i bought my truck used and it came with the backflip vp. I know it is hard to see from this pic, but wanted to know if anyone has had this one for several years? How well does the vinyl cover hold up over time? is it going to fade out, dry up,crack and flap in the wind? it looks just like the regular backflip g2 from the underside from what i can tell.

i would just hate for it to start looking like a ragged out convertible top like you see on cars flopping around going down the highway.

maybe i'm way over thinking it...i do park it in the garage fyi

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

Yes, I've had the the Bakflip VP on my truck for 19 months. It is much like the G2, except it does have the vinyl cover attached to the top. I park in the garage as well...it has not cracked or faded, but I do keep it clean and conditioned with 303 Protectorant to keep it soft and plyable. The only issue I had was it was a little stiff in the winter when I folded if, but so was my Bakflip F1 on my older truck. Here is mine...

I went to the local truck accessory shop today and had a good discussion with the owner. Apparently, Undercover is slowly buying the competition....Gator, Extang and Bak have all been bought out by Undercover.

You're on the right track...

 

Every company you named, including UnderCover, is owned by a holding company called THI. You can find their web site at thicorp.com

Currently running the Access Vanish on my truck, like it a lot so far. No winter temps to deal with down here though, so I can't vouch for it in those conditions.

I put a tonno pro hard fold on my sierra this week in place of the undercover flex, I got sick of the flex leaking. I did prefer the look of the flex to some extent because of the low profile however, it wasn't worth the sacrifice of the leaks.

I'm still waiting to see the truxedo titanium... They said they have a few more new products coming out soon. If they keep taking forever, I'll get a deuce again.

This thing was announced TWO YEARS ago. They have installation videos and reviews, but no product? Given that THI owns both Bak and Truxedo (along with a bunch of others), the Titanium seems like it's nothing more than a re-branded Bak Roll-X. And believe me... I am SO done with Bak. Pretty leery of any of their other companies, too.

I know... They told me it was still in development.

I don't agree that it's a re-branded BAK based on the video's it operates just like a low pro in the latching system an the velcro on the sides. I bet it will be pricey though.I love the idea of the revolver and titanium but, BAK has such a bad reputation.

Judging solely by looks this looks identical to my Access Vanish. If they are actually the same, it'd be interesting for those looking to check the price on both before purchasing.

Okay guys, I'm striking out on tonneau's for my '14. I tried the undercover flex for about 18 months but, it was not water resistant enough for my liking. I have now had two tonno pro hard fold's both work OK but, they can't seem to get the hinges right and the cover won't lay flat so I've got a huge hump on the side of the cover and the wind noise from the vinyl flapping against the aluminum chassis kinda sucks too so I am thinking of returning both the original and the replacement that Tonno Pro sent me.

 

My priorities are;

 

#1 mostly water resistant, if it sits in a down pour for 10 hours I can tolerate a few drops but, not a few cups of water.

#1.5 Must be some kind of 'hard cover' for security.

#2 Bed access, I either need to be able to roll or fold up the cover to get most of the bed open, like a roll-x or bakflip kind of cover or the cover needs to be easily removed like a tonno pro hard fold or extang solid fold.

#3 I don't want to spend more than $7-800ish if I can help it.

 

Here is a pic of the hinge miss-alignment on the tonnopro:

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      Winter Returned

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
