You will want The HydraStar Control Adapter Module # HBA-CAM, to use your Hydrastar # HBA-16 unit with the factory integrated brake controller on your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500.

The factory brake controllers on 2007 and up GM trucks are not directly compatible with electric-over-hydraulic braking systems, and will require a separate adapter like the # HBA-CAM to work properly.
