Expert Reply:
The first thing you will need to do is take your 2015 Sierra 2500 to the dealer and have the computer flashed to disable the factory brake controller. Doing this will remove the risk of the check engine light or other messages displaying on the dash. After this is done, you can install a brake controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR you looked at using the # 331-TPH-010. Once you plug the controller into the factory port you will be ready to go.
