past, the TDE 46304 calipers are for 9.6", 10" or 12" rotors. Assuming you have the 10" or 12" rotors you can use the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC as a replacement. These have a Dacromet plating and include ceramic brake pads.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Why Were The Kodiak 204 Calipers and Pads Discontinued?
    I wish I had a good answer for you, but since Kodiak was bought out by Dexter it seems they discontinued the 204 caliper in favor of using the 225 calipers. They both worked on 3500lb axles but the 225 was also able to be used on larger axles up to 6000lbs. You can replace your 204 calipers with the 225 using mounting bracket # KCMB10RD if you have 3500lb axles, or # KCMB12D if you have 5200-6000lb axles. You will then need the new calipers # KDBC225DAC and pads # K225CP. I included videos...

  • Bolts and Bracket for the Tie Down Caliper to Kodiak Caliper
    The caliper bracket you are looking for is the Replacement Mounting Bracket # KCMB12D which is compatible with the 5 bolt mounting flange you have as well as the 225 Kodiak Dacromet calipers you have as well. Then for a bolt kit you'd want the # BRKH12 and you'd be set. This comes with enough bolts to attach to brackets.
