There is a recall for certain 2025 trucks for missing owners manual More info here: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2025/12/chevy-silverado-recalled-for-missing-owners-manual/

I would REALLY like to be able to open the cover while the kayaks are on the racks; Has anyone tried the KB Voodoo Max Modular Utility Rack? It's claimed to work with the Diamondback cover and still allow the cover to open. Link to website: https://www.max-modular.com/ford-f35...tonneau-covers Or the TRUKD 24.5" Bed Rack? Website: https://gettrukd.com/products/trukd-...42987764580528

I'm shopping for a cover that is strong enough to stand on and can be used with (removable) racks. The racks would be used for kayaks (2) and would not be left on year round. The Diamondback HD with the Yakima rack system is currently my top pick. Link to Diamond HD: https://diamondbackcovers.com/produc...nt=28732457161 Link to Yakima Rack System: https://diamondbackcovers.com/produc...39663404417123 I'm hoping some current/past owners will share their experience and what they consider to be pros & cons These things are not what I would consider cheap ($3,948); are they worth the price?

I wonder if adding a lubricant to the fuel would extend the life of these pumps? Something like Lucas Oil Complete Fuel Treatment, Marvel Mystery Oil, or Sea Foam? https://www.lucasoil.com/product/fuel-treatments/ https://marvelmysteryoil.com/products/marvel-mystery-oil https://seafoamworks.com/sea-foam-motor-treatment-oil-fuel-additive/

Nice! No problems just tying kayaks to racks? Racks are stout enough not to flex and buffet at freeway speeds without a strap from bow to front of truck?

Thank you very much for the additional picture, I really appreciate that. It doesn't look like the base rails interfere with the tonneau cover at all, they must be fastened to the stake pockets? I've seen some rack bases that clamp to the inside bed rail where most tonneau covers get clamped, which then interferes with the cover. That set-up you have looks really good.

That looks like a great set-up! I'll definitely be checking that out. Is it fairly easy to remove racks when not needed?

#1 Chevrolet Protection Plan is the extended warranty Since I live South of the border I'm used to thinking in miles. I'm going to need my calculator. If I'm converting properly, 100,000 Kilometers = a little over 62,000 miles. So 7 years or 62,000 miles. If you don't drive a lot you could be covered for 7 years. I drive roughly 12,000 miles (19,312 kilometers) per year so that warranty would only last me a bit over 5 years. So not great for me but could be good for you. You should have a contract that looks like this: https://www.chevrolet.com/content/dam/chevrolet/na/us/english/index/owners/warranty/06-pdfs/CHVSC_230524_SAMPLE.pdf It lists everything that is covered and what isn't. #2 Chevrolet Pre-Paid Maintenance basically means you paid up front for a specific number of oil and oil filter changes and tire rotations. I do my own maintenance so I haven't read the specifics of this plan. I was able to find a sample contract. You should have been given a contract that looks like this: https://www.chevrolet.com/content/dam/chevrolet/na/us/english/index/owners/warranty/02-pdfs/chevrolet-pre-paid-maintenance-sample-contracts-2-10-2022.pdf It should say how many oil changes you paid for. If it were me, and I was only driving about 14,000 kilometers per year, I would change the oil twice per year. So if you bought a 7 year (84 month) plan I would think your contract would be for about 14 oil changes. I included links to sample contracts for reference but I highly recommend reading the contracts you were given carefully and make sure they will work well for you. Now for my fine print; I can't guarantee my conversions are correct. Everything here is opinion and should be treated as such. I do not claim to be a professional (anything) nor do I claim to be intelligent.

It is an option on gas trucks, uses cruise control to set it. Sorry I have no idea about adding on to truck not ordered with it

Have you tried this https://www.gmparts.com/technical-resources/service-repair-manuals website yet? It's only $22 for three days. Can do a lot of copying or printing in 3 days. Paper manuals usually aren't available until a vehicle has been out a few years and then they are usually around $300 - $600. I have not tried the GM online manual (yet) but I have used the Honda online manual and it is identical to the paper manual. I am very glad these online manuals are available, so much cheaper.

Happy to assist. If you bought the top level (Platinum?) coverage it does cover a lot, but not as much as the factory 3/36. Depending on what you paid it may be worth the peace of mind. I'm currently shopping for myself and the best price I've found so far is $3,209. That's for the top coverage for 8 years, 100,000 miles, zero deductible. There are many time/mileage/deductible options. Haven't decided yet what I'm going to do but I'm leaning toward not getting the extended warranty...

Couple of great reviews here, hopefully others will share their experiences as well, extremely helpful to hear honest feedback after the honeymoon stage is over for those of us that are still in the shopping stage...

If you bought the actual GM warranty, "Chevrolet Protection Plan", I believe there is a 30 day full refund period and then a prorated refund after 30 days. There is info here: https://www.chevrolet.com/protection-plans/chevrolet-platinum-protection And all the fine print is here: https://www.chevrolet.com/content/dam/chevrolet/na/us/english/index/owners/warranty/06-pdfs/CHVSC_230524_SAMPLE.pdf

You can access the GM service manual online for a fee. $22 for three days. This is what I intend to do (after I get my truck) Here's a link; https://www.gmparts.com/technical-resources/service-repair-manuals

I had asked the dealer to send me some specific details about the warranty and just received an email a few minutes ago. He didn't send anything that tells me what's covered and what isn't, so I replied back asking for more. What he did say is that 72 month is the longest they offer and a 72 month, 60,000 mile warranty is $3,200! And the time/miles start at time of vehicle purchase, so it's really a 36 month 24,000 mile warranty. Sorry, I'm not spending $3,200 for 3 years and 24,000 miles of coverage. I've got more looking to do.....
