Your 2004 Chevy included a connector under the dashboard to plug in an electric brake controller. Unfortunately, GM went away with this feature in all of their trucks for the 2007 to 2014 generation. So there isn't an easy plug and play harness available and you need to hardwire in the Tekonsha Voyager, part # 39510.
Luckily, the wires to connect the controller to are all run to the cab of the truck. If you need wiring you can use part # 20127 for a harness to hardwire in. The wires to connect are tucked up under the dash just to the left of the brake pedal arm. The wires are likely all taped together. I've linked a video showing the install and if you check it out around the 1:45 mark you can see the installed point out the location.
Also, if you need to install a 7-way trailer connector at the rear of your GMC use part # 30955 that just plugs in.
