Installed an Undercover Flex a couple weeks back. Really easy install doing it by myself. It was cold out, didn't want to make the wife help if I could do it myself. I didn't install the drain tubes cause I don't like the idea of drilling in my bed to widen one of the drain holes. I think I'll do the clear vinyl tubing and 90 degree PVC elbow and go out of the tie down hole.

 

Had some pretty heavy rain these past couple days. This cover is about 97% water proof and really secure. I should be testing it out in the snow this weekend when I head up to the mountains. Overall I'm impressed with the cover and satisfied with my purchase.

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

My Tonnopro Hardfold continues to to do a good job. It keeps the bed dry, it's easy to remove and doesn't sacrifice any bed space to get the job done. I've had the cover for about 6 or 8 months I don't remember exactly. The downsides, the clamps are kinda awkward, if you don't stow them properly before folding the cover you'll tear the vinyl top, the cover isn't the best looking cover around but it does the job.

Ordered the PowerTrax Pro MX today. $2180.00 tax and all. Yeah it's pricy but this truck is probably my last one so I bought what I wanted........I think :dunno: I don't suppose I will know for sure until after I've had it and used it for awhile. Anyway, I got tired of trying to decide and just bought it. My requirements for a cover were: being able to lock it securely as possible, and being able to haul whatever I needed to without having to remove the cover. The powered opener was just a bonus.....it does have a useful feature in that where ever you stop it, it locks there. Now will see how long it takes to get here.....I didn't pay for any shipping so it could be several weeks. Ordered it through a local business.

I wasn't really planning to buy a tonneau cover just yet but started checking out some of the items mentioned in this thread last night and found that Bak is having a sale right now and so I ordered the Roll-X today for $600 shipped. http://www.bakflip.com/p-349-roll-x-tonneau-cover.aspx I should probably buy something for my wife now. :uhoh:

Does the Roll-X have drain tubes you have to route through the bed?

 

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.

No, the way it's made everything runs off the top of the cover. It has seals all the way around.

Thank you. That's a huge relief! I hadn't even thought about the possibility of needing to route drain tubes when I ordered mine yesterday and really didn't want to deal with that.

You'll love it. I do mine, it made my truck look so much better and it stands out in a crowd now. Even though it already did being the color it is.

Finally got around to installing my diamondback cover and tool bin. Installed in about 30 mins. This cover is ridiculously solid. Everything about it is rugged and well made. You could literally have about 5 grown men jumping on this cover at the same time and it wouldn't break. Maybe even more because it holds up to 1600lbs on top of it. I wouldn't be surprised if it out lasted the truck with exceptions to maybe weather gaskets......which I must say are also pretty beefy. I've already had 2 people ask about it in parking lots.

 

It's been raining like crazy here in San Diego due to El Niño and there isn't a single drop in the bed. Exceeding my expectations.

 

I know the look isn't for everyone. Some prefer a sleek low profile look. This cover definitely isn't that. It added a bold rugged look to my truck.....that I love. I don't have one complaint yet. I'll have to see how it is loading my quad on top of it.

Hi, does the tool bin just drop? If not how is it attached.

Thanks

Yes the tool bin does just drop in. It is 13in deep so if you have long items you can slide them under the bin in the bed. Has two smaller compartments on the sides and a third larger compartment in the middle. The sides pretty much just over lap the bed rails so it hangs suspended. It's made very sturdy. Very similar to the fold-a-cover caddy as far as the way it sits in the truck. The cover clamps down on the edges of the bin as well as the lock rods pivot through the side of the bin under the bed rails. So it won't move around or anything. I like it better than a tool box bc it is out of site and the cover does a great job keeping things secured.

 

Here are some better pics I found online.

If I was still working out of my truck, this would be the cover I would buy. But you are correct, it is the wrong look for my truck. It is an impressive cover/tool box though.

Will the Amp bed extender fit under a BakFlip? I just ordered a cover tonight & was wondering. I'll find out soon enough, but I am sure someone here has already tried it?

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
