FYI all, I just ordered a Roll-n-Lock M series on Amazon for $1058. They are like $1299 everywhere else.

Truxedo Lo-Pro QT for me.

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 just installed my G4 Elite Fold a Cover yesterday and I really like it.. It's very nice quality and easy to install. I bought the Personal caddy too, but haven't put anything in it yet..

So I bought the extang encore tonno cover because the ability of opening both sides appeals to me greatly. I am wondering if anyone else bought it recently? I love the ability to open both sides of the tonno cover but today it rained in ct and so I decided to test it. It rained and it went through the cover. I had never thought that much water would poor into the side channels and collect.

 

It really sucks and I am thinking ill never put anything in there with fear of it getting wet ( clubs and clothing).

I sent them an email and they told me all tonno covers leak in some way thats why you need to put in the drainage tubes. Who here has no issues with their tonno cover (different brand). Do you guys add the drainage tubes or not?

So I bought the extang encore tonno and the amount of water passing through the drainage tubes amazes me and shocks me. So I am curious about everyone else. How much water do you get in your bed and how much goes through the drainage tubes? Also what brand do you have? I am arguing with them that this is jot normal and they are telling me all tonno covers leak to a degree. I am so far disappointed with them.

Any idea who makes the current GM dealer hard tonneau cover? The one I saw on a lot looks a bit like the fold-a-cover, but the sales guy didn't know who the manufacturer was. It was a hard tri-fold with a black vinyl cover...I imagine GM likely changes the supplier from time to time depending on what's available for the best price for them. Thoughts?

My Roll N Lock arrived from Amazon today. Looks great sitting in the box so far, lol! This definitely going to be a 2 person job. BTW, the part number is not yet listed on Roll-n-lock's website for the '14s. It's LG221M for the standard bed if anyone is curious.

 

edit: Looks like they found their mistake, glad I got mine. Price is back up to normal.

Update on my Extang Solid Folid........Great looking cover that leaks a lot. Extang sent me replacement hinge seals that made no difference because the water is leaking from the panel edges. Asked for an RMA and they just asked more questions. Sent them photos of the leaking and haven't heard a response. Tried contacting by phone and only got through once and they claimed I was breaking up after I told the rep I had been dealing with my name (I was on a land line). Tried to call back and cant get through. The vendor is trying to get RMA so I can send back. If that doesn't work, I'll let Visa handle it.

 

In the market for another!

Wow thats some service. I have the extang encore and the rails collect water like the Nile river. I am waiting for the next storm to confirm the panels leak at the center of the bed or not. If so I will contact them back. I was sending a bunch of emails to

 

Just dying for the rain so I can see what happens.

 

I might be joining you in returning it soon... encore is a product to avoid.

 

The g4 elite seem to be awesome. I just really wanted a duel opening cover.

Put a light mist on the center of the cover with the water hose until you get a little standing water and inspect.

Question for Truxedo Deuce (2) owners regarding the rear seal: I 'THINK' Truxedo recommends simply closing the tailgate on the rubber seal strip and therefore rolling it inside the bed. This looks rather odd to me. It LOOKS more "correct" if you pop the rear, close the gate, and then snap it back down keeping the lip on top of the tailgate. But I can't see Truxedo designing it in such a way that this is necessary.

Thoughts???

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

      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?
