These calipers were a perfect replacement for my original discontinued Atwood CL calipers. The pads and piston seal look like they’re excellent quality. Thanks to e-trailer for their tech support and easy to order process. Communication from them while product was being shipped to Canada was appreciated as well. Thanks again!
by: Michael08/22/2023
Once again etrailer came through for me! While performing brake and suspension maintenance on my 2019 Grand Design 337RLS I found one of my brake calipers was leaking fluid and the inside pad was virtually gone. Leaving for an extended trip in 4 days. etrailer got me a new caliper express shipped and after installing I have some breathing room before departure! Thank you again etrailer!!!

These replaced original TDE 46304 on boat trailer I’m refurbishing. Fit and ops check good so far on a 45 MPH test drive.
by: Ved09/06/2020
Perfect fit on my 2004 MasterCraft tandem axle trailer. Drop in replacement for the "Reliable" calipers that were on there.
Incredibly fast shipping, came loaded with pads and all the hardware needed to bolt them right up and bleed them. Couldnt be happier!

These are better than original. Installation for a triple axle trailer only took an hour not including running brake lines.

So, it looks like our customer service department has been made aware and is issuing a refund for the shipping. Im sorry to hear that it didnt arrive on time.
by: Bill T07/27/2017
This is actually the second time I purchased one of these calipers. The first time was about a month back when one froze on me due to water in the brake system. Of course this happened the day before I was going on vacation.
While very happy with the quality of the caliper it was the customer service that was most impressive. I called in a panic in the early afternoon to see if I could get the part overnight. The sales consultant went way beyond what he could have done and hand delivered my order to shipping department so it would get out yet that day.
My point here is that you can buy good parts anywhere on the web these days but the reason I came back and will keep coming back was the service I got (get) from eTrailer's employees. That extra effort allowed me to leave on time for vacation with my family.
Oh and yeah Kodiak makes good stuff. Everything installed well and is working great. Thank you!

Only place I could find the caliper. Was initially out of stock, but had prompt shipping once it came in. Staff was very helpful in keeping me informed about the product availability.
by: George 08/28/2023
Arrived on time, and I was surprised it came with the lads and mount bolts. I’ll be installing it tomorrow.

The calipers have been great and still working strong, very Pleased.

Boat trailer caliper was seized and causing the brakes to overheat. Headed over to etrailer.com since they seem to have the best part selection and easiest website to navigate.
I purchased a caliper that came with pads pre-installed (https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Kodiak/KDBC225DAC.html) and a rotor (https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Kodiak/KR12D.html).
Installation went smoothly. I'll be back for the other side when it's time.
Easy product search process. Easy order process. Fast delivery.
by: Peter 03/24/2023
Perfect replacement. And thanks for the quick shipping.
by: Brian04/19/2019
I bought these for my '05 Mastercraft (Reliable) trailer. They were a direct replacement for the originals. They came loaded with new pads and will fit either side. All the fittings were already installed and new mounting bolts were included which made installing them quick and easy. Great product at a great price.
by: Scott07/03/2018
I ordered Dakota 225 brake caliper. It worked as it should. The problem is that I had bought two calipers and two rotors 3 years ago from E trailer and installed them. They worked but on seized up (would not release from the rotor) and overheated. I had to place the overide pin in my surge actuator and drive tow the boat and trailer .
I would think the caliper would last more than three years with less than 25 trips to the lake.

Stacy A was very helpful. Extremely knowledgeable

- Troubleshooting Trailer Disc Brakes that Won't Activate Although Actuator Moves FluidFirst step I would try is bleeding the brakes. It sounds like you have an air bubble that needs to just be worked out of the lines and then the brakes should start working again. I attached a help article on bleeding trailer brakes too. First top off the master cylinder with appropriate fluid. Next you will want to pump the fluid from the master cylinder. You can do this by unbolting the plate that holds the lever in place and then use that lever to actuate the master cylinder and force...
view full answer... - Replacement Disc Brake Caliper for Reliable CL-1000The specs listed for the # KDBC225DAC Kodiak caliper I found online match up with those of the Reliable CL-1000. Either would be compatible with a 3500 to 6000 lb axle but because it hasn't been officially tested, If I were in your shoes I'd replace both calipers to ensure you're getting the exact same braking on each side for the sake of safety. We don't have a rebuild kit known to be compatible with the Reliable CL-1000 caliper.
view full answer... - Replacement Caliper and Bracket for the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit item # K2R35DYes we do. The calipers and brackets for the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit item # K2R35D can be purchased separately. The caliper is item # KDBC225DAC and the brackets are item # KCMB10RD. I have linked a diagram of the bracket for the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit item # K2R35D along with an installation video. We do not have one with a 2-3/8" top to bottom hole spacing or 3-1/8" side to side.

