This started happening to me a couple of months ago. I figured I would have to reconfigure my phone with the truck and was just waiting for an open day to do that. Did this "change language" thing instead and now I can make calls from my truck again! Bert

Interesting read! http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/gm-to-add-or-keep-7-000-jobs-make-us-1b-factory-investment-1.3244330 An earlier version of the story specifically mentions GM bringing in-house the manufacturing of axles for full-sized pickups. Perhaps they have figured something out. Bert

Just trying to educate myself here but what are the downsides to using "non-lug centric" style lug nuts to prevent pulling the wheel off center to the hub? Thanks Bert

Hi there I've just completed a 3 week, 5,000 km trip towing a 8,500lb 28 ft trailer with my 14 CC with max tow (which includes the integrated brake controller). I did the same trip 10 years ago with a 3,500lb 21 ft trailer and a 2000 Astro van with an aftermarket, time-based brake controller. I LOVE the integrated brake controller. Braking was so smooth it was difficult to tell that I had a trailer behind me. With the previous aftermarket controller I always had to worry about long braking distances and locking my trailer tires. Not once on the recent trip did I have that concern. For me, I will not go back to an aftermarket controller. Bert

Like pjb0422 I ordered mine direct from the factory and they shipped it to Canada no problem. Price was $820 plus shipping which put it right in the middle of 2 price quotes I got locally. But both local dealers tried to talk me out of it because they didn't want the hassle of placing an order when they had another brand that would fit my CC in stock. The excuses they gave were lame too! One said it was too heavy for one person to fold open without getting into the truck, the other said it was too light for our winter climate!!! I much prefer to support local businesses but not when they try to screw me over! The cover works great. You'll enjoy it! Bert

Hi there Looking at the G4 Elite from Fold A Cover for my 14 Silverado CC short bed. I've been to one dealer in town and they tried talking me out of it because they said the panels were heavy and that I'd have to get into the bed to fold up the 2nd and 3rd panels. They are too heavy to fold up when standing beside the truck. Can anyone here confirm if the panels really are too heavy to fold up from beside the truck? Thanks
