It all depends on which electric over hydraulic actuator you are using. If your truck has an integrated brake controller it might be compatible. But you mentioned having a 2009 2500HD but I do not know if it is a Silverado, Sierra, or Ram.

If we are talking factory integrated controllers then GM trucks are not compatible with the HydraStar # HBA16, # HBA-12, or # HBA-10 unless you use adapter # HBA-CAM (which only works with the model HydraStars indicated on its product page).

It is not 100 percent clear which if any factory controllers work with the Dexter actuators, # K71-651 or # K71-650, so an aftermarket controller such as the P2 # 90885 or P3 # 90195 would have to be used.

The Titan actuator # T4813102 would only be compatible with GM and Ford factory controllers if adapter # T4845900. There isn't one for Rams.

The safe bet is to bypass the factory controller and use an aftermarket controller that has an electric over hydraulic mode such as the P2 # 90885 or the P3 # 90195.
