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.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I have access to about 20 diesel trucks with my business. And of course multiple gas trucks and cars. Zero-20 weight  oil is used in most all of them. But if you want to narrow down to one specific little diesel engine that’s fine. That’s what I get for agreeing with the idea of the use of lighter oil. In modern engines. And of course agreeing with you. I wouldn’t make that mistake again.

      Link to the Demonworks video, 100k+ Duramax 3.0 that somehow survived on OLM-prescribed intervals and dealer oil service.

      Stan, this thread is specifically related to the Duramax 3.0, in the 2019-2026 powertrain subforum. If you'd like to talk about your other vehicles and offer anecdotal stories about them, please consider starting a thread in forum that pertains to your truck, or the other vehicles/ Off-Topic section if they are not a GM truck.

      Video processing module location

      By twgraham · Posted

      Can someone tell me where the video processing module is in a 2023 Silverado? I'm getting conflicting results that it's in the front passenger area or the rear passenger area behind the seat.

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.
