Recommended Replacement for the Dexter BrakeRite EOH Actuator

Question

Question:

My trailer uses a brakerite k68-001-02 brake actuator pump, can I replace it with k68-001-00 or your part number DX82KR, I understand that my original pump is a plug and play but i can splice in my own wires. From my research everything is the same except the wiring. Thanks

Hey Gregg, yes you can use the Dexter BrakeRite Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # DX82KR to replace your Replacement Dexter BrakeRite II SD Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator # DX36XR.

The only difference is like you already stated, the wiring. One being plug and play - what you have, and one being hardwired, # DX82KR.

If there is something else I can help you with, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

If your Titan BrakeRite #T4813102 is not building pressure you are going to want to start by ensuring the actuator is properly grounded to a 12 volt battery. Should that not be the cause, test the actuator using a voltmeter with the tow vehicle…

Hey Francis, you can email me back the picture of your actuator and I can verify what you have and if the Dexter #DX82KR will be exact replacement. If what you have says BrakeRite on it and you have disc brakes this will for sure be what you need.

Hey Sean, The most common cause of the BrakeRite #T4813102 not engaging the brakes when powered on is due to loose or incorrect wiring, or a bad or loose ground. I would recommend double checking all the wiring to make sure it is secure, and possibly…
