Question:

I had a trailer with 2- 5200 # axles, and after a 500 mile trip the fluid had leaked out and was dry , I re filled and fixed the fitting leak , and re bleed the brakes , they work fine , did I do any damage to the actuator , # TQA29933 thanks

I spoke with my contact at Dexter and when I explained to him your situation he said you are totally fine.

He said that the actuators will be totally fine if they were temporarily ran dry.
