Question:
Hello, I have a 2011 Ford F350 with the OEM integrated brake controller. Will the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic kit HS481-8067 kit operate properly without the Adaptor Module HBA-CAM 381-7073? Thanks, Brian

Expert Reply:
Hey Brian! According to Hydrastar, their actuators are compatible with the 2011 Ford OEM brake controller. Although the # HBA-CAM is included with this kit # HS481-8067 you do not need to install it for the system to work properly. Are you switching from electric brakes to electric over hydraulic on your trailer?
