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.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?
