    Just curious what you guys are using the AC outlet for. It doesn't seem all that powerful but I'd to see if people have been doing anything interesting with it?

    It's a work in progress. See my build thread.
    Not even sure if mine works. Haven't turned it on yet.

    I have used mine a few times to pump up air mattresses. Im going to put a power station with a couple of usb ports and a cigarette lighter port in the bed that is on at the flip of a switch instead of depending on the accessory switch which turns itself off after a short time.

    I bought my truck new in 07. Tried it a few times at first and have found few things it helped with. About the only useful thing I've ever did with it was charge my cell phone once on vacation when I left the car charger in another car.

    I run my dremel off of it. Paired with an extension cord, it's very handy for modding the truck

    I know, that´s why I mentioned it.
    There is nothing wrong with Bruce, he has had quite the journey through life.

    Our area had a scheduled power outage for maintenance.

    I plugged my coffee maker in, for some reason, the coffee maker kept turning off... any ideas why? is there a breaker or reason why?

    The power button light in the cab stayed on, but I had shut it off, then back on, to get coffee maker back on...
