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

I like the hard trifold one with the leather covering it so it still looks seamless.   Not sure of the brand, ordered with my truck through the dealership and it has a bowtie so it's made for Chevy by someone.   Keeps things secure and mostly water proof.

Great deal on a bakflip G2 on ebay2c01dd85b9da4441bd7b2220751edf9f.jpg

Great deal on the g2. Only thing i hate about that and the flex, is that you have to open the tonneau to shut the tailgate or else you’ll destroy that seal. The mx4 and ultra have the updated tailgate seal.

Still a great deal

I just installed my UltraCover Ultra Flex.  Why did I go with this one?

- Vinyl covers look cheap...because they are.  Same goes for the vinyl folding covers. 
- Full one-piece covers are a pain in the butt.  Pass
- Roll ups are nice, but the canister takes up a lot of space AND have issues with ice

That left a hard folding cover.  Any cover that requires or recommends you lift the cover to close the tailgate is a joke - period.  There is no reason for that BS.  That takes a number of covers out of the market, including Gator's entire lineup.  I liked the Lomax/WeatherTech cover, but it won't fold up to the cab, so that was a no-go.  Then it ended up leaving me with the BAK or UltraCover higher end covers.  BAK has a worse reputation for quality.  I ended up finding an Amazon Warehouse deal, so at $735 shipped, it was a no brainer:

I completely agree with all of your points above.  I am debating between the Undercover Ultra Flex, BAK Revolver X4, or Truxedo Sentry CT.  I think you may have just pushed me towards the Ultra Flex!  Looks awesome on your truck!  Thanks for posting a pic of how you routed the drain tubes as well.

Following this one closely. 17' sierra crew and I'm looking for a good lockable trifold

First post on this forum. Just got a new ‘18 Sierra. I had a ‘12 Avalanche and that bed cover was nice. Struggling between the Undercover one piece Elite and the Ultra Flex.  Anyone like or dislike the trifold WeatherTech (Lomax) The Lomax/WeatherTech seems to go to great lengths to claim water tightness. I think I going with that. The design seems better - no drains to deal with and if you need the whole bed just take the covers off.  Thoughts or experiences?

I had a Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite on my first truck, it went with it when I traded it in and I bought a new one for my second truck but the straps that pull the tabs on the middle panels to fold deteriorated and broke off, as well as the ones on the tie down straps, I couldn't even secure the cover while folded anymore, of course this happened right at the 2 year mark and I was SOL on getting it fixed under warranty. I just got a new truck so now I'm looking for a new cover, the G4 Elite was 99.99% waterproof in my experience, and I need something as waterproof as possible. I liked the idea of the Roll-and-lock but I saw it's not waterproof, plus you need to open it to open the tailgate. The undercover ultra flex looks nice but I'm not sure about a pull open cable system, and not sure how waterproof it is.

Any other recommendations out there? I'll keep going thru the thread

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
