The Titan BrakeRite EHB Adapter # DX35FR will allow you to use the integrated electric brake controller in your 2009 GMC Sierra 2500 with surge brakes as long as you have a Titan BrakeRite actuator or a Dexstar DX series.

The newest Titan BrakRite Actuator Kit # T4813202 is not plug and play and would need the Titan BrakeRite SD Adapter for Ford/Chevy Integral Brake Controllers Item # T4845900

If you have a Hydrastar actuator instead you'll need # HBA-CAM.
