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 put my Bakflip MX4 and Bedrug Tailgate rug on today. No full bedrug, because in a month or two I will put a bedslide in.

 

I like the bed rug on the tailgate. I have a Revolver X2 tonneau and have been wanting to protect the tailgate somehow.

Thank you. Even though I have only had it a few days I am very impressed with the tailgate rug. When I read that it attached with Velcro I was worried that it wouldn't be strong enough, but this is not light duty Velcro. Fourteen tabs of the heavy duty hook and loop attaches it very powerfully. Fit is perfect and it couldn't be easier to install.

This is how the Undercover Elite LX turned out . A little heavy on the coin but worth it . They're running

a $100 rebate on it right now . Sorry the pic isn't great .attachicon.gifFullSizeRender.jpg

Got one myself on my 2017 Denali 1500 and I'm loving it looks like it was made to be there from the factory. Had to get mine painted at a shop. dark slate metallic.

i bought my truck used and it came with the backflip vp. I know it is hard to see from this pic, but wanted to know if anyone has had this one for several years? How well does the vinyl cover hold up over time? is it going to fade out, dry up,crack and flap in the wind? it looks just like the regular backflip g2 from the underside from what i can tell.

i would just hate for it to start looking like a ragged out convertible top like you see on cars flopping around going down the highway.

maybe i'm way over thinking it...i do park it in the garage fyi

update...2 years later the bakflip has completely fallen apart.

the rubber joints/gaskets at each folding section have lost their seals..exposing what the cover is made of...styrofoam and two really really thing pieces of aluminum...

damn glad i didn't buy this as it was already on the truck when i bought it.

 

i like the low profile cover...anyone have another product they would recommend?

also the panels have bowed from loosing their seal and actually hold water at each section...

i will take pics and upload them.

I actually tried to put it back together with caulk and screws lol....

I can recommend the Access Lorado ROLL-UP cover... Had mine just shy 3 years and it looks and operates like day 1... Its adjustable but I have not needed to do so... Access has a Good, Better, Best system for the Low Profle and Normal Covers... The Lorado is The Best Low Profile... My brother in Law just bought one from Amazon for his Ram and payed in the $370 range... I paid $420 for mine installed 3 years ago... It does flutter a bit but is not noisy at all and I am pretty sure all roll ups flutter... 99% water tight.. You will see a trickle of water after some heavy rain or the car wash... I always have some kind of sports equipment in bed and nothing has ever gotten wet...

 

Hope that helps..

Why is it so hard to find a roll up cover for a 6'6 bed with a toolbox . Last I looked the couple options that were available were super pricey. I remember spending like 400cad all said and done for a roll up on my tundra years ago. Don't want anything fancy just to help keep debris out

Any suggestions on how to stop the leaks on my MX4? I've tried adjusting it but it leaks along the rails, and at the back.

MSRP is around $470 USD but you can probably find it cheaper at some online stores.

I agree with MCarlo. Although I just recently installed it, I bought the Access Original roll up cover. I second everything he has said

Find a garbage receptacle large enough to accept it and get a Tonno Pro hard fold, that's what I did with my undercover flex which is pretty much the same. IMO as an engineer I see no way that these styles of covers can keep your bed dry. I actually sold mine cheap to a guy and told him it was kinda leaky.

The install is everything with the MX4. Tighten the rails from front to back pressing down firmly at each clamp point. Use equal torque on all the clamp bolts. Ensure the grooves on the clamps are seated in the grooves on the rails. When you put the cover on the rails pull it back until the bulkhead seal makes contact with lip under the front panel, but just touching, don't pull back hard. Check and recheck that the cover is square on the rails. That will take care of everything except for the leaking around the sides of the tailgate, but that is a tailgate issue not a cover issue. If you want to address the tailgate you can actually use strips of weather stripping to eliminate the vast majority of it. My truck just went through hurricane Irma and the bed is still dry except for a little water around the tailgate. I haven't done the weather stripping around the tailgate.

your best best is to add tailgate/bulkhead/ect seals.

 

These covers are not exactly made to be waterproof. The single hinge fiberglass covers do a better job there since it covers the rails. In my opinion that is.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
