Chevrolet Silverado: Electrical System / Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination
of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of damage caused
by electrical problems.
Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are marked with their ampere rating.
Do not exceed the specified amperage rating when replacing fuses and circuit
breakers. Use of an oversized fuse or circuit breaker can result in a vehicle fire.
You and others could be seriously injured or killed.
To check a fuse, look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad fuse with a new
one of the identical size and rating.
Fuses of the same amperage can be temporarily borrowed from another fuse location,
if a fuse goes out. Replace the fuse as soon as possible.
The vehicle has fuses to protect against an electrical system overload. Fuses
also protect power devices in the vehicle.
Replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating...
If the vehicle has a diesel engine, see the Duramax diesel supplement.
The engine compartment fuse block is in the engine compartment, on the passenger
side of the vehicle for 1500 and driver side of vehicle for 2500/3500...

Premium unleaded gasoline meeting ASTM specification D4814 with a posted octane
rating of 93 — (R+M)/2 — is highly recommended for best performance and fuel economy.
Unleaded gasoline with an octane rated as low as 87 can be used. Using unleaded
gasoline rated below 93 octane, however, will lead to reduced acceleration and fuel
economy...
