Evaluating bedcover for my 2011 Denali - I like the folding type similar to what was on the Avalanche. Does anyone have experience with FLIPBAK products??

I have the BackFlip G2 installed on my 2011 Denali. It's an awesome cover that is better than the Avalanche (traded one in for the Denali)

 

It sits flush to the bed and is easy to open and close.

 

I had Zeibart order and install mine for around $800

I owned a bakflip a couple of years ago. Now I have a fold-a-cover. The bakflip was nice but the latching mechanism was very weak. The fold-a-cover is much more secure.

I have the trifold GM tonneau cover but one thing I really like about this over the one I have is that when folded back it stands up to give you full access to the bed. That would come in handy when loading and unloading stuff as well as when at the drive in where I usually throw an air mattress in the back of my truck but when I do that I have to remove my tonneau cover.

 

Not a big deal but I like how it's flush with the top of the bed but then that might cut back on my bed space slightly which could make a big difference on a camping trip....Especially if there are a couple of women with you. :)

they're super cool in a few years when all the seals between the panels rip apart :)

 

 

they changed their seals to a better grade material. the Gen 1 covers had problems, but they don't sell it anymore.

according to their website they are made of EPDM rubber which doesn't fade or crack over time. EPDM Wikipedia Source

I have a Extang "Trifecta" tri fold. I love it. easy to remove, no permanent attachments required. comes in a smooth vinyl or a fabric top (like a car's soft top)

I've had the BakFlip HD on my 2008 Sierra for two years now.

I'm quite pleased with it and the seals have (so far) held up to the Arizona Sun.

The rubber is still quite pliable which is quite amazing as my truck sits outside constantly.

Same with my Bakflip G2...two summers of AZ heat and still holding up well!

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
