Question:
I have a GDC80 actuator that needs replacing. It’s 8,000 gvwr rating, with a 2 5/16 ball. Do you have something comparable that would bolt up to the trailer using the same bolt pattern?
asked by: Scott V
Expert Reply:
Hey Scott, so nothing we have would for sure bolt right up in place of what you have now but I recommend using the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Disc # T4747200 (for disc brakes) or the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Drum # T4079200 (for drum brakes), which both have 8000-lbs capacities and fit 2-5/16" hitch balls, so they're the same specs as your GDC-80.
