Factory Brake Controller Adapter For Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator On 2012 Silverado 3500HD

Question:

I have a 2012 Siverado 3500HD diesel truck and a 2015 Lifestyle 5th wheel with hydraulic disc brakes. Will T 4845900 adapter solve the problem of the factory controller not recognizing the 5th wheel being connected and the brakes not actuating? The Dexter hydraulic pump is model EH 1600

Because you have a Dexter hydraulic pump, you are in an interesting spot. Dexter says that the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Adapter Module for Ford and Chevy Brake Controllers, # HBA-CAM, will work. HydraStar has not tested it with their system because they want to sell their equipment, so they will not confirm a fit. We have not tested it, so we can't confirm a fit either, but according to Dexter and some of our customers it has worked with their system.

I don't believe the # T4845900, will work with your application.
