G4 elite owners,

 

Does this fit with the factory rail caps installed or do you have to modify/cut them to get the striking plates to attach to the bed?

 

UPDATE:

 

From foldacover,

 

The G4 Elite was designed to fit right over top of your plastic rail caps.

The spray-in bedliner is not thick enough to interfere with installation

I actually ordered a Leer Trilogy the other day from a local dealer after seeing pictures of it installed on other 2014/2015 GM trucks.

 

I am looking to buy this tonneau as well. Just curious what it costed?

Dealer was selling it for $800.00 and there is/was a coupon on Leer's site for $50.00 off. This is US dollars and I see you are in Canada, so I am uncertain what the pricing is.

Did you look at the ReTraxx?

Didn't see it. Good?

Looks nice, but did more checking tonight and the reviews aren't too good. I'm thinking the Pace-Edwards Bed-Locker. Might as well get the best. I kept my last truck 15 years and no way I'll put the miles on this one I did that one being retired now. This may very well be the last truck I ever buy so I might as well go for it! :cheers:

Yep. I know where you're coming from.

 

I'm 60 years old this January, and, although I'm in great shape for my age (a fitness addict) I figure I'll be into my 70's (gulp!) before I turn in this truck for God Know's what. So, I bought the Pace Edwards.

 

I just ordered GM's P.N. 22892012 Bed Rug Kit for 2015 GMC Sierra 6.6 Bed, and a set of molded GMC Mud Guards, front and rear. The GMC Bed Rug was a little less $$$ than the BedRug's version, and the GMC Mudguards look "ex-factory/"

Pace Edwards ("PE") Full Metal Jack Rabbit: Unlike Retrax and TCUSA, PE does not use double-walled aluminum for their all aluminum cover. That doesn't mean it's bad, but it's probably not as good as double-walled. Also, RollNLock A-Series does not use double-walled aluminum either. (Picture coming later).

Meh. Different design. I can't see an advantage or disadvantage in any of them.

Has anybody purchased the Undercover Flex recently? I got mine in the mail today, but it does not have a bulkhead seal. Install videos I have watched have this item included.

You may not be able to see it, but you can sure feel it. Go to a store and bang your fist on the dealer's cover displays.

Your lack of profile information doesn't lend much credibility to your comments. Even though you may well be correct. But my first thought is you are a dealer and Pace-Edwards isn't one of your products and you may well be biased. Just my first impression and I may be wrong, but I'll bet I'm not the only one who feels this way............JFYI.

You are incorrect, but close. I'm not a dealer, but I have a good friend that is. I'm still waiting for the RollNLock A-Series picture from him. They do carry PE, but they are not as popular as the other brands.

O.K. I'm listening. Why isn't PE as popular? They have a good reputation. Which one is considered the absolute best? They are all close in price so I want the best one even if it cost a little more. I'm not looking at the PE Jack Rabbit. I'm interested in the PE BedLocker. Is there a difference besides one being electric? (I'm going to their web-site now to see if I can find that answer myself.)

O.K. so it appears the PE Jack Rabbit and the BedLocker have the same panels. Although they are not double walled, they still look pretty substantial. Does TCUSA manufacture their own covers or have them made by somebody else?

I think I want the powered cover. I'm back and forth on that feature. I definitely want one that is metal, powder coated and that rolls up and can also be locked. I appreciate the help/information TruckDaddy............you still need to post a little more profile info! :lol:

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
