Expert Reply:
The 12 volt accessory pin on the 7-way of your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 should have constant power, though there isn't truly a universal maximum sustained output.
If you are using the 7-Function Digital Multimeter # PT89ZR for example, and are getting a consistent reading that is 12 volts or something close then everything is working as intended. There will, of course, be a bit of fluctuation but you should expect a reading that is constantly in the 12 volt range.
