Question:
I have 7000 lb tandem axles w/ elec drum brakes. Thinking of converting to disc. Is the hydrastar brakes and actuator equal, or better in quality to the kodiak disc brakes. Does the hydrastar work w/ my 2023 f350 brake controller or is some interface required?

Expert Reply:
I feel the Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit # HSE7K-T1 is of similar quality to the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD66FR. If you are looking for the best brakes I prefer the DeeMaxx Disc Brakes # DE88YR. These rotors have additional venting and the calipers have a stainless steel construction to resist corrosion which often leads to the caliper failing and needing replaced. If you choose to go with the DeeMaxx or Kodiak you can get a Actuator # HS381-8067 and Brake Line Kit # HS496-252 separately.
You should not need the Module # HBA-CAM for your factory controller on your 2023 Ford F-350. The only issue with this style controller is the manufacturer can send updates to the controller so while it might work fine, one day it could receive an update and no longer work correctly. I would keep this information in mind if something does cause it to act up in the future.
