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

Got the MX4 today love it anyone in the local SF bay area need a Bak G2 i'm looking to move it also have the factory one that came with the e assist model. Shortbed Crew cab. 


I thought of getting the truck gear mx4 version bc of the lifetime warranty. Just doubt I’d have the cover longer than 5 years lol

I don't keep vehicles long either so MX4 was a no brainer.

Yep, all information is correct according to my research.  Here's some interesting information:  Go to YouTube and look up Undercover ChromaFlex (has painted panels).  I'm not sure when this will be available though.

Oh it just seemed like you were involved with them or something lol. Il check it out. Might just go with the undercover ultra flex since a 5yr warranty is plenty

anyone know the difference b/t lomax tri fold and baklfip mx4?  I wish the search function was more useful as I'm sure this has been asked before.  From what I can tell is they're both quality products.   The mx4 has drain tubes and the lomax doesn't.  But I haven't been able to find any comparisons b/t the two.

Extang Solid fold 2.0 

 

https://www.autoanything.com/tonneau-covers/extang-solid-fold-2.0-tonneau-cover

 

The good: easy to remove and install. No rails or hardware to fasten to your bed. It sits ontop of bed rails so you get maximum height for items under cover. Mostly water resistant. Car wash and downpour 99% water stays out. I think some comes in due to stake bed pockets. Panels are insulated and thick and stay cool to touch on bottom side. 

  

 The bad: expensive at $850. When it rains I can see the impressions the pads left when I drove with it open. It could have been better designed to match bed rail shape. Handles and spring clasps are all plastic.

Got my new Truxedo Sentry CT hard roll up  installed last night. It's a brand new cover for them that has a canvas top rather than the shiny vinyl. It's got an almost flush profile.  So far I really like it.  Not cheap but seems worth the price.  I will report back if any issues come up.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
