Parts Needed to Install the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller on a 2002 Chevy Silverado K3500
Question:
I am looking at the Tekonsa p3 trailer brake controller for my 2002 k3500 dually. Problem is my truck is not listed in your catalog. I will be using a gooseneck trailer and standard hitch trailer. Both are used for heavy towing. Dual axles brakes are on 1 axle and 2 axle gooseneck. Plus I need, unless it comes with the controller, the cable to connect controller to my truck. Truck is a 2002 Chevy Silverado k3500 dually with gas engine 8.1 liter. Thanks in advance for your help.

To install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 on your 2002 Chevy Silverado K3500 you need the Wiring Adapter # 3025-P which plugs in under your driver-side dash (see attached install video).
If you already have the factory plug at the back then you're good to start towing, otherwise you need to check above your spare tire for the OEM wiring. If you find a bundle of wires you'll need the Pollak Kit # PK11898, but if you find a connector instead then you just need the Hopkins # 30955 and you'll be good to go!
I have also attached a helpful article we put together on this installation for you to check out.
