Question:
Do you have any tandem Dexter axle 8k Kodiak/Dexter hydraulic disc brake kits with the pump. Im assuming Dexter bought Kodiak and they are the same company now. I have a Kodiak/Titan system on my tandem 10K trailer now that is 12 years old and has held up great to very heavy loads. I dont think I would trust any other brand. Especially after seeing the review where a guy had all the studs break off.

Hey David,
Yes, Dexter acquired Kodiak back in 2018 and has rebranded a lot of their components. Are you looking for an electric-over-hydraulic actuator, like the Dexter BrakeRite # DX82KR, or are you wanting a surge brake actuator like the Dexter Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator w/ Electric Lockout # T4747220?
For the Kodiak disc brake assembly we offer kits with slip on rotors or hub/rotor and either 5/8" studs or 9/16" studs with an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. We'll also want to check your bearings and grease seal to ensure fitment. If the part numbers have worn off you can measure points B, C, and D with a caliper # PTW80157. Let me know what you have and I'd be happy to find the right fit.
