• Recommended Drum to Disc Brake Kit for a 3500 lb Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
  Mark, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DKG appears to be what you're looking for but you're going to need to verify which bearings your trailer uses right now to make sure it's compatible. The bearings, actuator # DX29FR and brake lines # 18TA-BLKIT would need to be added separately as well.

• What Surge Brake Actuator do I Need for My 2009 Ranger Boat Trailer Replacing UFP A-60?
  Hey Mickey, We definitely have an surge brake actuator that is going to work for you. I do not have a database that supplies me with what is put on what trailer, in my research I found that most 2009 Rangers have the TDE LP75 which makes sense because that is what I have on my 2004 Ranger Comanche. I am showing that you have a 3 x 5 trailer tongue, but just in case there is the 3 x 4 as well: - 3" x 5": Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX56FR - 3" x 4": Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator...

  Hello Jarrod, thanks for reaching out. The main difference between the Dexter # DX29FR and # DX89FR is how they attach to the trailer tongue. Each will fit a 3" wide tongue. The # DX29FR is designed to bolt onto the end of the tongue, whereas the # DX89FR is intended to sit on top of the tongue. Both use the same 3" bolt spacing, you will just want to pick whichever one installs the same as your current actuator. I have included a few pictures with examples below. I hope this helps, and...

• What Brake Actuator will Replace My Dexter Model LP75 Disc Brake Surge Actuator?
  Hello Chris, Yes, it would be quite difficult to find a replacement master cylinder for your Dexter model LP75. The brake actuator was actually a Tie Down Engineering part that Dexter took over as Tie Down Engineering is no longer in business but from what I can tell is no longer made, sometimes you can find somewhere with some old stock. For a replacement I would go with the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX29FR. It is rated at 7,500 pounds, electric reverse lockout lets you back...

• Troubleshooting Reverse Lockout Solenoid Not Working on Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator
  There are only 3 real possibilities for your lockout failing to work properly on the # DX29FR. The first would be the power. Since it sounds like you are getting 12V power to the solenoid it doesn't sound like this is the issue. The second would be the ground. Make sure your ground connection is secure on a clean, bare-metal surface. Also, the wires are interchangeable so it doesn't matter which is the power and which is the ground. If these both check out it is likely a bad solenoid valve....
