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

Is anybody using a toolbox under their tonneau cover? I was thinking about something similar to this: http://www.lowes.com/pd_445705-47999-TB-30_1z0wcmy__?productId=50114543&pl=1

 

The only problem with that is securing it.

You have about 21" of clearance under the tonneau cover. Home Depot has the best option for a mobile job box that is water tight and can be padlocked however it is too tall (23"). http://thd.co/1nnJUvh

 

The next best option is this thing. You can tuck 2 side by side between the wheel wells under a locking tonneau.

Hello, I'm new here. :) I have a 2015 Silverado short bed, and I'm looking for a tonneau cover, the idea is to stay with a Chevrolet one, I saw on the Chevrolet website that they have a hard folding and a soft folding, but from the picture there is difficult to understand the difference, actually it seems the same photo on both. I wonder if you guys that have one of this two cover can post a picture so it make more clear. Thanks!

Got my bak roll-x in this week, it's a great looking cover but it needs a better seal at the bulkhead there is a good bit of space there. I was going to get the vp but I liked the idea of rolling it up instead.

I have a GMC Brand Tonneau, part number 23462051. The issue I'm having is the clamp is broken. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can get a replacement clamp?

 

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Peter

The covers are made by third parties.

If you show a picture of the clamp maybe someone will recognize the piece and suggest a manufacturer that uses same part. Then you should be able order a spare from them.

Hey Money,

I notice some puckering of the side seals on your cover. I suspect you took the pictures right after you installed the coved and that it probably came rolled up. Now that they've had a couple days in the sun to relax, have the puckers gone away? The reason I ask is because I'm thinking hard about getting the Revolver X2. I really like the concept.

 

Are you happy with your cover so far? Was it easy to install?

 

By the way, looks good.

 

Thanks.

Yeah it was taken right after I installed it, it was easy to install I did it myself in about an hour and that included taking my tool box off by myself. The seals haven't settled yet but my truck sits in the carport all week I only drive it on the weekends so it may take awhile to settle. The instructions said you can speed the process with a heat gun though.

FYI

Realtruck and BAK industries have this cover for $699.00 while supplies last. I guess they're closing them out now that the Revolver X2 is out.

I went with this box from Northern Tool. Even with some 1" redwood bolted to the bottom to keep the box off of the bed it still fits under the tonneau cover.

I bought an Extang Black Max tonneau for my truck. $259 I think from Amazon. Sure it doesn't have any features, but I'm using it for keeping stuff out of the bed and don't need it to come on and off fast.

 

It's got a 10 year warranty on the vinyl and lifetime on the aluminum parts. Installs in about 30 minutes. The snaps on the cover are metal but the snaps that are on the rails are plastic now, my old Extangs were metal/metal.

 

Please excuse the ice on the cover, it was 20 this morning when I left the house.

And this is how it attaches under the rails.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
