Question:
Hello, I have a 2020 Silverado 2500HD and it came with factory brake controller. The problem is that it sucks.... I would like to use a universal brake controller but since the truck has the factory controller what would I need to do to install an aftermarket one? Thanks for your help with this,

Expert Reply:
To install an after market brake controller on you 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 you would need to go with the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional Item # RED44FR and the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3064-P. You need to make sure to take your vehicle to a dealership and have them flash the computer to turn your factory brake controller off so it does not throw a code. If you do not have the factory brake controller turned off, when you install the aftermarket controller the computer will still be looking for the factory controller.
