When you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs and momentum pushes your trailer toward the rear of your vehicle. With surge brake systems, the actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward while the tow vehicle slows. The actuator telescopes, applying force to its master cylinder, which in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage the trailer's brakes.

Pros.
Works great really noticed the difference right away.
Ed W. with etrailer was great to work with helped determine which one to get.
It was a fairly simple install.
Con.
The reverse lockout was further away than my original, just a little, so my brake line was too short.
Auto parts places didn't have a flex that fit the thread. I was doing this on a Sunday so I had to drive across town to a trailer guy who was open for a flex line.
I would give it 4.7 stars if I could would of gave a 5 star had they included a short flex line with the kit.
It's about a 2 hour job with everything you need I spent an extra 2+hours getting a part.
All in all been using for a year and I am completely satisfied.

The product is as expected and an exact replacement for my trailer. The exceptional part of the transaction was the speed my order was filled and shipped.

Ordered brake actuator from Etrailer after several attempts from EZTrailee with no response. Wished I had checked out Etrailer sooner. Received notification at each billing, shipping.
It was easy to find the parts got fast shipping with working brakes now, can enjoy the boat again. This is the third trailer you helped me repair with correct parts, fast shipping
Many thanks guys

Very sturdy material and well made. Works as designed and the electrical lock out for disc brakes is very useful.
Manual lock out lever key could be magnetized to avoid falling off.

Wow, my order showed up within days and I’m very impressed. I have not installed the coupler yet but looks like a quality product. Thank you!

E trailer is the best. I have bought dozens of items from them an it was always a great experience. Customer service is the best.
by: Paul08/19/2022
The product came unboxed, missing instructions and no spare break away clips. I purchased a new actuator and got one that was laying around.
by: Edward 08/12/2022
The manual lockout device, supplied with the actuator, requires a second person to hold it in place when backing. It will not stay in place on its own.
by: Devon08/27/2020
This product doesn’t fit over 3” tongue. Its the exact same size as a 3” tongue.Unusable. Had to remove the internal portion and modify my trailer tongue to fit. Arrived as the worst packaged item I’ve ever received. It was barely still in the box. Whom ever packaged this didn’t have a clue what they were doing.

- What Is The Recommended Tongue Size For The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator DX89FRHello James. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR is designed to work with a 3" wide trailer tongue.
view full answer... - Difference Between Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuators For Disc BrakesThat's a really good question, and there is a difference between the 7,500 lb Dexter DX7.5L A-60 actuators for disc brakes; the differences are both in what they fit, as well as their length. - 14" Long & Top-Mounted For 3" Wide Trailer Tongue: Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX89FR - 19" Long & Bolts To 3" x 4" Trailer Tongue: Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX29FR - 19" Long & Bolts To 3" x 5" Trailer Tongue: Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX56FR Apart from that, these...
view full answer... - Replacement Coupler for 2007 Mastercraft X15 Boat TrailerThe Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator part # DX89FR for disc or part # DX33FR for drum will work to replace the surge coupler of your Mastercraft boat trailer. I looked up your trailer and was not able to determine if it had disc or drum brakes which is why I listed both options.
view full answer... - Replacement Actuator for EZ Loader Tandem Axle Trailer With Disc BrakesIt sounds like you have a UFP A-60 brake actuator on your EZ Loader trailer. The # T43397007K is designed for drum brakes so this would not be a suitable replacement. Instead, I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On - Disc - 2" Ball - Zinc - 7.5K # DX89FR. This is a direct replacement for a UFP Model A-60 actuator like the one you have now.
view full answer... - Replacement for ACT-7.5K Actuator on Mastercraft Boat TrailerFor a replacement option I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR. Any swing-away actuators like your ACT-7.5K have been discontinued so this is the best solution. This has a 7,500 lb trailer capacity, is designed for trailers with disc brakes, and is a bolt on replacement. More than likely you will also need a replacement swing away tongue adapter like the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 4" Tongue # FHDPB340301 which fits 3" x 4" diameter...
view full answer... - Replacement For A Reliable ACT 7.5 KS Brake ActuatorAt this time we do not carry a compatible inner member for your Reliable ACT 7.5 KS actuator so I recommend replacing it with the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR. This hydraulic actuator activates trailer's brakes when tow vehicle slows or stops and electric reverse lockout lets you back up without actuating trailer brakes.

