Common Questions

Before You Buy

What PSI actuator is included?+
The 1,600 PSI GEN 8 actuator is included. This is the correct pressure for both disc and drum brake applications.
Do I need anything else to complete the install?+
You will need DOT 3 brake fluid (not included). Basic hand tools and a way to mount the actuator to your trailer tongue.
What is the difference between integral and slip over?+
Integral kits replace your entire hub and rotor as one piece. Slip over kits mount the rotor over your existing hub — faster install, no hub removal needed.

That’s a known GM compatibility issue across the 2024–2026 lineup. Hydrastar has the fix — the GM Diode Module (#381-7074) is a plug-and-play inline solution.

New Ford Truck Owners

Connectivity issues before or after the dealer flash? Brakes dropping in and out?

Affects new Ford trucks when switching from electric mode to EOH mode.
