Titan vs. Kodiak?
I'm planning to upgrade my drum brakes to an electric/hydraulic disc brake setup. Has anyone done the research on which setup seems best or are they on par with each other? Thanks

The fact that the Kodiak 7K/8K disc brakes use standard GM pads from, say, a 1991 Chevy Malibu, Olds Cutlass or Buick Century means that pad availability is as close as your local auto parts store. Many (if not most) will offer organic, semi-metallic and ceramic pad options for this GM fitment.

Availability of Disc Brake Pads for a Kodiak 250 Caliper on a Double Tree Fifth Wheel
Question:
I have a Double tree elite suite 5th wheel travel trailer with kodiak disc brakes. The caliper is marked Kodiak 250. What are the right ceramic pads for this caliper. The pads I took off are marked Kodiak D215. My trailer has 8,000 lb. axles.

The disc brake pads that we have for the Kodiak caliper that is marked 250 is the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads, part # K250CP, that you have referenced. These pads are for use on calipers that are rated for 7,000 lbs to 8,000 lbs.
The D215 number is the part number that is on the automotive brake pads that can be used in the Kodiak calipers. It can use the same disc brake pads as used on the front axle of the early 1980s and early 1990s GM FWD model vehicles.
