Helpful Expert Reply:
Let me clear up the confusion. Yes, the Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Time Delayed item # 39523 will only work with trailers that use electric brakes. This brake controller is time delayed which means the signal is sent to trailer brakes when your trucks brakes are activated.
Don't forget to grab the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - GM item # 3015-P. This is a plug-in adapter that allows you to connect a Tekonsha brake controller to your 2004 Chevy Silverado without cutting or splicing wires.
