To install a brake controller like the part # 90195 in your 2007 Chevy Silverado there are a few connections under the hood of your truck that need to be made. There is one wire by the truck's fender that will need to get connected to the fuse box and there is another wire beneath the brake booster that needs to get run to the fuse box.
Check out the help article I attached that details this process.
For nuts you will need M8, # 185917 and the M6, # 185916.
I also attached an install video.
