I forgot to post after getting my Truck Gear hard tri-fold installed.  So far it is great.  I have had zero leaks by the seals and just the minor maybe 1% dampness by the tailgate from the gap.  I will have 3 posts as apparently the file sizes are too large for one post.

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

And the last picture is apparently larger than 4.88MB by itself.  I’ll upload it later if someone can explain how to change the file size on an iPhone.

Installed an Access Lorado cover yesterday.

I have the Lund soft roll up on mine but the Access Lorado looks smoother and more taut. How much and what style of bridge work is under it? Photo? Thanks.

The Lorado runs about $475-$500, but I found this one off eBay from a dealer that had acquired a bunch of these that had damaged boxes, but the contents were just fine.....sold to me for $350.  It is very taut and there are three or four rails that span across the bed that sit on top of the rails.  I'll snap a pic of the inside later this afternoon.

 

Edit: Here are some grainy pics of the inside of the Lorado install:

Thanks. If I didn't know better I would swear I was looking into the box of my own truck. These two tops look identical except mine is not that tight. Know what the replacement will be now.

I really like my Truxedo lo-pro. Rolls up nicely and keeps (most) of the water out during hard summer rains.

Fold-a-Cover is bar far the best cover at least for my needs. Hard cover, folds flat against cab of truck. Has a front hatch that opens and locked. A storage/tool box is also available. You don’t have to open your tail gate to get into the back locking hatch. Has room under the storage/tool box for longer items. Not a drop inside my truck. I’m sure it was because of the superior install done by me lol. Installed in about 2 hours. I’ve had it 6 months and still love it. https://www.foldacover.com/products/tonneau-covers/g4-elite-fold-a-cover/

All covers have their pros and cons including FoldACover.  DARIN mentioned some pros.  One small con, though, is that FoldACover still uses metal "piano" hinges which no one uses anymore.  The seal that keeps water out of the piano hinge tends to break over time.  The heavier the use of folding the cover, the quicker the seal will break.  If you don't fold it very often, the seal should last a long time.  The seal is replaceable.

Got a Tyger RoLock Low Profile Roll-Up for 170 on Amazon. It was a returned item. Installed it today but it looks like it is good quality. Will see how it holds up to the rain and driving

Just installed a Retrax on 2018 Silverado, so far no issues. It’s not as water tight as I thought it should be but I will work on it...

Hey all new to the forum just took possession of a 2018 ocean blue LTZ e assist. I am currently waiting to get it back from getting bed liner sprayed and windows tinted. Looking to upgrade my factory cover to a Bak flip MX4, what are you guys finding for pricing on these currently?  How are they holding up over the years?

Do a search here for the Bak covers fitting flush to the top rail.  There has been quite a few leaking issues with them.  Look above at bkesting's red truck with the Access Lorado cover, it's a classy one.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
