Electric Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Question:
I have a 2007 Duramax 2500 Silverado. Will the Tekonsha Prodigy Brake Controller, part # 90185 work with this unit? I am pulling a 26 foot Pace Shadow car hauler. I have the trailer package on the truck but apparently no brake assist.

Expert Reply:
The Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885, would be an excellent choice for your 2007 Silverado.
Chevy produced two body styles that model year, the classic and the new body style. If you have the classic model, you would need to use a wiring adapter, part # 3015-P. The adapter would wire directly to your controller, and then plug into the port located under the dash behind the emergency brake pedal.
If your Silverado is the New Body Style, the controller would directly wire into the tow package wiring located under the dash above the emergency brake pedal with no adapter needed. You would also need to connect two wires in the engine bay. I have added a link to an article below showing how to do this.
