Question:
Dx82kr or K71-651-00? Dexter offers both of these EHD actuators. Is one better than the other? Trailer has Dexter tandem 12000 axles with disk brakes. Current k71-651-00 has failed.

Hey Dennis, I would actually avoid the Dexter actuators and instead go with the Hydrastar part # HBA16 as it's much more reliable and better performing. This is our installers favorite actuator.

Hey Dennis, how did the Hydrastar actuator end up working with your tandem 12K axles and disc brakes? Knowing how it performed could really help others comparing it to the Dexter options.
