Question

Question:

TruRyde Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10inch - Left and Right Hand - 3,500 lbs Item # TRU36FR I am looking at changing out the brakes this year on my trailer. I just needed to make sure that these are going to be a direct replacement for my unit. A 2017 Winnebago Minnie 2500RL I originally was thinking just pads but how would I know if magnet needs to be done too? Trailer gets around 5000 miles per year Thanks

Expert Reply:

You do have the correct electric brakes for your 2017 Winnebago Minnie 2500RL with the TruRyde Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand - 3,500 lbs # TRU36FR.

The magnet would be an issue if you see their windings beginning to show through the friction surface of the magnet, but in general if the brakes are still functioning then the magnet is fine. The # TRU36FR come with magnets so you wouldn't have to replace those separately; the only other thing you need is the Mounting Bolts and Hardware for 10" Brake Assemblies # BRKH10A.

Hello Mark, thanks for the picture. What you have there is a Lippert 3,500 lb axle and yes, the TruRyde Electric Trailer Brakes #TRU36FR are exactly correct for your 2019 Cherokee Grey Wolf 26dbh. The 3,500 lb axles all use the same standard 10"…

Hey Brian, if you grab the magnet and move it in the direction of the arm that it is attached to far enough it will click and it will adjust the star wheel tighter. This will be the easiest way to move the shoes out. Or you can install them and then…

Hey Gerald, this is a great question but basically the Lippert 4,400 lb axle just uses the same bearings as the 3,500 lb axles. The bearings themselves aren't actually rated for weight and instead we just organize them based on what axle…

This could be a magnet wiring problem. It is unlikely that the magnets are bad on newer assemblies, but if the wiring is not properly connected, it could cause problems. Check to see that the magnets are properly grounded to a clean, bare metal…

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…
