This isn't 110 it's 12 volt but is easy to install and works like a charm (scroll down to 12V Powerblock):

I installed it under the bedrail with the plugs facing down.  I have not had any trouble with water getting in the plugs.

I am wondering the same thing.  I have asked the dealership, and as of now, they told me no because the part is not available to them yet.  If anyone hears anything different, please let me know.

I got the same response on this and other items like fog lights, etc.  They don't have them available yet but know they are coming.

I would love to have this be a GM accessory one day, I'd get it installed in a heartbeat!

Yeah. I want this. The only issue is the factory one is 150 Watts. Wish they made it in 400 Watts.

I just got an answer back from the dealership and they’re saying the trucks equipped with outlet have an inverter in the cab (I never would’ve thought) lol. Said it would be quite expensive to add it all. And they don’t feel comfortable “hacking into the electrical system” In other words they don’t want to do it as it’s extremely easy to hook an inverter up. The difficult part would just be running the wires throughout the truck. You can buy the receptacle and an aftermarket inverter and wire it up yourself if you’re up to the task. I will be doing this in the future sometime.

 

heres the link to the receptacle

I thing to be cautious of is what connection type the GM plug has.  It may be proprietary and require that you also buy the wire harness also to hook up to it easily.  Let us know.

I haven't looked at all of the wiring yet to see if the inverter is there or not but the wiring is all ready there for the plug in the cab. If you take the blank panel off on the dash the wiring and plugs are there. Would be awesome if it's plug and play and only the receptacle is needed.

I noticed that too when i took off the blank cap inside the cab there were 2 wires running into the blank plate...Why would they have the wires there if it's not plug and play?

I thought the same thing about plug n play when I installed the rear cargo lights in my 2020 Silverado 1500 WT but I was wrong.  I installed the lights and plugged the wire into the lights and they did not work.  I was told by the dealer that I would have to pay them $135 to program my BCM before they would work.

 

On the 110 volt plug there is more missing than the plug, you will also need the inverter.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
