Richard,
In your first post you gave part # 19303228 as 20 amp for style fuse you are looking for. GM description of that # is an M-case fuse. M-case fuse in 30 amp is # 19119330
(pink) if that's any help.

Rick I just ordered two from napa to have on shelf. I told the napa store to stock one also.. thanks for the tidbit.

Sounds like engineering dollars well spent at GM, since everyone knows that all the previous fuse designs are rubbish.
Me thinks that a few entrenched engineers are trying hard to justify keeping their jobs.

They don't even bother redesigning bulbs and blades, just change the numbers

Only two scenarios here. Patent rights and an unquenchable desire to bury the dealers in inventory.
