Thanks   I was looking at some of the 110V to 12V adapters as well.  It’s kinda like adding insult to injury. LOL.  I’ll be wiring in a 12V adapter I guess so I can use both 110v and 12V simultaneously.  Just like the trucks in Jan 2022 were built to do.

You realize that your opinion isn't the only reasonable opinion?  Some of us would rather have an outlet than to have a converter.

That is pretty disappointing.  Don't all modern radar detectors still use them?  I have mine hard-wired in one of my cars, but I use the 12v plug when I want to use it to another vehicle.

12v to 110 or USB converter and this is a non-issue. I have even linked one for your convenience.

This is actually a nice suggestion on some levels.   Essentially this is a cheap buck boost transformer with a USB port.   I may even order one and try it out but I can already warn you.   USB is only 5V.    So this may work for a very low amperage tool like a radar detector.   I would expect it may burn out if used with a higher amperage tool like a tire inflator/compressor, which I always have handy in the truck.

Who cares about the loss of a 12V outlet you ask?  I could only answer, Not you.   LOL

@JS1You could always do the 110v to a 12v

I would hope that if you bought a $60,000 truck you could afford a new tire inflator / compressor...

At this point you are in the minority. 

Just like how a lot of guys voice their opinion about a RCSB truck with a 6.2 or even a 5.3, me being one of those guys.

Everyone votes with their wallets.  On this thread, you seem to be the minority.  But really... "who cares lol?".  I see people offering help by providing a link to converters but that doesn't mean they think JS1 is foolish for wanting 12v built in.

 

If my '22 had a 12v connection, I'd probably only use it a handful of times.  Had it not been for this thread, I'd probably have grabbed my radar detector on my way out the door of a long trip and not realized I didn't have a port.  Thanks to JS1, now I know I have to buy a converter and give up some console space.

Obviously I am in the minority of the thread that's sole purpose is to mention they don't have a 12v and ask the GM gods why...

 

Quote where I called him foolish. I can understand why you may want a 12v but GM doesn't care about that.

 

I don't think this is a push towards electric vehicles I think that GM probably just looked around and noticed most people aren't using the 12v outlet like they have in the past. Especially now that USB and 110v ports have become so prevalent in vehicles the 12v is really on the way out.

Or maybe a $60-$70k truck should come with a $2 12v outlet.....

That's mostly what it comes down to.  Same reason CD players disappeared from vehicles.  USBs, iPods, phones, streaming.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
