Installed a truxedo lo pro. Reason I picked this over others is the quick detach if necessary. Don’t know how much I will use it, but would hate to be in the situation and not have wrenches with me. The part number says without cargo management, but mine does have that and it still works. 38BB8E57-CF9A-471D-ACCE-28FAF920C6FB.thumb.jpeg.5bdc8a25d989c12a6958ab87520dcf87.jpeg

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 agree, the quick detach is another feature that sold me over the Revolver X4.  Doubt I will use it much, but nice to have that ability.

Ive read back about 20 pages and haven't seen anything about the Extang sold-fold 2.0.  I did see someone asking about a trifold that locks though.  I keep mine locked and just used the tailgate. Never had any issues with it. I've stood on it and had no worries, I couldn't find an actual weight rating of the panels but their commercial said 3 of his big buddies.

I've had the SolidFold 2.0 on my truck for over 3 years now.  It's still working well.

I updated the latches to the newer ratcheting type but found those weren't easy to use with my extender cage, so I went back to the original ones.

They work fine for me and don't lift much at all as others have reported.

Here's a pic where it is folded it and I'm using it as a shelf for the front wheel of my landsailer.

What's the updated latches look like?  I think mine are kinda spring loaded hooks.

The updated ones have a threaded type shaft that locks the hook in position so it can't be pulled up.

The original ones had a smooth shaft that allowed one to pull up on the lid once locked in place.

In this pic the old style is on the top and  the new style on the bottom. 

You can spot the threaded shaft in the gap on the new style one.

The new style also uses an oval track slider so when it is in vertical position it cannot be shifted or slid into place.

That was the issue for my bed extender as I have to be able to open the clamp and slide it under the bed lip, which I can do with the old style but not this new style.

They are just sitting here.  If anyone wants them cheap send me a note.

Where do you usually go "sailing" at?  I've gone with a few groups from Edwards AFB out to El Mirage Dry Lake.  They've recently (last few years) started using Roger's Dry Lake (on Edwards AFB) to do their land-sailing, I haven't been out there since they switched, especially since my accident, back in July.

We go to El Mirage mostly and sometimes Ivanpah. I’ve recently started the Landsailing sport the last couple of years .  We started with  kite buggies in the late 90s and still take them out with us on the Landsailing trips.

I installed a BakFlip G2 on my 2018 Sierra.

 

Easy to install and nice that it can be folded up easily for large loads.

I'm looking into a tonneau cover for my 18 Sierra, I want to have full bed access, not cover the side rails and be able to close the tailgate with the cover down.

I'm looking at the:

          Under Cover Ultra Flex https://undercoverinfo.com/undercover-ultra-flex/2018/gmc/sierra-1500

          BakFlip MX4 https://bakindustries.com/bakflip-mx4/2018/gmc/sierra-1500

          TruXedo Lo Pro https://truxedo.com/lopro/2018/gmc/sierra-1500

 

I like the idea of the hard cover with the Ultra Flex and MX4 but I also like the 1/2 price of the Truxedo. I'm basically just wanting to have things in the bed and not get wet.

Opinions between these three?

What hard covers allow access to the front of the bed by flipping the front panel back besides the factory cover?

Ok here is what i have ran into.  The Bak Industries reviews on their website says for the Hard Rolling covers that in cold weather like 30 degrees and below that the vinyl pulls away from the aluminum with not much help from BAK.  Then there is Truxedo Titanium Hard Rolling that has really good reviews and even for use in cold weather.  Now has anyone had any experience with the Hard Rolling Cover from GM Accessories made by REV.  So who is REV?  Nothing comes up on Google or Youtube that I could find review wise.  A dealer offered me a pretty good price installed but I don't want to buy again after a couple years.  Need to do it once and be done.  Anyone got anything on the REV Brand or know who the REV brand is?

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
