  1. Just swapped out the midnight edition 18's for these 20's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. My 18's ride pretty nice for an HD truck. I run about 50psi in them when not loaded and this makes a significant difference. I'm planning to move to 20's and intend to run similar pressure in those too, in hopes that the ride will not suffer dramatically beyond what it is like now. Any of these trucks that you run the full load pressure on will ride awful when empty. Regardless of tire size. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Came to the conclusion a long time ago that I'll never keep my vehicles as clean as if like. That's why I stopped buying black trucks. See how well that worked out for me now dontcha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Man I hear ya. It's just nuts. I too have had the TSB performed (much better, but not good enough). I'm even toying with the idea of trading in my '15 Sierra for a '16. Just crested 10k miles. I can't believe these lights passed modern safety standards. My '77 corvette had better headlights that the halogen projector setup in these trucks. And I know there are ways to improve it (HID conversions, etc), but why should I have to do that these days. Fix these headlights GM. Grrrr!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I sure wish General Motors had considered this update when they released the 2014 trucks. My 2015 Sierra's lights are crap! And I've had the technical service bulletin and performed. They are certainly better, but much less than satisfactory to me. Any idea if the 2016 lights will fit in the headlight and fog light areas on the 2015's? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I have the 6.5' bed. Had an Undercover Flex. Damn thing leaked like a civ. Front, rear, hinges, joints between panels and frame. Everywhere. Took it back, and now have an Undercover SE one piece hard cover. Not as sleek as the flush mounts, but works and looks decent enough. I also have a bedrug, and it makes for a great trunk for when the wife wants to load it up with luggage, and a great truck bed when I want to load it up with 6x6 posts from Home Depot.

  7. Went back to the shop I bought my Flex from, and told the guy about how bad it leaked. He opened it up to take a look, and water was still dripping out of all the seams where the panels meet the metal seal/hinge holding pieces. They are warranty returning to Undercover for me and ordering me an SE hard tonneau. Not what I wanted to do, but I need it to stay dry on my road trips. And I'll just take it off when tooling around town. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Just got back from a 400 mile trip with my Undercover Flex. Torrential downpour for first hour of second leg resulted in very wet bed. Appears to have entered from the cab side and the tailgate area. Not impressed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. So, I finally bit the bullet on an Undercover Flex. Knowing full well that it likely would not be water tight. And of course, it's barely rained all summer, and this week the bottom fell out on us here in the ATL. Good hard downpours everyday, at some point, for the last 4 days. As expected, I suffered some water intrusion. And it was all in the corners. I'm not surprised at all by the tailgate intrusion. The gaps between the tailgate and the body of the bed are so massive that I don't know how I'm going to seal that up. I climbed in the bed and closed the gate with the tonneau closed, and couldn't believe how much light I could see coming through the tailgate gap. Anyway, moving onto the cover itself. It's okay in its design, and I would say of average build quality. There are a good few spots of glue that seeped out of their crevasses, and what appears to be dumdum (black sticky stuff) sealing the panels together, that sticks to the rubber seal like gum when you open it after it's been baking in our hot GA sunshine. The biggest area I see that needs improvement is the ends where the top meets the bed caps. There's nothing applying any substantial pressure to the rubber seals, so the seals don't seal very well. The corners are the worst. Mainly because they aren't really finished, and the shape of the cut end of the seal doesn't meet the bed cap at all. I installed a front rail cap to help make up for the height differential, and ended up with foam tape on the tonneau seal also. The front rail cap I bought is the BAK PCBHP3, and I'm not very happy with it. It's a different color and texture, despite saying OEM look, and it's too narrow at the ends which flares it out at the sides. But it was $38 and will have to do until I can find something better (which I'm struggling to do). All in all I'm happy with the look of the tonneau on the truck. I had decided on a hard, over cap, tonneau, but when I went to the store, I just didn't like how they met the bed, or how they looked (lower edges are too straight cut, should be rolled and tighter fitting I think). I also really wanted something I could flip out of the way if I wanted to carry something tall in the bed. I'm debating making some modifications to improve upon the ends where the tonneau meets the bulkhead and tailgate. But we'll see. I'll post again if I come up with anything useful. Anyways. For now, here it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. So you're pulling that monster TT without a WDH?? Man, if I put my 35' on my 1500 w/o a WDH, the rear squats and she looks old she's ready to take flight. Those 2500's are amazing. My '07's like that. Same 2.5" receiver, and even with a bed full of crap, barely notices a trailer. Then again, when it's empty, it rides like it has a solid suspension.

  11. Hooked up and ready to roll this past Saturday night. Took the new love shack on her inaugural journey. 100miles round trip. Going to do another couple like that before taking her to the in-laws at the end of the month a couple hundred miles away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
