I am looking at installing some electrical components on my 2020 Silverado RST.  In looking at the battery distribution center on top of the battery, I have a few empty slots, some with a separation about the equivalent of an ANL fuse and Mini ANL fuse.  Does anyone know where I can get these studs that slide into the brackets?  I have asked my dealer, and no one knows what hey are called or where to get them.  I just feel that using these spots, all installations will look clean and almost like OEM.

You could try replacing the 12v distribution plate w/ the 2.7l turbo's part.  The 2.7 has OEM posts at the extra locations, with fuses.  It uses only 1 of the additional three fuses (it uses the 80amp one).  BUT, you might still be stuck looking for two additional posts.  here's a picture from my 2019 2.7l .  I use one of these extra posts w/100 amp fuse to run an inverter, but I still will put a 60amp fuse after the 100amp, because if the 100amp blows, then it looks like I have to replace the entire plate.

Sorry to bring up an old thread. I am in the process of adding some LED strips to the bed of my 2019 Silverado and am going to be running 12 volt power from the battery back to the bed. Under the batter cover within the distribution block there is already a space accessory stud/terminal. Could this be repositioned and then used to mount the ring terminals for 12 volt power? Also, would it be fine to have the wires coming off the terminal to have an inline fuse on the battery end rather than connecting the additional stud with a fuse? It looks like there is an exact spot to relocate this additional terminal to and all that would be needed is the nut and a washer to go on top. I stole a screen shot of the above photo to indicate what I am talking about.

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Does anyone know where the number one wire leads to? I’ve had to replace my distribution block two times now within a year and the number one is the one that keeps blowing. 2020 Silverado lt 2.7

I know it's an old topic, but just wondering if you got any closure on this.

 

I'm still looking for the square head bolts that go through the assembly which to attach your cable to.

Even if you find them, it's not going to do you any good as you also need the top plate which is riveted in place. Only other option is to drill a hole in the existing metal plate and then run a fuse of whatever kind there and bolt it to the plate. I have a winch I'm going to be installing and have been trying to figure out how to wire it and include a 500 amp circuit breaker.

GM sells this kit, part number 84669070, that adds a couple fused studs on the 'Battery Distribution Unit'.  It is included with the Upfitter Switch kit and as part of the 'Snow Plow Prep' option.  There is a Tech Bulletin explaining the kit.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
