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

Very nice do you have pictures of the top? Is that the a- series? I ended up ordering the lomax. Let's see how it is when it comes in. I'll try to post here some pics and my opinions once I get the lomax. Never heard back from the other guy who said he got one. Was going to go with the mx4 but kind of liked how the lomax has less exposed rubber.

Not looking to spend a ton, $300-$400, for a tonneau cover. Based on the research that I have done, seems the Gator Roll up and the Truxedo Lo Pro fit the bill...I am looking for a low profile, and both of these sit about .5" above the bed. Any other that I should look at?

 

Thanks!

 

I've got the Truxedo Lo Pro QT on my truck and it works really well. It was on the truck when I bought it but no complaints from me about it's looks or function. I don't get any water in the bed and the snow and ice come off easily in the winter. I will swap it out for a hard tonneau at some point just for the added security when travelling or shopping but otherwise its good.

 

I'm looking for a foldable hard top that removes easily or folds up all the way for my ATV and and can open from the front and back. I've seen one that opens at both ends but it looked to be a pain to fully remove.

I believe there are only three on the market that fold open at the front and back: Extang Encore, Fold-A-Cover, and Diamondback.

Is there a GM factory one that opens at the front? Or is that one of those 3 just re-badged for GM?

Guess I'll be the cheap guy guinnea pig. I bought a Tyger brand cheapo from amazon. $189 shipped to my door. 15 minutes later, had a low profile cover that's fairly waterproof. A small puddle the size of a sand dollar in one corner after the pressurized carwash. Even came with a magnetic light and 10 year warranty.

I look forward to hearing what you think about your new Lomax once you have it installed.

I bought one off of Amazon - a Tonno Pro tri-fold. 5 minute install. 4 clamps - 2 thumb screw-style in the front and 2 "J" hook clamps in the rear. Undo the 2 J clamps and it folds up and has a couple of clips to hold it open when you drive. Haven't had it in the rain yet, but it fits pretty good. 10 year warranty on everything. I like it better than the roll-up one I had on my S-10. We'll see how it holds up.

Well my MX4 was delivered yesterday and the only damage I can see on it is where during a previous shipping it was scratched. The panel that is scratched is on the bottom so I'll never see it. Unfortunately it has been raining since about 10 minutes before it was delivered which sucks cause it Would have been a nice rain to test out how water tight the cover is.

I got it from autoanything.com. It actually came in yesterday I unpacked it to get it ready to install today. One of the rails came scratched and unfortunately not on the bottom side. I'll be calling autoanything today to see what happens assuming they will send me a new rail. It was due to a poor design in how they are packing them they send you the hardware inside a small bag taped to one of the rails. Small plastic bag isn't enough to prevent Metal on metal contact and tape on painted surface not a good idea either.

Sorry that happened to you....I'm sure it's a bummer not to get it installed today. Did you get a hold of customer support at Autoanything?

      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.
