  1. Roll up Velcro gets old quick, not just metaphorically but literally too. I live in Florida so the cold climate part I am not an expert in. The problem with most roll ups is that they require small support beams to hold everything up and eventually snow will be too much. Here in Florida we only see torrential down pours so they quickly flow off. I prefer the roll up kind that does not snap or Velcro. The brand i prefer and have used is only available on eBay currently(i'd post a link but my work computer blocks ebay). "Advanation" is their eBay store name. I have had 3 of their cheapest tops, $120, on 3 different trucks and the top outlasted my relationship with the prior 2 trucks. I did have a trip up north once and came outside to 6 inches of snow on my tonneau and that was help up just fine. That being said, i also have gained interest in these newer tri-fold tonneaus i just have not purchased one yet. My judgement was clouded by prior experience instead of checking reviews to see if their was just another way. Anyway my friend has this cover and its pretty sweet and has great reviews, all while being cheap. https://www.amazon.com/Tyger-Auto-TG-BC3C1006-2014-2016-Silverado/dp/B00L32L4A4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482500999&sr=8-1&keywords=silverado+2014+tri+fold
  2. I am dead set on it being some kind of exhaust leak. Doesn't do it at idle, only does it while cruising on the freeway and adding certain amount of power. Too little power and there is no issue, too much power and it down shifts and you cant hear it. Fuel pumps run constantly so they wouldn't change with rpm. Lifter noise often doesn't get worse with load, but gets worse when unloaded(decel). I have a friend with a 9 gas analyzer and i have the resources to NDT(non-destructive test) any components i remove. I bet there is a tiny crack somewhere(only expands when hot), or a loose component.
  3. To start, shortly after I bought my truck I had to bring it back for work that had to do exhaust. I assume they checked extensively for exhaust leaks and other things while they were searching for the issue(10 days), but anyways. The issue is around the exhaust. Sometimes while driving i hear what sounds like an exhaust leak. I dont recall ever hearing the actual engine in the cab before my ordeal. I could hear the tailpipe sounds when merging onto the freeway and accelerating, however i hear ticks around the footwell and im not sure it if is normal. I know what the direct injection ticking sounds like, and it doesnt sound like that. Does anyone else hear the engine/exhaust while just cruising in the cabin? Before taking my truck in i had only driven it 400 miles, so i really dont have enough experience to answer my own question. truck is a 2016 Silverado LT 5.3, everything is stock.
