Hey guys,

 

Just got a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado crew cab 5'8" short box... Just wondering if anyone know if the box are roughly the same dimensions for fitment from my old 2011 GMC Sierra crew cab 5'8" (the topper/canopy on it is a Raider Nomad II)

 

Thanks for the help

I kept the tonneau cover from my 2013 and used it on my 2014. It doesn't fit as well as it did on the 2013, but it works for me. There must be a small difference in the bed configurations. Hope this helps.

it will be close, as the other posted did I to took the cover off of my 2010 and put it on my 2014. The bed is off by a 1/2" in both directions on the new bed.

So you own two trucks but zero tape measures? ;-) (sorry, couldn't help myself :))

Should had clarified better, just curious if the fitment (bodylines, curves where it meets the cab/back window, how the topper "sits" on 2011 or 2014 box RAILS)

 

Just curious if anyone has experience with those. As truck nowadays (IMHO) are purposely design just so people can't buy "standard white toppers" and make them fit (bodyline wise) or look right.

For topper canopy, at least for mine, the measurements will "sit" from a 2011 on a 2014, however, like I suspected the fit and finish isn't right. I need a topper for work, so I guess I'll trade in the old 2011 topper, hope they'll knock off a few hundred $$ towards a proper fitting 2014 fit/finish topper.

Im looking at picking up a contractor cap from a 2013 truck to go on my 2015. Short box also. If i get a used one, it saves me like $2000 lol. Is the difference something a guy could live with? Like it will not affect the function, or damage the cab being that close? I will likely do my own water proofing. Thanks for any info.

After I bought my truck I figured meh I will just buy a canopy as there is lots on used sites. So I feel your pain none of them will fit properly and buying a new canopy was a royal pain in the behind. None of the manufacturers or distributors list the prices and it is hard to compare them without phoning and doing a lot of leg work. Honestly think it was harder to shop for the canopy than it was the truck.

Just wondering, how does it fit if you go from a 2014 to a 2011?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