- Replacement Surge Brake Actuator For Tie Down Engineering LP 7000 ActuatorWe have the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX29FR for disc brakes and the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX27FR for drum brakes that will be a better option. These will have similar bolt patterns as your Tie Down Engineering LP7000 actuator. These are designed to fit a 3" wide by 4" tall trailer tongue. If you have a different size trailer tongue please let me know so I can recommend a better option. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout...
view full answer... - Could Dexter Surge Actuator # DX89FR Replace Tie Down LP 7000The Dexter DX 7.5 actuator part # DX89FR that you referenced is a very similar design to the Tie Down LP 7000 that you referenced. This would be a great replacement solution that may not bolt up exactly the same but would still work great.
view full answer... - Does The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout Have A Manual Lockout Option The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR unfortunately doesn't have a manual lockout option so you wouldn't be able to reverse without activating the brakes on the trailer. To solve this issue you can either install 5-pole wiring on each tow vehicle to connect to the electric lockout or you can swap out the brakes on the trailer to free-backing brake assemblies. If you didn't hook up the electric lockout solenoid then you wouldn't be able to reverse with the trailer...
view full answer... - Replacement Actuator for a Model ACT-7.5KWhile we do not carry replacement parts for the Model ACT-7.5K actuator, I can recommend a replacement actuator. It's the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout, part # DX89FR. It has a 2" ball coupler and designed for hydraulic disc brakes. The electric reverse lockout lets you back up without actuating the trailer brakes. It's low-profile and corrosion-resistant. I've linked to a video review of this actuator for you to look at.
view full answer... - Can Inner Slide Member be Replaced on UFP A-60 Actuator to Upgrade from Drum to Disc Brakes I do have an option for you but we wouldn't be able to provide a new inner slide member for the UFP A-60 Brake Actuator to convert this from drum to disc, it would need to be replaced in its entirely as it's simply too old. I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator part # DX89FR which will be a great fairly bolt-on swap for your existing actuator and it's rated for disc brakes so it allows you to upgrade for better stopping power.
view full answer... - 2015 Ranger Boats z520c Replacement Coupler/ActuatorI don't know what the exact replacement you'd need for your Ranger trailer is but the Dexter DX7.7L part # DX89FR would work great for you either way so it would be the solution I would recommend. It has plenty of capacity, is a more reliable design than some options, is disc brake compatible and would install easy.
view full answer... - Replacing Titan Surge Brake Actuator T4750600 With Dexter DX7.5 ActuatorWith the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator w/ Drop # T4750600 having the 5-Hole Standard bolt pattern you will need to drill new holes for either the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR or Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator # 099-175-20. Be sure to not exceed the 7,500LB capacity of these actuators. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR will have a similar profile but the ball does not have the drop like your current actuator. The...
view full answer... - How Many Bolt Holes Should Dexter Coupler Actuator DX89FR Use to InstallIf you don't mind drilling Jeremy I would recommend using all three mounting holes of the Dexter Actuator part # DX89FR or if you know a welder just have them weld it to the trailer. If you were going to only use two though use whichever two line up best with the coupler slid as far onto the trailer frame as possible if that makes sense. That would put the least amount of leverage on the coupler.
view full answer... - What Type of Brake Fluid to Use in Dexter Surge Actuator # DX89FRDOT5 brake fluid is what you'd want to use in the Dexter surge actuator part # DX89FR. If the breakaway pin was pulled it would be replaceable. The breakaway cable is replaceable.
view full answer... - Replacement Solution for UFP A-60 Breakaway Key and CableThe Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator part # DX89FR for disc or part # DX33FR for drum will work to replace both a UFP A-60 or A-75 Brake Actuator since we don't carry the UFP replacement breakaway setup. The A-60 is rated for 6K and the A-75 is rated for 7.5K. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator is rated for 7.5K. Now if you needed just the key we can help with that with part # DX94FR and then for just a cable part # FA80-01-2160.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Actuator for Tie Down Engineering LP7000In terms of capability the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On - Disc - 2" Ball - Zinc - 7.5K # DX89FR is a good replacement option. The problem is the design of your old TDE LP7000 which was installed inside the tongue of the trailer. The # DX89FR and others like it fit standard 3" wide trailer tongues. The actual inside dimension will be 3-1/8" to be able to go over the 3" tongue. With that 3-3/8" measurement you will not be able to fit a replacement actuator...

- Picking Out Replacement Actuator for UFP A-60The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator part # DX89FR for disc or part # DX33FR for drum will work to replace both a UFP A-60 or A-75 Brake Actuator. The A-60 is rated for 6K and the A-75 is rated for 7.5K. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator is rated for 7.5K.
view full answer... - How to Replace Tie Down Engineering LP7000 ActuatorI'm guessing it is approximately 3-3/8" across if you measured it. Unfortunately there are no options that will slide in because it won't line up correctly, and everything is designed to fit a 3" tongue so it is too wide to mount an actuator on top. Although it is not ideal, the only solution is to cut that off and replace the tongue with a standard 3" trailer tongue. Once you have a 3" wide trailer tongue you will be able to install an actuator like the # DX89FR you were looking at.

- Is Dexter Zinc-Plated, Leverlock Coupler Available in a 7K Weight RatingTo get the Dexter Zinc-Plated, Leverlock Coupler # T4845000 in a higher weight rating you'll need to bump up to a hydraulic actuator like what we see with part # DX89FR which has a 7.5K weight rating. For an alternative standard coupler solution I recommend checking out the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM13689-95 which uses an eZ-Latch, is rated for 10K lbs, and bolts onto your trailer frame. This coupler is also Made in the USA and is backed by a 1-year limited warranty so as...

- Can Dexter Brake Actuator # DX89FR be Used with Tandem Axle Disc BrakesThe Dexter brake actuator part # DX89FR that you referenced can be used with tandem axle disc brake trailers.
view full answer... - Tie Down LP7000 Brake Actuator ReplacementI do have an option for you but we don't offer any direct bolt-on swap options for the Tie Down Engineering LP7000 Actuator due to the age. That said, we do have plenty of great replacement options like the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator part # DX89FR but you'd have to drill a few new holes in the trailer. This actuator has a low profile design, is compatible with a 2" hitch ball, and is designed for disc brakes.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Actuator for Reliable ACT 7.5kWe don't have any replacement parts available to fix your Reliable ACT 7.5k actuator but if you've got drum brakes you can use the Titan Brake Actuator with Manual Lockout - Bolt On - Drum - 2" Ball - 7,500 lbs Item # T63FR which comes with a manual lockout. If you've got disc brakes you can use the Dexter # DX89FR. These would be the two best options available for you to replace your old actuator. I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at, as well.
