Will DeeMaxx Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator Work with GMC 3500 Truck?
Updated 09/12/2025 | Published 08/29/2025 >
Question:
I pull my fifth wheel Momentum 395MS-R with a GMC 3500, will I need to get an aftermarket break controller if I convert my fifth wheel to disc breaks or will my truck break controller work?

Hey Keith!
The actuator that comes in the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Triple Axle Trailers Kit # DE26AR will not require an adapter to work with your GMC 3500 as there is already one built into it.
Are you looking to gain more power, or just an overall better performance for your trailer braking?
