Hey Wayne, thanks for reaching out!
I recommend going with the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160 for your 2002 GMC Sierra because it's a reliable but simple controller. It installs to your truck using the Wiring Adapter # 3025-P so the installation is a plug and play so no splicing is required.
Attached is an installation video of the Prodigy P3 # 90195 on a 2002 Silverado that you can reference for your installation.
