Topic: Brake controller and air bags

[pknoerzer]

I have a 2010 Z71 Avalanche with the tow package - but it didn't come with the built in trailer brake controller.  Has anyone added on a brake controller?  What brand and wire harness did you use.  I've hooked up quite a few brake controllers but the new electronic controls on vehicles make me nervous.

Also I'm interested if anyone has added air bags to the rear suspension?

I have a Tekonsha Prodigy. The wiring harness should have came with the Av. It wires to the controller and then just plugs in under the dash on the drivers firewall.

See if this helps any. Note that there is also the info for adding auxilary power to the rear harness in this article.

Thanks for the info and links.  This site is very helpful.

+1 on the Prodigy.  I just added a P2 to my 05 using the factory supplied pigtail. 

That has to be the easiest mod I have ever done on a vehicle.  I spent less time than installing ham radios by far.  Something to be said about the having the wires already run from the factory......
