The factory brake controller in your 2016 Chevy 3500 is compatible with all of our Electric Over Hydraulic Actuators when you use the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Adapter Module for Ford and Chevy Brake Controllers # HBA-CAM. This will work with any of our EOH actuators to ensure a good connection without error messages.

My recommendation is to use the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # HBA16-252-82 or the Kit for Drum Brakes - 1,000 psi # HBA-10-252-82.
