10K Torsion Axle Compatibility With Disc Brakes
Question:
Need a new EOH activator for my trailer. Had a Hydrastar 1600 that just quite working after 2nd trip with new truck, wondering about compatibility issues. New truck pulling this trailer is Ram 2016 5500 with factory controller, Hydrastar was a 2007, should these play together or not. Never had an issue with older truck pulling this trailer with an aftermarket controller. We took a gold hydrastar of an older trailer we don't use and it keeps making this clicking noise and keeps the brakes on faintly still causing heat. What unit should I buy for this truck to eliminate these issues . Thanks in advance.

The disc brake kits like # K2R1058D13 are designed for torsion axles and disc brake rated EOH systems which have a higher 1600 psi level than drum brake actuators. This is currently the only kit we have compatible with 10K torsion axles from Lippert or Dexter.
