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

Looks nice on a white truck. Love that toolbox too.

That was kind of a must have for me. With grandkids, we have 2 car seats all the time, so under seat storage was not really a good option since we couldn't just flip up the rear seats. I may have to get 1 of those bed steps to reach stuff in the middle, but I'll see how inconvenient it is 1st. They do have a shallower tool caddy, but it was the same price. So why not get the bigger one? They also have some side trays. Those wouldn't require a step. or running board.

BSea - That does look great on your truck, very nice. I ended up ordering the silver ice painted Century Cargo Lid flip-up. This will suit me just fine, as I barely use the bed for anything other than hauling luggage around, etc. I'll post a pic in a few weeks when it's arrived and installed for me. Also decided against doing a spray-in bed liner - that's just overkill, something I really don't need at all. I'll just get the Weather Tech bed mat, and be done with it.

you guys with the Revolver X2 - have you noticed any fading? I'm just wondering if I'll need to wax it, use detail spray, etc. I talked to Morrie and he quoted me $799 no shipping or tax.

Now I have only had mine since April but it still looks like new....I use 303 Protectant on it, since I don't want anything running down the side of the bed when it rains.....but so far it's still perfect.

 

Doesn't take much 303 at all......a little goes a long way.

I've had the bakflip G2 on my truck for about a month now with no issues.

Same with me, I've had my X2 since April and have 303'd it twice so far. Still looks brand new. I frequent dirt roads so I have had to roll the cover up and clean the rails and sides of the cover, as well as tighten down some of the bolts. I also wanted to redo the front bulkhead and Bak shipped me a new one no questions asked. Very happy.

Can one of the fold a cover G4 owners advise on how their covers are holding up after a couple years? I just saw one on a Sierra, and the middle hinge wasn't sitting flush with the wind rails. It was sticking up, maybe bad install. Does that middle hinge (that folds opposite of the others) have an attachment point to the truck? Or is it just held down by the tailgate latches?

Really like the concept of it. Going back and forth between that and the extang encore. Just like the ability to open the tailgate side, without having to open the tailgate. Also that caddy thing seems convenient. I always have loose crap rolling around my bed.

Thank you

Really loved my Diamondback cover on my last truck, saving up for one on my new truck. Can hold like 1,400lbs on the top.

My FAC G4 does that. I don't know why. I just lift up the cover and it then falls into place. I just got a new FAC G4 that the insurance replaced the previous one due to hail damage. It did the same thing. Other than that the cover has been great.

Been trying to decide between Pace Edwards and the Bakflip G2. Think this picture made up my mind. Looks great, how you liking it so far

Been looking around and just saw the bakflip mx4. Looks pretty nice. Supposedly much stronger, I think made of aluminum. Matte black. But biggest thing for me is you can open and close the tailgate with the cover CLOSED. I had an undercover flex on last truck, and it was nice but I haves always having to open it. Plus anytime my wife would use it, I knew she wouldn't pay attention and close the tailgate on the cover, which she did numerous times.

Anyone have an mx4? Install looks fairly simple.

I see you have the extra tie downs. I bought them with my cover but haven't installed them yet. Dis you use them much on your old truck?

Absolutely loving it. It has a nice sleek look to it and at a great price. Install took me about 30 minutes or so. I've received lots of compliments on it.

New here as well but wanted to chime in on the Tonno Pro tri-fold cover.

 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EUZZK74/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I ordered one last week and took my first trip with it on over the weekend. Drove from Arlington to Austin, Tx.

 

It is a little noisy on the highway once you get up to 75+. The tri-fold is very convenient and goes off and on quickly. Seal seems good. Took it through the car wash and bed was pretty dry afterwards.

 

I do not plan on using this very often and pretty much only for trips with cab fully occupied and luggage goes in the bed or tailgating and in need of the security when in the game. The trifold and snap buckles make on/off easy and storage in the garage when not in use is perfect for what I needed.

 

Easily worthy the price but if it was going to be on 100% of the time, I would need to focus on the noise and make it stop.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      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.
