This thread was really helpful to me in deciding which cover to get....and I wanted to post back once I got my Revolver X2 installed.   It is everything I hoped it would be....just perfect !   No

I had a soft tonneau cover on mine, came with the truck when I got it. I was a pain in the neck to take on and off. I got sick and tired of that and just picked up a really nice tool box instead. Much

anyone know if a cover off a 2012 short box will fit my 2014 short box?

not sure if the box size changed at all in the last 2 yrs?

The trifecta trifold off my 2012 6.5' bed is on my 2014 6.5' bed right now, it fits great… But it depends on the style of the tonneau cover, mine is the easy remove kind that has no rails to install, I just put the cover on, screw down to clamps, then fold the cover down and latch the back…

I ended up ordering the extang undercover flex, free install and it goes in tomorrow morning. Spent a lot more on it than i wanted to pay for a cover but that seems to be how I've been doing everything the last couple months.

I really need something that is locking and not easy to break into, it's got to lock hunting gear In it.

I was thinking about batting this cover. How do you like it? Any complaints?

I like it a lot, it covers well, and it removes fast for when I need the full use of the bed….

i really considered going with a fiberglass cover, but my last one got scratched up.

what brand did you get? raider? mine was lowrider, more smooth looking style than raider, but i think the latches you loose quality over raider.

It's a Undercover Lux SE. It's not made of ABS composite material aka polymer. I didn't want fiberglass for the exact reason that you stated. I love it so far. It isn't to heavy and simple to remove.

My father has one on his 2009 Silverado. Both rear hinges have broken in the middle. He hasn't replaced them yet since he doesn't consider it a problem. I think replacements are $50 each or so.

The Extang Trifecta has a limited lifetime warranty on the frame including the hinges.

Undercover flex part #11019

i just got the same cover today, you may want to check where your drain tubes are routed to.

i noticed you have the locking rod on the panel closest to the cab, and for some reason i have the slam latches on all 3 panels....design change maybe?

Undercover changed the design. All panels are slam latch now.

Is it possible that any of the covers can be used with a rack also? I see that some of them leave the stake holes mostly uncovered, but not sure if there is enough clearance to make it work. Just curious

Bak Industries (aka Bakflip models) and Pace Edwards models have an integrated rack that can be purchased separately with a special track to accommodate the rack. There may be others. My concern of using a standard rack with a cover and track is how much space the track takes up on the top of the bed rail and how much it needs for the rack stakes or around the rack stakes. The stake holes may be accessible, but not much more than that.

 

Here's some examples in the Canoe/Kayak thread. In the Fourth post you can see the Invis-I-Rack as an example.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
