Switching to Electric Over Hydraulic Disc Brakes on a 2015 Landmark Key Largo 5th Wheel Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a 2015 Landmark key Largo fifth wheel with electric brakes. I want to change that to a hydraulic brake system. My axles are Dexter 7000 lbs D70 EZ-lube with leaf springs and 9/16 studs. From what I saw on Kodiak website, they have a kit 2/HRCM-133-7-9-DAC with dacromet coating but the kit you have on your website is E-coating part number K2HR79E. You dont carry the dacromet kit ? also I have a 2008 GM 3500 pickup with integrated brake control module so I guess I have to go with Carlisle actuator HBA16 and HBA-CAM module What others parts will I need to complete the job. Brake line ? bearings ? from what I read on your site, the Titan brake kit number T4830000 was Designed for use on trailers with 2 torsion axles. what about leaf axle like on my Landmark Thanks for you time

We do have the kit you are looking for, # K2HRCM1337-9DAC. In addition to the brakes themselves you will need the electric over hydraulic actuator that you mentioned, # HBA16, for disc brakes.

Since you have the integrated brake controller on your 2008 GMC/Chevy Sierra/Silverado 3500 you will need the adapter, # HBA-CAM. The only other part you will need is a breakaway kit if you do not already have one, # 50-85-313.

That takes care of the brakes and electrical/actuator parts. For brake lines you can use kit # T4830000. It is for tandem axle trailers or torsion axle trailers so it will work just fine on your tandem axle trailer.

We have the triple axle disc brake line kit part #T4830000 which would work well on your 29 foot long boat trailer. The main feed line of this is 19 feet which should be about the right length to get to your axles.

Answer 4

As long as your boat trailer has 3,500 lb axles the parts you mentioned would work great as the Hydrastar actuators like part #HS381-9067 are the most reliable and best performing, the Titan Premier part #T2HRCM10DAC is a solid setup that will do…
