My 2012 2500 wont even work the brakes on my boat trailer with EOH but it will work fine with just standard electric brakes. Talked to the dealer and they told me that I would have to disconnect the stock one and go with a aftermarket controller in order to work the brakes on my trailer.

Actually you can get a late model GM Truck w/ an ITB to work w/ a trailer equipped w/ EOH brakes by wiring in a pair of electric brake pads. A buddy of mine showed me how to do it & it worked like a champ. We both have Skater trailers, mine has a Carlisle brake system on it & there's something in the circuitry that has the brain looking for some sort of impulse / resistance that a pair of electric pads emits.

You can wire in a light bulb, anything that has a draw. A bit shady tree for me, I'd rather have the module for 60 bucks and move on, just me though.

They both have to be hard wired in so neither are plug & play. Other than the 2 mounting holes it's a glorified brake pad in my opinion. We just tywrapped ours neatly underneath out of sight.
At least someone is offering a solution. Why GM doesn't update their controller is beyond me. My buddies 2013 F250 is plug & play w/ his Myco, no module required.

I got the Titan patch module to wire into the trailer. But thanks for the info anyway

I'm not about to hack anything in, I would never hear the end of it with some of the friends I boat with occasionally. You might know him, he's pretty anal about these things.

08 fastech 292, did you ever figure it out?

generally if the brakes are locking up in reverse and grabbing its a pump problem not an electrical problem, i just ordered a new pump and control unit from www.theexpediter.com great prices and fast shipping too.

So here's the latest. I wasn't able to diagnose what was wrong and have been traveling a lot for work so I took the trailer to my local trailer mechanic. After several phone calls with Brakerite they say the pump is bad. New one ordered and should be back in business this week.

No reason given by Brakerite on why the pump failed after only three years.

I have a 2011 chevy duelly and factory controller works fine with my myco/break rite trailer.

I had pump and brake rite comp go bad, i think the comp went bad first causing pump to cycle, then had a full 6 wheel lock up at 55 mph. all fixed now.
