I have a 2016 LT CC and I noticed that my 110 plus LED isn’t on. I checked the 50A fuse in the left of the dash which I believe should be where this gets its juice. The other USB and cigarette lighter power ports are functioning when the truck is running and when it is not. I first assumed it was a fuse. The others working leads me to the power inverted. I’ve read that it has issues and can go bad. Has anyone replaced it themselves? Any help would be great! Thanks fellas!

Man, you're way out in left field on this. There is nothing in the left ip fuse box that has anything to do with the inverter. Pick a big fuse somewhere and that's good so it must be the inverter? Some inverters fail but have only seen a very few. 2 fuses in the right ip fuse box ( 1 via the bcm ) run the inverter. A 25a and a 10a. 9 times out of 10 , someone plugged a device that requires way too much wattage. I'ts only good for 150 watts.

I replaced the 25A blown fuse and plugged in my laptop and blew the fuse immediately. I meant the right fuse box. My mistake.

The 50A fuse in the left side that controls the other power and USB is fine. Everything else is good. Just the 110. I would like to use it for my laptop. It’s adaptor is 45W.

I have seen them do exactly that. I have even plugged in a three pronged household outlet tester and blown the fuse. Problem is, I can't remember if an inverter or outlet fixed it. I'm fairly sure an inverter fixed it though.

I’m headed in to the dealer Friday. I’ll update then. Thanks for checking back.

Dealer says it’s the plug, not the inverter. Ordered the plug. I’ll update once it’s in and functioning.

Went back to the dealer yesterday, they swapped the plug and it immediately blew the fuse. They checked it in and it was the inverter that had to be replaced. They said the plugs cause shorts most of the time but, for some reason, it was the inverter.

Do you think the inverter is covered by extended warranty?

I think that depends on the warranty. I would definitely make them tell me no. It seems like that inverter was going to be a couple hundred bucks. Make them say they won’t do it. The question is free!

well if anyone wants to do it yourself its fairly simple. I have a 2015 silverado 1500 and my inverter went bad. its under the steering wheel behind the cover, or right above the brake pedal/gas pedal. There is 1 nut on the back side of the plate (not the two on the front of the plate) and an orange cable of wires connects to it. I was able to order on ebay for $27. The inverters for a 2015 are compatible for the 2015-2019 silverado (per my ebay purchase)

Any chance you have a link and are these upgraded to handle higher power items or just OEM replacements?

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
