Titan disc brakes / 2017 GM duramax

[Wood_chip]

Does anybody have real life knowledge if the integrated brake controller in a 2017 GM is compatible with Titan brakes electric over hydraulic setup? I have read that im good to go but did see a youtube video of 2016 needing the added module to communicate with the OEM integrated brake controller. Hopefully somebody here has a 2017 GM and has electric over hydraulic disc brakes on their rv.

My Titan Disc brake installation is complete and I can report as others have reported that the EOH adapter is not needed for the 2017. All seems to work fine.

Thought I would share a photo. There were many installations on Youtube showing to install all the calipers the same orientation but later learned they only need to be the same orientation on the same axel. This orientation allows the caliper bolts to be easily accessed and away from the shock mount while doing future brake jobs

my 2011 needed a module.

That is what performancetrailerbraking.com did when he installed mine. The magnet is strapped to the top front of the front storage compartment, near the pin box and hydraulic actuator.

They are the ones that did my upgrade too.

Thanks for the definitive answer. I just took delivery of a 2018 GMC Duramax last week so I was wondering the same thing.
Funny thing is, I just had that " 2 wire fooler module" go bad a few months ago and had to replace it. I had to have it on my 2013 Duramax with factory ITBC.
So now I guess I can remove it from the RV before connecting the new truck.
Thanks.

My brake installer told me that you can even reuse one of the old brake magnets wired inline, and that would also resolve the problem.

I had to do this on my 2002 Duramax. Since I had the magnets already installed (DIY cost me $5) I just left them in place with my 2017 Duramax. I don't think they would be needed, but I can say that everything is working.

Without the magnets the integrated controller on my 2002 would not work at all. The magnets "fool" the controller into thinking that the electrical signal is going to the brakes. To test you have to have a tester based on a automobile headlamp. Without it a multimeter will no more receive a signal from the integrated controller than the hydraulic actuator will. I spent hours with a professional disc brake installer who did not know this--and in fact would not believe it.

This relates to the older Duramax not the 2017. I built a tester with a headlamp from a junkyard. When I went to a Chevrolet dealer, he had a very similar tester.

I had to add the module to my 2016. Without it, it didn't set a light or fault, but the truck would pulse the hydraulic pump every 5 seconds. As mentioned, adding the module does nothing except add a resistance load to the circuit to "fool" the controller.

Module is just to simulate some actual current draw to prevent an error message. Worst case you add the 2 wire module. Good to go.

2017 model is probably fine.

If you replace any factory braking equipment with aftermarket won’t that void any...any GM warranty? What is deficient about GM’s braking?
