Adapter and E-O-H Actuator Recommendation for a 2013 GMC 2500 with Integrated Brake Controller

Updated 07/22/2013 | Published 07/19/2013

Question:

Question, I have a 2013 GMC 2500 HD that has an integrated brake controller. Id like to take advantage of it and convert my triple axle from suge disc brakes to electric over hydrualic. I saw in previous questions that etrailer recommends an after market controller, however I perfer the clean install of the factory controller. I see that Titan makes an adapter to make the factory controller work with their systems T4845900 however etrailer still recommends the aftermarket controllers? Is there something else negative that Im missing using the factory controller? The trailer is a triple axle disc brake setup with 12inch rotors. What is the best electric over hydrualic actuator for this setup that would work with my factory integrated brake controller?

Since you would like to use your integrated factory brake controller on your 2013 GMC 2500HD I think your best option would be to use the Titan BrakeRite II Severe-Duty Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4835700, and then use the Titan BrakeRite SD Adapter # T4845900 that you referenced.

With some of the older trucks that have integrated brake controllers we recommend going to a different brake controller as some of the adapters will not work consistently with them. With the newer trucks like yours adapters work well, especially when the adapter is used with the actuator it was designed for like what I recommended for you.
