Has anyone added the 110V outlet to there interior and if so how difficult. I have a 2019 RST Z71 and it does not have it and I would like to add it. I don't know if behind the blank plate if the wiring is there or not but if anyone could add some insight I would greatly appreciate it.

Simple answer. It can't be done with factory hardware.

I took that trip and found that if it's not ordered from the factory, it can't be upgraded.

I plan on doing this in mine as well, used it often in my 15.
Im going to get a good inverter and run a new primary wire from the battery (will be useful in the future as well) then connect to the factory blank with some diy.
You could most likely make 3 of your own for what the dealer wants.

Ps I believe this has been covered multiple times.

Used it for what. I just ordered a 2020 that has that inside plug. So I'm asking what would I use it for?

Everything from a crock pot to keep food warm traveling to parties, to chargers for tools. It even ran the combustion blower for my stoker stove in a pinch once when I lost power.
Iirc it was nowhere near 15 amps, couldn't run high draw items.

The panel on my 2019 Silverado 1500 RST can be pried off and voila! Two plugs are attached to the back of it. They fit perfectly into an OE electric power outlet I bought to begin a power outlet project. Car companies put in these simple inexpensive harness pigtails to make it easier for their assemblers at the plant. Now the problem presented is what/where do these go to behind the dash? The easy answer would probably be to analyze the wire color codes for the vehicle and trace them back to somewhere.

Yes there are wires there. I believe there are even wires that run to the rear for the bed plug as well. The inverter is mounted on the back wall of the cab behind the seat. However just hooking things up won't make it work like from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Gas Prices

      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?
