Expert Reply:
The Dexter Axle DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuators, parts # K71-651 and # K71-650, will work with the OEM brake controller in your 2015 Chevy Silverado, but you may need to use the adapter part # T4845900. This has a plug on it that fits directly to the Actuator for Titan BrakeRite II Systems # T4834100 so that will need to be cut off it you use a Dexter Axle actuator.
I spoke with my contact at Dexter Axle who said that at this point in time it is just a guessing game as to whether or not the OEM brake controller will work with an EOH actuator without the adapter. It is so hit and miss that the best route to go is to get everything installed and if it doesn't work properly then add in the adapter.
