2019-2023 Sierra/Silverado: Trailer Brake Controller Install

[@ericsandstrom3073]

The wire colors at 1:10 really helped. Thank you.

[@elgincook8491]

This is by far the BEST instructional video, how I did it video,.... on KZbin! Thanks for that concise, complete video. Many thanks!

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Great video. I wanted to confirm the wiring. You provided exactly what i needed. Thanks

[@fgsharp3863]

Great video to help me locate the connector under the dash

[@johnkalotai9642]

What year? I have a 2023 and I can't locate it

[@johnmitchell2741]

Thanks for the video Sir😁

[@AcmeRacing]

I came here from under my dash, because my factory-supplied pigtail didn't match what I felt behind the connector block. Seconds in when you showed the dummy plug my question was answered. The sheet that came with the harness did not mention a dummy plug at all.

Good work

I have a 2023 silverado 1500 custom. Bought it used with 10k miles on it. I thought the pigtail was forgotten by the previous owner. I had no idea what it was for until i found your video. Thank you for that. Heres my question. I don't like loose items lying around. Is it possible for me to hook up this pigtail and leave it taped out of the way until I need it in the future?

[@MasterJacks]

@@kismyc0untryazz-491 yeah, it wouldn't affect anything to have the pigtail connected without the controller

[@dennisp5931]

I’m kind of confused because there is no black wire on my GM wire harness

[@saltcar]

Nice job with the solder joints, shrink tube, and braided loom. Rarely see that today on aftermarket installs.

Hey i just seen your video for the break controler and i was wondered how its doing on your truck i jus bought a 2022 GMC sierra 1500 SLE and it didnt come wif a brake controler hard to believe come wif everything else but how did it do i have a cargo trail and a camper and a car haulin trailer ill be pullin wif it thanks and good video best one i found

[@johnnyyoung3287]

My pickup has that funky trailer brake assist you have pictured that lights up what is it called?

[@brandonmorrison2379]

I bought a truck that did not have factory trailer braje control and i would like to have aomething installed on the dash where it really should be, i dont even know if this is an option. Can a dealer unlock the software?

[@MasterJacks]

It's not possible to install a factory controller, which is frustrating. It had to be an option when purchased. I believe the harness is there, but something about the interface on the instrument cluster can't be programmed, lame.

[@brandonmorrison2379]

@MasterJacks I ended up going with a curt spectrum which can be installed in the factory location and then wired like a tradition trailer brake, I just didn't want to screw one into the dash 😅

[@MasterJacks]

@@brandonmorrison2379 nice!

[@ghostsquatch]

I have a 2019 sierra. Do you have to have the computer flashed to make work correct??

[@MasterJacks]

No, other than plugging into the harness, it doesn't integrate with factory displays or settings

[@johnkalotai9642]

So where is the factory brake controller connection on the silverado?

[@shepss217]

I hate how gm lets an aftermarket controller hook up with ease but a factory controller doesn’t…makes no sense. Good video though and nice job splicing those wires

[@alberto_el_tiburon9127]

Ayo how often is a throttle body decarb or cleaning recommend to be done ?

[@MasterJacks]

There really isn't an interval for it. I'd say around 100k with a tune-up would be good. If it's in a dirty climate, or poor air quality, increase frequency.

[@doubeleive]

I wouldn't wait beyond 20k miles to do it if you want to keep it clean and nice, neglect it and then you have idle issue's, I personally do mine about every 3 months or so just as a habit

[@jensvincent7975]

Do it now and install a catch can…then never do it again.
