Trailer Axle Replacement Video

Hey Frank, welcome back! The blue wire on the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 item #DX29FR connects to the reverse light circuit of your trailer's wiring harness. The white is the ground wire. What kind of trailer do you have?

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…

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…

Thank you for all the information; you seem to know the measurements you need, which are hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center. The closest axle we have to the measurements you gave is the Dexter #20545I-ST-72-15, which measures…

The electric lockout on the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator #DX89FR works through a 5-way connection on your trailer and vehicle. This is the same as a 4-way but with the additional reverse lockout for the 5th function that is tied to your reverse…
