Truepursuit, have you called Loadmaster and priced out the job having them do it?

It may be just as cost effective to haul the trailer up to Tampa and have them do it...if the boat is off it, they can probably do it within a couple hours.

Wow...that is both rational, reasonable and most likely cost effective. Therefor I will reject it out of hand. I have a rep to maintain.

My actuator is the Titan 60 [not the Titan 60 as i originally said] and I bought the entire unit for $119, simply bolt it on, bleed the brakes and you're ready to go. I don't know about you but that $119 is small change compared to the piece of mind i get knowing the trailer is going to stop safely. I guess you can buy parts for the older unit and make the swap. Give the tech guys at Titan a call..they were pretty helpful..

I just upgraded my loadmaster trailer replacing the drums with the Kodiak Cad disc brakes and I spoke with both Triton and the trailer guys who both agreed that only a disc actuator should be used and not the old drum actuator. The trailer guy told me that if you were involved in an accident involving the trailer and had the incorrect actuator on the trailer your insurance policy would not cover. Bought a Triton 60 disc actuator online with the back up solenoid for $119 and installed it myself. Small price to pay IMO for doing it right. Total install took less then 2 hours, removing the old, rewiring the new and bleeding the brakes....

Yes I have a Triton Model 6 Actuator....I went to the Triton and Website to see what I could find out. Did you just buy a new Master Cylinder or did you have to buy the whole Actuator? It would seem I could just buy a new Master Cylinder. The Triton Model 6 Actuator comes in either a Disc model or a Drum Model.
