A Hitachi Magic Wand “neck” massager caused the 110v circuit to fail at what seemed to have been a very critical moment. She had a few rather unflattering words for GM at that particular juncture.

We had a 3 hour drive to Thanksgiving dinner last year, wife plugged in our crockpot and cooked baked beans all the way. Smelled pretty good!!

Mines a 15 but I never used the plug.  I've tried maybe 2-3 times getting stuff to plug in but gave up cause it wouldn't go in.  So it really has never truly been used.  I guess I better see if I can

I occasionally use the outlet to charge the battery for my RC crawler while I'm driving.  If the truck is parked, I connect the AC/DC charger directly to the battery, since the outlet turns off when t

I'm thinking about putting a string of LED Christmas lights in my back window [emoji319].

Pure Sine Generators... 

There are two types of inverters... those that  have a pure sine wave and those that don't. An electric generator produces electricity by spinning a wheel in a circle. This is outstanding for electric motors as it provides the same current as would be perfect for. There are inverters that use an electronic method to produce the electricity... and the wave generated clips at the top and bottom... not giving you a pure sine wave.

I don't think the one in my 2018 Silverado is a pure sine wave inverter. That would make a difference to whatever you plugged into it.

 

That runs the dashcam and has an extra usb port that's powered on an off with the ignition.

Would have been nice if auto makers would have upgraded to a 24 volt system in the past.  Now with electric vehicles coming, this won't be an issue.

I don't think moving to a 24V system would make a difference, as a battery of a given physical size will store approximately the same amount of power.  Same with the alternator.

Hopefully the one on the 2019's in the bed will be much more powerful.  If so it would be a great retrofit mod when the part is available.

I didn't realize there was one in the bed. I have a 2019 2500hd ltz and I haven't noticed a 110v outlet in the bed of my truck unfortunately... where is your outlet located?

Look in your owners manual, that will indicate where it is, if your truck has that option.  It'll also indicate how much power is available via that outlet.

My manual reads that the plug outlet on my dash is good for cell phones and mp3 players.  Has anyone tried powering other things like small vacuums or power tools with this outlet?  I've never used it and wondering what it is capable of powering without harm to device or vehicle.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
