Undercover Elite LX , painted to match . It has a great sealing arrangement , is secure , has a light and a retrieval hook (??) ,

 

Only drawbacks are it takes two people to remove / install , and it takes 3+ weeks to get it .

 

Added the Rhinoliner spray in liner and McGard tailgate lock . The arrangement keeps my tools and camping gear safe and dry . Looks great too .

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

Looking at the undercover ultra flex and the MX4. Could i get some advice from people who've owned the product?

 

My main concern is security and water tightness.

Stay away from the backflip MX4. Put one on my 2015 Silverado and have had issues with leaks from the start! Took it back and they put a new one on and still leaking.

I had a flex, it leaked like crazy, ditched it for a tonnopro hard fold, I am much happier with the security and water-tightness, I miss having the ability to flip the cover that final time for access to more of the bed but, it's so easy to take the cover off and then you have no rails/gutters left to mess with.

I know a guy who has a rope and pulley system in his garage so that he can hoist the cover off by himself.

Sorry it's been a few days since you asked this, but I wanted to wait and answer until I had owned it a few weeks longer.

 

I got a ultra flex about a month and can't say a negative thing about it......it hasn't let in any water and it's as secure as a folding cover can be.

 

Even when I washed it and flooded it with water, no leaks......trust me I checked....we use it for trips a lot.

 

I liked the matte finish on it more than the MX4, that's the reason I picked it over the BAK brand.

That sounds like sumpn I would do . I'll have to wait until we buy the house as this condo we have now isn't secure and the stuffy HOA would frown at me again . They already gave me s*** about working on other vehicles , and it was in the carport where nobody could see me .

Do anyone know if a tonneau cover from a 2014 f150 6.5' box will fit a 2015 sierra 6.5' box

I doubt it but it might. the beds are different widths front-to-back, meaning they are not always perfectly square. Worth measuring though. Also might be close enough that it would work and just be a tiny bit off. I used a non-matching camper shell for a while because it gave a place for my dogs to go after going to the lake. I was okay looking at the mis-matched shell because I knew it was saving my interior :)

Any swaying factors with the BAK BAKFlip MX4 versus the UnderCover Ultra Flex? They seem very similar. I wish the Ultra Flex had a metal bottom instead of carpet which I suspect will gather twigs, dirt, etc.

The finish on the top is the main difference to me MX4 rough bumpy and grayish finish.....Ultra Flex smooth and matte black finish.

 

The carpet under it is the exact same as the bedrug carpet, I've never had any problems with it collecting anything.

Personally I like the carpet. Keeps the cover cool (to the touch...not the inside) in the summer. Its quiet(er) when folding

      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

      By dna9656 · Posted

      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.
