Right now GM is having issues with this option as described here ==> Integrated Brake Controller - GM-Trucks.com

Personally I'd opt for an aftermarket integrated controller such as the BrakeSmart
There is a fix for it now. It appears to be a lack of adaquate grounding somewhere between the 7 pin connector on the truck and where the ground connects at the trailer. It is kind of funny to me since I had the same problem with an aftermarket controller.
