Kit to Convert 7k Axles of 2024 Brinkley Z3100 to Electric Over Hydraulic Disc

Question

Question:

Good afternoon. I would like to upgrade the brakes on my fifth wheel rig. I have a 2024 Brinkley Z3100. The axles are 7000 lb Curt Axles. Serial S010531153 is the rear axle. Will the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers - 13 Hub/Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - 7K Part Number: DE66AR fit my rig?

Hey Gary, thanks for all of the info you listed on your 2024 Brinkley Z3100. Based on seeing all of that yes the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit part # DE66AR would be what you'd need to upgrade the trailer to disc brakes and it comes with all of the components you'd need.

Do you have a brake controller that has a hydraulic setting?

Not sure. I have a 2021 F350 w/ 6.7L diesel and tow package

@Gary Is it the integrated brake controller of the Ford truck? If so, yes the controller does have a hydraulic mode so you're good in that regard.

Hi Jameson, I like the DeeMax disc brakes - I need a disc brake that I can connect a handbrake cable to each of the front brake discs. Does the DeeMax or any other have that ability. Thanks Neville

@Neville Are you wanting the hand brake as like an E-brake? I wish we had an option for your axle but we only have them right now for 3.5k and 6k rated axles.

Hey Ken, great question, and nice camper! The short answer is no you don’t rewire the Lippert ABS to work with the DeeMaxx kit, you essentially bypass it. Your Brinkley’s Lippert ABS controller is built for electric drum brakes, meaning it’s watching…

Hey Dwyane yes that is necessary unfortunately. We do have disc brake kits like the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit #DE68YR which will work with 7,000 lb axles that uses specific bearings. The last couple of things you'd need is a brake line kit…

Hey James, we can help but we don't have the complete kit you are looking for as a single part number. For the slip on rotor brake kit you'd want the part #DE49YR. You'd need two of these since you have a tandem axle trailer. Then for the…

I spoke with my contact at HydraStar and he said that the #HBA-CAM adapter will not work with your older HydraStar actuator as you have noted. Unfortunately there are no older 381-7063 adapters like what you need but we do have alternative solutions…

Answer 11

Can you feel the brakes dragging when you are towing? It's very common for disc brakes to get hot to the touch from regular use. They create quite a bit of friction which then creates heat. That said you can pretty easily convert the system to an…
