• Replacement Brakes and Master Cylinder for 2007 Load Rite Tandem Cat Trailer
  To pick out the correct brake kit and rotors to fit your trailer we will first need to know a couple of important pieces of information. You will need to know your wheel bolt pattern on your trailer. I have attached a helpful article that explains how this is measured. Second, you will need to know what spindles you have on your trailer so that we can pick out the correct hub drums that will fit. To determine what spindles you have you will need to know either the numbers of the bearings...

• Is Brass Metering Adapter Needed w/Replacement Master Cylinder for Model 10/20 Disc Brakes
  The difference between a disc brake master cylinder and a drum brake master cylinder is a small check valve that is inside of a drum master cylinder but not present in a disc one. Disc brakes require more pressure than drum brakes so there is no check valve and the line should be connected directly to the back of the master cylinder. You should not need the adapter you have anymore.

• Is the Replacement Master Cylinder for Dexter Model 10 and 20 Actuators Made of Plastic or Metal
  The Replacement Master Cylinder for Dexter Model 10 and 20 Actuators part # T4747100 is cast, made of pot metal. The only part that's plastic is the cap, the body is metal. It should not rust so long as the outer body is protected with paint and the internals sealed off from water.

• Replacement Master Cylinder or Coupler for Old Rental Trailer
  For the most part, master cylinders for hydraulic brake actuators are model specific. Is there any indication on the hydraulic coupler what the manufacturer and model number of the actuator is? Without that information, I really wouldn't be able to make a recommendation for a replacement master cylinder. Hydraulic trailer brakes typically use 3/16 inch brake lines. You shouldn't need to replumb the lines if they're in good shape, but if you can't identify the manufacturer of the actuator,...

• How to Tell if you Have the Titan # T2374400 or the # T4747100
  I pulled both the # T2374400 and the # T4747100 that you referenced to check out and found a way for you to determine which you have. You will need to remove the red plug from the end opposite of the plunger and look down into that hole. If you see what looks like a flat gray disc you have the disc brake master cylinder part # T4747100 . If what you see is a concave metal piece with medium size holes then you are looking at the check valve and you have the drum brake version.

• Correct Replacement Master Cylinder for Titan Model 10 Brake Actuator Disc/Drum
  The correct replacement master cylinder for a Titan Model 10 Brake Actuator is part # T2374400 for drum brakes or part # T4747100 for disc brakes. It is possible that the wrong actuator was installed on the trailer and since the master cylinder is the only different component I recommend the master cylinder for disc brakes since that is what you have on the trailer.

• Can a Disc Brake Master Cylinder be Used with Drum Brakes on a Trailer
  You would not want to use a disc brake master cylinder with drum brakes because the psi rating is much higher for disc brakes. Using it on drum brakes can lead to damage to the wheel cylinders and very aggressive braking. The master cylinder for the drum brakes is # T2374400. Drum brake master cylinders have a check valve on the inside that regulates the psi going through the brake lines. This is not something that you can add to the disc brake master cylinder. You would either have to...

  We have a solution, but we don't have a Titan Model 10 actuator currently that is designed for disc brakes. What you could do is swap in the disc brake actuator part # T4747100 to the # T2477600 and you'd have a Model 10 designed for disc brakes.

• How to Tell Difference Between Titan Model 20 Drum and Disc Actuator
  Look at the side of the master cylinder and you'll be able to tell which type of brakes it is designed for by the number. If you see 23744 stamped into the side of it you have a drum brake model. If you have 25744 stamped in the side it's for disc brakes. Also you can easily change either style to the other by swapping out the master cylinder. For a drum brake application you'd want the part # T2374400 or for disc part # T4747100.

• Troubleshooting a Dico Surge Brake Coupler on Boat Trailer with Disc Brakes
  From the information you have given, I believe that you have a Dico Model 10 actuator. We offer Master Cylinder, # T4747100, that can be used as a replacement if you choose to go this route. If the ridiculous noise still exists, I recommend that you replace your current brake actuator with one that has a weight capacity closer to the weight of your Trail Rite boat trailer. The Titan Disc Brake Actuator, # T4747200, has a weight capacity of 8,000 pounds.

• Can Drum Brake Actuator Be Used Temporarily on Trailer with Disc Brakes
  The problem with using a drum brake actuator with disc brakes is that it's not going to supply enough pressure to fully engage the assemblies. Drum brake actuators typically put out around 1,000 to 1,200 psi (sufficient for drum brake assemblies) but disc brake systems require around 1,600 psi, thus an actuator specifically designed for them. Because of this your braking power is going to be greatly reduced with your current setup. With a tandem axle trailer this could cause some issues,...

• Troubleshooting Titan Surge Disc Brake Actuator
  It could be that your reverse lockout solenoid needs replacement. Part # T4748800 is the replacement part. But I suspect your master cylinder is the cause for the brakes staying locked up until you release the pressure from the bleed valve on one of the calipers. You can check your master cylinder to see if the piston returns to its normal position after you manually compress it. If not you will want to replace it with part # T4747100 which fits the model 10 disc actuator. For the same...

• Replacing the Master Cylinder on a Model 10 Titan Actuator with Rear Access Blocked
  Yes, you can replace the master cylinder of the Titan 10 Actuator by removing the inter slide. Removing all the parts in front of the master cylinder will be quite tedious.

This will allow you access to the rear of the actuator to replace the master cylinder for disc brakes with # T4747100 or if you wanted one with the frame assembly # T4749501042.

• Are Brake Actuating Coupler Master Cylinders Universal Fit?
  For a surge brake actuator, the master cylinders are not universal fit. There are different styles and there are different psi levels for disc brakes versus drum brakes. For instance the Master Cylinder for Titan Actuators - Disc Brakes # T4747100 cannot work in place of the Demco Actuator Replacement Master Cylinder for Drum Brakes # 5650 simply because it won't fit the mounting correctly or hold the same brake pressure. If the mounting locations and the pressure were ideal, then you...

• A-Frame Surge Brake Coupler Recommendation to Replace HydroAct Actuator
  From a previous question we know that the actuator you have is a HydroAct brand and based on that we know the master cylinder you mentioned won't fit it. For a similar A-frame style coupler that will work great as a replacement we have the A-Frame Brake Actuator # DM8205222 which would be a great choice as a replacement. For a coupler then you'd want the # DM15791-97.

• Tow Bar/Base Plate For 2001 Chevy Blazer
  If you are referring to the tow bar by itself, that will just depend on the base plates you currently have; you'd have to match up the base plate manufacturer with tow bar manufacturer. If you were asking about adding base plates for a tow bar to your 2001 Blazer, I checked with our manufacturers and there weren't any custom-fit base plates, so the only option would be to add universal brackets, the Blue Ox Bolt-On Base Plate Bracket Kit - 5,000 lbs # BX88230. With this you could then...
