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.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
