Question:
Will this work on a 2007 Chevy Silverado Z71? I have a 7 pin plug that came factory on the truck but no factory controller.

Hey Don, as long as you have a 7-way on your truck then you can use the Curt Spectrum # C51170. The 7-way being already there means all of the necessary wiring to use this brake controller has been run so you'll be all set!
Let me know below if there is anything else I can do for you!
