Is Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Compatible w Integrated Brake Controller of 2015 Ram
Question:
I want to do a electric to hydraulic disc brake conversion on my 5th wheel trailer. I would like to use the Cargo Towing Solutions HydraStar brake actuator. My question is, is it compatible with my 2015 Dodge Ram 3500 built in brake actuator or do I need to get something like a Tekonsha Prodigy 3? Thanks,

The Cargo Towing Solutions HydraStar Electric-Hydraulic Actuator # HBA16 that you referenced would be an excellent choice for an actuator for your 5th wheel trailer.
According to Hydrastar your integrated brake controller you have in your 2015 Ram 3500 is compatible with this actuator without the use of an adapter.
