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!!!



by:

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:

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:

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!

One year later - my only regret is not doing the Kodiak install sooner!



by:

The staff at etrailer is very knowledgeable and helped me get the right trailer parts I needed and within the time frame I needed it. Highly recommend etrailer and absolutely will use again



by:

Item was a perfect fit and worked great! I would recommend buying from etrailer.



by:

The customer service level is outstanding I hope everything is appreciated by etrailer as much as I am he's very diligent and help me find the right parts I comend him for his dedication



by:

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



by:

I paid a $105 for overnight it was not done I want some of my shipping back,, On top of it you didn't even send me a tracking number on the order piss poor Information.....

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:

Perfect fit for my trailer and work great. Thanks eTrailer!



by:

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!

The disc brake system i installed on my boat trailer is still working great. I have not had any issues with the new pads and calipers. Thank you for the excellent service.



by:

Arrived on time, and I was surprised it came with the lads and mount bolts. I’ll be installing it tomorrow.



by:

Perfect replacement. And thanks for the quick shipping.



by:

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:

AS described got here in 3 days. Went on easily. all parts in the box. Slides moved freely tested and worked great.

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



by:

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:

Stacy A was very helpful. Extremely knowledgeable
Great service
Thank you



by:

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.



by:

I ordered new Kodiak 225 caliper to replace the frozen one on my boat trailer, which I use in Puget sound area. The part came as advertised, quick delivery no hassel no problems. I upgraded to a more salt resistant caliper. Use stainless if you can afford it

Etrailer service outstanding



by:

The caliper arrived later in the day but I managed to install it and get a guy to help me bleed the lines before he went home.
Kodiak brakes are the best. I have noticed pad separation in the last pair of pads I had to replace; but I believe that is from the heat from the stuck caliper.

  • Replacement Parts for Wheels and Disc Brakes Getting Too Hot on Boat Trailer
    A stuck caliper will absolutely cause the brakes/hubs to heat up like you described as it's going to be constantly engaged during travel even when you aren't hitting the brakes. This is the most likely cause of the excessive heat so it's definitely where I recommend starting. We do have a large selection of replacement caliper parts available such as the Kodiak # KDBC225DAC, which I have linked below, however I'm unable to track down the exact brand or capacity for the rotors used on...

  • Will Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Work With Trailer Surge Brake System
    The 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.

  • Replacement Caliper and Bracket for the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit item # K2R35D
    Yes 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.

  • Are Kodiak 225 Brake Pads Interchangeable With the Kodiak 204 Brake Calipers?
    According to Kodiak the 225 and 204 calipers and pads are not interchangeable. As they have discontinued the 204 calipers you will want to upgrade to the 225 Caliper # KDBC225DAC. This particular caliper is Dacromet coated for corrosion resistance. We also have a Stainless # KDBC225S if you will be using around salt water. These will use either the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads # K225CP and we also have them in Stainless # K225CPSS for better corrosion resistance as well to match with the...

  • Replacement Disc Brake Calipers For Boat Trailer With Surge Brakes
    The caliper itself will typically have information stamped on the casing for the cylinder(see image). Here are some examples of what is stamped on the calipers we carry along with finish on that caliper.

  • What Axle Capacities Does the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225SBE Fit
    The Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC that you referenced is designed to be a replacement for both the 2k and 3.5k capacity disc brake kits. So in this case there would be no difference.

  • Can Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC Be Used on Either Side of Trailer
    You 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.

  • Bolts and Bracket for the Tie Down Caliper to Kodiak Caliper
    The 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.

  • How to Find Correct Replacement Braking Assemblies for a 1989 EZ Loader Trailer
    The 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....

  • Replacement Calipers for Kodiak 225 Calipers on 3500-lbs Axles
    Yes. You could use the discontinued Titan 225CAL, if you can find them, to replace your Kodiak 225 calipers, but we do have the direct Kodiak replacement calipers available with part # KDBC225DAC that I recommend going with.

  • What Rotor Sizes Does Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Fit
    The Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper - Dacromet - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # KDBC225DAC is only designed to fit 10" or 12" rotors, and it looks like the Tie Down 46304 may be for 9.6" rotors, so the fit may be off due to that. There isn't any type of new mounting bracket available, and the best option we have is for you to get a new hub and rotor assembly, as we don't carry Tie Down parts and this may not be an exact fit otherwise. For that you need to know the weight rating of your axle, your...

  • Correct Replacement Bleeder Valve for Kodiak DBC-225 Disc Brake Calipers
    Yes, the correct Replacement Bleed Port for Kodiak 225 Disc Brake Calipers, like # KDBC225DAC is part # KBPBB, which has the correct 1/4"-28 bleed screw and 1/8" adapter fitting. Just in case, the correct replacement silicone dust boot is part # K225BSSI and the replacement adapter port is part # K22590A.

  • Replacement Parts Available for Kodiak Disc Brake Kit K2R35D
    Yes, replacement parts are available for Kodiak disc brake kit # K2R35D. For calipers you can use # KDBC225DAC for dacromet or # KDBC225S for stainless steel. Both come in quantities of 1 and are for 3,500 to 6,000 pound axle Kodiak disc brake kits. For brake pads you can use # K225CP for Kodiak disc brake kits for 3,500 to 6,000 pound axles. There is also a rebuild kit, # KDBC225KIT. For a rotor (this kit has rotors that fit over idler hubs) you can use # KR10D for dacromet or # KR10S...

    It 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...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Disc Brakes that Won't Activate Although Actuator Moves Fluid
    First 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...

  • How to Determine Right Hand and Left Hand Brake For Disc Brake Caliper Installation
    Yes, 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. .

    To replace the calipers on your boat trailer you will need to know the weight capacity for the axle that is on the boat trailer and the brand of the calipers. A very common brand is the Kodiak calipers, typically they will have 225 stamped on the caliper as well like the # KDBC225DAC. This system would work on axles that range from 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs.
