Own brake controller

[steveoe]

My tahoe doesn’t have the jl1 brake controller from the factory I was wondering if anyone has bought this and was able to use it even though it didn’t come stock? Thanks

Nope... that's just a replacement switch ...
You will need "All the factory stuff" to make it work...
Best choice is just an aftermarket brake kit

What Foggy says. You'd literally have to take the truck apart, replace multiple wiring harnesses and and have everything reprogrammed as it is truly integrated.

I have the Tekonsha P3 in my 2007 and love it.

Same here, P3. Highly recommend. Used it a few weeks back to tow a camper. Again.
