Trailer brakes and controller on 1999 GMC Suburban

Posted July 24, 2011 By Landis V

Need to get my Suburban set up with a 7-conductor trailer connector and possibly a brake booster (possibly, because it is indicated that the ‘burb already has this controller).  Noting a couple of links.

Note:  Suburban does not include the booster from the factory, just the wiring.  The wiring terminates up behind the brake controller just in front of the firewall.  I ended up drilling a small hole in the firewall and mounted a cheapo Wal Mart controller there.

    I want it. Take out some of the cabinets and storage in the back, throw in a bunk, and it’s a new house. Generator, even. Wonder if I can get a loan…
