Jeff: Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com.Today, we're going to take a look at this Dexter Axle electric over hydraulic actuator adaptor module for Chevrolet and GM brake controllers. Now, this module lets you use your Dexter DX series or the Titan BrakeRite electric over hydraulic actuators with the factory GM or Chevy brake controller. This'll intercept the verification signals to prevent false error codes, and it can be mounted anywhere. It does splice into your BrakeRites actuator's wiring. Does include the two heat shrink splice connectors here to do that. Comes with a nice set of detailed instructions that'll describe how to do it.
And this part is made in the USA.But that should do it for the review on the Dexter Axle electric over hydraulic actuator adapter module for the Chevrolet and GM factory brake controllers.

This adapter module allows you to control your Dexter Axle BrakeRite (T4813100, T4813102, T482250, or T4835700) electric-over-hydraulic brake actuator with your factory Ford, GMC, or Chevy brake controller.I have a 2017 Redihaul 25' flatbed trailer with Brakerite E/H brakes & ford/chevy rectangle adapter.
This trailer worked fine on my 2013 Ford F350 but on my 2024 Ford F350 it would give error trailer disconnected every time I stepped on brake pedal even though the brakes were working. I replaced the ford/chevy adapter with this Dexter resister unit and I an no longer getting the annoying trailer disconnected error message. Guess the ford/chevy adapter is outdated for use on newer vehicles.
Did not fix the problem. This is a major issue that GM should be addressing. Most 3500 trucks will be pulling a large trailer with electric over hydraulic brakes. Even though this is a GM problem this part claims it corrects the problem and it did not so $[XX] bucks waisted. Not blaming Etrailer and the person we dealt with was fantastic but this is a review of the part not the company I purchased from.
Fixed the issue of my 2022 F-150 intermittently not recognizing my trailer which has a BrakeRite Electric Over Hydraulic brake system. Had towed the same trailer for over 10 years with 2013, 2015, and 2018 F-150s with no issues. However, my 2022 F-150 would initially recognize the trailer, but as soon as I manually applied the trailer brakes or pressed the brake pedal, it would throw a “Trailer Disconnected” message on the dash, and the integrated trailer brake function would not work. Every couple of minutes while driving, the truck would detect the trailer, then display the disconnected message again. Installing this adapter corrected the issue, and now the truck’s brake controller is happy with my trailer — and the brakes work as they should.
This fixed my problem with the hydraulic brakes not responding as they should. Very simple to wire up.
Worked as advertised. I’d say you need a lil bit of mechanical know how to complete the installation, but it wasn’t really that difficult.
This part fixed my IBC issue on my 2011 GMC 3500. So happy to finally have the brake working on my RV. Also very please to use my factory controller over hitting my knee on the aftermarket controller.
Works great. I just bought a used LQ horse trailer with Electric Over Hydraulic. The previous owner said my factory controller wouldn't work and that I would need an aftermarket controller. I new this was not true as I've used the headlight trick on a borrowed trailer before. This fix is a much better permanent solution than a headlight or brake magnet to simulate a draw.
I didn't mount as suggested. I mounted under the gooseneck next to the junction box and connected to the studs in this box.
Had issues with my 5th wheel disc brakes. Tech told me what to check. Ended up getting a new part. Great help and quick shipping.
It has done exactly what it was advertised to do. It allows my disk brakes to work as they should. Which, without this part they never worked.
etrailer came through!! I am headed on a trip soon and needed my hydraulic trailer breaks to work of course, and I was worried the adapter would not arrive in time. etrailer's fast shipping saved the day! Thanks etrailer!!!
I think we don’t know yet as we just received the controller today.We will write a review when we install. We have high hopes for this product after being let down from GMC truck just spending another hundred dollars on a 83k truck just to pull a trailer.

Great also contacted Riverstone and ask why we were allowed to leave dealership without brakes but that’s another story for new campers. Your product as all your products purchased so far are working well. Thank You for the follow up.
After installing a complete Shock & Brakerite Disc Brake conversion kit to my 2017 Silverado 3500HD, I encountered the infamous "Service Trailer Brakes" when connecting the RV. Intensive internet research led me to this device and I was down to the wire to complete the job for an upcoming trip! I placed me order and called. Paula immediately jumped on the order and had the part delivered the NEXT DAY even though I had paid for 2-day shipping! That's stellar customer service!! This part completely fixed the communication issues between the truck & RV and my trip was saved! THANK YOU PAULA!!!
No instructions and paid for overnight but took 2 days!

You are right and I have had the manual added to the product page. I also will have Customer Service contact you in regards to the shipping.
My Riverstone 5th wheel RV and my Silverado 3500 HD truck were not compatible with each other's braking system. I had spoken with the dealer that I purchased my RV from and a representative from the manufacturer and neither were able to tell me what I needed. One call to eTrailer.com was all I needed to have to get the right adapter. Next time I need a part they will be my first xall.
This part solved the issue of “trailer disconnected” on my factory installed brake controller in my 2022 F350. The product info is a bit vague and makes it seem like it’s only needed for older truck brake controllers but I called Dexter directly and they confirmed this part is needed for the modern super duty’s.
Your service was fantastic. The instructions included with the product were a little confusing to understand. I was ready to figure out a way to connect it to the 7 pin harness, when a fellow RV'r steered me to the hyd. pump.
Great product, easy to install.
Excellent customer service, wish they had a Canadian store!

Still works great.
Works like a champ. Thanks for figuring out the shortfall in manufacturering by General Motors and from what I understand, Ford. Brake system now does not cut off.
The only place to buy trailer parts
I just received the package today and haven't been able to install it yet, i will this afternoon. The delivery time was awesome, got it 3 days sooner than expected.
