Hey Tom, for the Dexter actuator part # K71-651 the response time is within a second or two according to Dexter. The reservoir size is 40 cubic inches. The amperage draw is up to 30 amps.

The Brake Rite # DX82KR has a 30 cubic inch reservoir capacity and also draws 30 amps. Are you looking for the best actuator to replace what you have?

Hey Tom, did the response time and specs for the Dexter actuator give you what you needed to compare it with the Brake Rite unit? Knowing which one worked better for your setup could help others choosing between the two.