- Will Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Work With Trailer Surge Brake SystemThe Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC is designed to be used with a surge brake system so yes, it will work with your trailer setup. Just make sure that your axle is rated for 3,500 - 6,00 lbs,that your rotor diameter is 10" or 12", and that the caliper mounting flange bolt holes measure 5-3/4" on center where the caliper will be installed. Attached is a review video for you to check out.
view full answer... - Replacement Surge Brake Actuator and Calipers for 2001 Four Winns Boat TrailerThe direct replacement for your Titan Model 6 4079200 is the # T4079200. However, you have disc brakes on your trailer, not drum brakes. For a replacement designed for drum brakes you can use the # T4750820 which is the Model 10 and replaced the Titan 4750820. This has a 12,500 lb capacity and also fits a 3" channel. For replacement calipers you will need to know the axle capacity as well as the brand. For example, if you have 3,500 lb axles with Kodiak brakes you can use the # KDBC225DAC....
view full answer... - Can Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC Be Used on Either Side of TrailerYou can use the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC on either the left or right hand side. They are "ambidextrous" and do not have to be used on one side or the other.
view full answer... - Bleeding Trailer Brakes After Installing Kodiak 225 Disc Brake CalipersWhen you bleed the brakes on your trailer after installing the Kodiak Calipers # KDBC225DAC, you will want to start with the brake that is furthest away from the actuator. Of the two bleeder valves, you will want to use the bleeder valve that is on the top. If you are manually bleeding the brakes, it is easiest to use a clear jar to collect the brake fluid in so it is easier to see when there are no more bubbles in the fluid. Be sure to open the top bleeder valve when you are bleeding...

- Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Replacement PartsThe Kodiak 225 calipers # KDBC225S fit 3,500 lb 10 inch assemblies as well as 12 inch rotors up to 5,200 lbs. The 204 calipers fit 3,500 lb axles with 10 inch assemblies. The 225 calipers are more prominent than the 204 calipers but they are not directly interchangeable. I reached out to my contact at Dexter (who bought out Kodiak) and he said the mounting locations are slightly different and the piston size is different with the 204 model being roughly a 2 inch diameter piston and the...
view full answer... - Correct Replacement Brake Pads for Dexter 225 CalipersThe correct brake pads you'll need for the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper part # KDBC225DAC (225) which is made by Dexter is the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads part # K225CP. Please note, the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper is offered in a few different finishes so don't be alarmed if yours looks a bit different.
view full answer... - What Info Is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Brake Caliper for Trailer AxleBasically I would need to know the axle capacity and the brand of brake components to know what you would need. For example, the Kodiak part # KDBC225DAC is a Kodiak caliper for a 3,500 lb axle. Nearly all calipers will have their brand and part number on back of the caliper as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Caliper Recommendation for Mastercraft Trailer with Reliable CalipersFrom the research I did the Kodiak 225 calipers like the part # KDBC225DAC that you referenced are an exact replacement for the Mastercraft setup you currently have.
view full answer... - Bolts and Bracket for the Tie Down Caliper to Kodiak CaliperThe caliper bracket you are looking for is the Replacement Mounting Bracket # KCMB12D which is compatible with the 5 bolt mounting flange you have as well as the 225 Kodiak Dacromet calipers you have as well. Then for a bolt kit you'd want the # BRKH12 and you'd be set. This comes with enough bolts to attach to brackets.
view full answer... - How to Determine Right Hand and Left Hand Brake For Disc Brake Caliper InstallationYes, you would look at the trailer from the rear to determine right hand or left hand. The terms right hand and left hand come from right turn and left turn. The right hand brake is on the right side as if you were making a right turn. The Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper, # KDBC225DAC, can be used on either side. Kodiak designed the caliper so that there are multiple bleeder valves allowing you to switch them depending on which side you need the caliper on. .
view full answer... - Replacement Caliper for Kodiak Disc Brakes With 10 Inch RotorIt sounds like you are looking for a replacement caliper for your Kodiak Disc brakes with a 10" rotor like the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35S. Depending on the finish you need we have a few different options available for replacement calipers. For dacromet you need the # KDBC225DAC. For KodaGuard you need the # KDBC225KG. The last option is for stainless steel which would be the # KDBC225S. All of these are designed to fit 10" rotors with axle ratings from 3,500-6,000 lbs. I have attached...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Surface Rust on Trailer Brake RotorsTheoretically if you just have some surface rust on your rotors it would be knocked off after a drive that included a couple solid braking events. If you still notice rust on the rotors after towing the trailer then this could indeed be an indication that there's an issue with the brakes or simply that the rust you found is a bit deeper than surface level. If the rotors are badly rusted then your best option is just to replace them completely. I have attached a link that will take you...
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Calipers for EZ Loader TIAB 27-31I contacted EZ Loader and got some information on your trailers. They could narrow down that you have 12 inch rotors, but they could be from two different manufacturers, Kodiak or UFP. If you have Kodiak rotors, then Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper - Dacromet - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs, # KDBC225DAC, are the right replacement calipers. If they are the UFP, then I won't have the calipers you need if we stay with factory parts. If you do not have Kodiak and want to make the switch, I can help...
view full answer... - Replacement Caliper Solution for Tie Down Engineering 46304Hey Robert, yes the Kodiak disc brake calipers part # KDBC225DAC that you referenced will replace the Tie Down calipers you have now 46304, they can be used as a left or right hand caliper and does come with ceramic brake pads. If you ever needed replacement pads you'd need part # K225CP.

The difference between the three Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10" Hub/Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2" is the rotor finish. The differences are as follows: part # K2HR35D, has a Dacromet coated hub-rotor part # K2HR35DS, has a Dacomet and stainless steel coated hub-rotor part # K2HR35DDKG, has a Dacromet and KodaGuard coated hub-rotor.

view full answer... - Solution for Needing Replacement UFP 3,500 lb Axle CalipersBest option we have will be an all new hub/rotor setup that comes with matching calipers to replace your DB-35 UFP since we do not carry the UFP brand and other brand calipers won't fit. For a replacement Kodiak Brake Kit, the part # K2HR35D should be the correct assemblies. This kit includes 2 Dacromet-plated, 10 inch hub-and-rotor assemblies, calipers, and mounting brackets. They are designed for 3,500 axles like what you have and will perform the best.

- Replacement Disc Brake Caliper for a Tie Down Engineering 46304 CaliperThe DeeMaxx item # DE86VR won't because of the spacing on the mounting bracket but I have a caliper that will. To replace your Tie Down Engineering 46304 caliper you will need the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper item # KDBC225DAC.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Calipers for Dexter 10" BrakesWe do have the Replacement Caliper for Dexter 10" Brakes # K71-773-01 which is a direct replacement for your Dexter K71-773-01 calipers you have currently if you're just looking for those. If not, the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC will also work since Kodiak is owned by Dexter and these calipers are also for 10" brakes, rated for 3.5K to 6K axles.

To pick out the correct replacement rotors will require you to measure the diameter of the rotors you currently have and know the bolt pattern of the hubs as well. With that info you can check out the link I attached to see all of the over the hub rotors we offer. To pick out the correct replacement caliper will require you to know the brand of your current brakes so that I can pick you out the correct one....
view full answer... - How to Find Correct Replacement Braking Assemblies for a 1989 EZ Loader TrailerThe part number supplied looks like it's coming back to the Raybestos FRC11046 brake calipers which as you are aware are not available anymore. That being said, we don't have any replacement parts for these braking assembles as we've never carried their parts. It's typically much more cost effective to just replace the entire assembly, which is what I recommend doing. In order to find the correct braking assemblies, I am going to need a bit more information about what you're working with....
