Yes, the Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Time Delayed item # 39523 will work with your 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500. This brake controller only works with electric brakes.
Since your Chevy has the factory tow package you will want to grab the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - GM item # 3015-P. This is a plug-in adapter that allows you to connect a Tekonsha brake controller to your Chevy truck without cutting or splicing wires. I have linked an installation video.
If you are looking for a brake controller that can be used with electric brakes as well as hydraulic brakes then I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller item # 90195. This is a proportional brake controller that works with trailers having up to 4 axles. The brake controller activates your trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action and there is no delay like the Tekonsha PowerTrac which is a time delayed brake controller.
