I am looking for a hard tonneau cover for my truck and was wondering what you guys think. I currently have an Extang Blackmax, but I'm looking to upgrade. I need something that is removable so that I can get my motorcycle in the bed. I am looking at the Gaylord X2000. Does anybody have one of these? I am also looking at SnugTop and ARE. I want something that goes over the rail and over the factory tailgate "wing" if possible. I looked at the Rolltop but I would lose too much bed room. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have the Access and it is great...I like the tension adjusters that keep the top tight and it fits right down on the tailgate. My 2 cents.......  :(

I just put on  a sportmaster tonneau, it has the gas shocks and it is easy to take off, I have the cut down version as I have a tool box in the short box , looks good, have a guy at work who put on the extang and it has no snaps, a real nice sleak look, but a bad idea for cold weather, hard to get it back into the groove, I'd still spring for the snap type, the hinge up type works nice, never buy one that is stationary, as we all will need to get in there once in a while.

I went with the Access tonnneau cover and glad I did.  It survived 2 winters in Alaska and still looks great.  I've had know piled up even wiht the top of my cab and the cover held up nice.   :(

I have an Access Cover and love it. It seems like you are wanting a hard cover, so I would reccomend the Gaylord. A lot of the members at Fordtruckword.com have the Gaylord and swear by it. Everyone seems to be happy with the fit, finish and quality.

I've got a "Lowrider" Tannoe cover for my stepside and I love it. It goes over everything that you wanted and it has the gas shocks and what not. One other thing I like about it is it has one lock in the center instead of two locks on the two sides. My dad is actually the one who found it, I think he got it from Prestige Auto or something on the internet...

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
