Past week or so, have been converting trailer over from surge Kodiac disc to and EoH set up.
Got the Hydrastar EoH in a complete kit, including power unit, emergency breakaway and breakaway battery, new 7 pin trailer cable and junction box at etrailer on sale for about 825, on sale, complete / shipped. Power head is controlled by a Tekonsha P3 in cab controller.
Removed the MC, shock (both were junk) and drive rod / spring from the A60 surge coupler. Drilled a 3/4" hole through mount and coupler and locked together with a new 3/4" pin (same as the wheel and mounting pins) with the snap rings.
Was pretty simple install and got all the calipers / lines flushed and burped with new DOT 3, checked for leaks and verified all worked as intended. Took for ride to a BIG empty lot and set the gains, and such, on the P3.
Gotta say, that EoH setup with the Kodiacs is awesome. Trailer will stop truck post haste. Set the manual over ride on the P3 and tried to move trailer with the truck. Back wheels just spun and truck didn't move. PLUS, no more surge clunk.
If anyone is contemplating converting from surge, Just Do It........ EoH with discs on all 4 wheels is best trailer upgrade ever, me thinks.
