anyone else have issue with soft/hard tri-fold GMC cover leaking. Mine seems to leek at the tailgate. I've had it readjusted and the dealer has no answer.

 

Currently have the tri-fold hard cover vinyl.

 

Thanks.

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

I recently bought a used GM Tri-fold soft/hard cover. I've run the truck through two car washes and have had no leaks so far. The person I bought it off of was changing it out for a quad fold that he could open front and read of the bed. Really pleased with this top.

I'm guessing from what I seen in a pic, its a little too short & needs to be cheated to the back a little to get a good seal on the tailgate.

Looked like the rear stake pockets was not totally covered...so its too short!

That's exactly what I said to the dealer.

 

The end doesn't quite flap over the tailgate. I will just adjust on my own. Wasn't sure if it was a defect and needed replacement under warranty.

I like mine (Retrax Pro) and search around/contemplated many include fiberglass covers. Elected to go with the Pro and purchased it direct from Retrax, managing to negotiate it down to wholesale cost. Took about to hours to install. Easy, Efficient, works great.

Rewillia, the Retrax Pro is going on my 2015 Silverado when it comes in September. They are pricy but the best on the market. I had one on my 2003 Silverado for years before I ruined it hauling sand that got into the ball bearings. I still have the 03 Z71 that will haul things. The new brownstone LTZ CC Z71 will NEVER see building materials. F-5

Put on a Leer 700 tonneau cover and a bed rug.

Anybody have the measurements for the Chevy tri-folds?

length & width?

Can someone with the Chevy soft tri-fold please measure the width & length please!

Thanks!

Mine covers the stake holes and I have to lift it up slightly to gee the tail gate to close. It sounds like you have a cover for a shorter bed. I can get you pictures and measurements this evening.

I currently have an Extang Trifecta on my 2015 All Terrain. I like the fact that it's easy to install and uninstall. I DO NOT like how it bows in at the front hinge. When I got the cover I sent Extang an email about the hinge pads not being installed properly. They were sitting on top of the weatherstripping creating a bulge in the cover. Waited a few days and never heard anything so I called. The guy goes through his emails and found it. I had attached photos of the pads and of how it bowed at the front hinge. He said that it was normal. He did send new pads for the the hinges. It looks almost like the cover is too tight at the front hinges. Not at all happy with it but I'm outside my 30 days with Autoanything and Extang doesn't act like it's a problem.

 

I had another brand tri-fold on my 2011 Silverado and it wasn't this way and cost half as much. I just didn't like the way the rear latches were They were bad about scratching the bed rail covers up.

I am still happy with my TonnoPro Hard fold. Not the best looking cover but, it keeps my bed dry.

Hello all, new guy here to the forum;

Am about to make the investment here. Just undecided. I had a Fold - A - Cover on my '03. Hurricane Katrina stole it from me. I had no other issues with it. I then installed a Roll -N- Lock M series, absolutey loved it. I looked through this entire thread and could not find any good pictures of how the Fold-A-Cover sits over the "grab handle pockets" on the rear of the bed. I also dont want to cover up the Chevrolet logo on the bed caps. I am also interested in the Retrax but it looks like the grab handle pockets are covered by some models and not others. If anybody has any good pics of the grab handle pockets and the Chevrolet logos that arent covered by their tonneau's please post. Keep in mind I am looking for a hard roll up (can type) or folding but not the Bak Flip type that stands up against the back window, thanks in advance.

The Retrax covers can be ordered with the stake pockets cut out of the rails. It's the only cover brand on the market that I know that will do that.

 

The Undercover Flex is similar to the Bakflips, but it stands vertically instead of leaning against the cab.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.

      That makes sense, and I agree with most of that.   I think the product would need both: 1. a default powertrain template, so it is useful out of the box; 2. user-selected priority parameters, so the owner or shop can choose what they want to see first.   Different users are going to care about different things. One owner may care about oil pressure and voltage. Another may care about misfire trend, AFM/DFM behavior, or U-codes. A shop may want communication events and repeatability first. Your baseline point is probably the most important one. Raw data is not very useful unless the report can show what normal looked like for that vehicle under similar conditions.   The way I would think about it is: - start with a basic known-good baseline - learn normal behavior for that specific vehicle over time - allow the event to be overlaid against baseline - show whether the event was a one-time spike or a repeatable pattern - provide a simple severity level, but with clear limits on what that severity means   For example, early severity could be something like: - Info: event captured, no obvious abnormal pattern - Watch: value moved outside baseline, but not repeated - Warning: repeatable abnormal pattern under similar conditions - Critical: communication loss, voltage drop, bus-off, reset, or severe repeated event   I would not want the first version to say “replace this part.” That would be overclaiming unless there is repair-confirmed data behind it. It would be more honest to say “this pattern deserves inspection.”   On the OBD port question, I think OBD absolutely has a role. OBD is probably the right place for: - DTCs - freeze frame - VIN - calibration information - normal scan-tool parameters - Mode 6 / enhanced diagnostic data if available The reason I am still looking at an ECM-side recorder is that the failure may happen before anyone connects a scan tool. If the owner plugs in a scanner after the event, the pre-event evidence may already be gone unless the ECU happened to save it. So I do not see this as “OBD versus ECM-side.” I see it more like: - ECM-side recorder: always armed, rolling buffer, event evidence - OBD/DLC companion: DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration, normal scan data - phone/cloud: status, notes, upload, report generation, notifications   I agree that phone connection and push notifications would be useful. I just would not want the phone or cloud connection to be required for capture. The recorder should save the event locally even if the phone is not connected. The phone should help with event marking, download, notes, upload, alerts, and report viewing.   For a default GM V8 event report, would this list make sense? - RPM - calculated load / MAP - throttle position - vehicle speed - gear / torque converter state if available - coolant temperature - oil pressure - oil temperature if available - battery voltage - commanded AFM/DFM state if available - actual AFM/DFM state if available - misfire counters / roughness by cylinder if available - fuel trims - relevant U-codes / communication events - bus-off / lost periodic message / module reset / voltage drop events Which of those would you remove, and what would you add?
