Planning on getting a Leer cap on our new truck, priced out at x line. Do we really need spray if we get cap on bed, can we get by with a nice molded liner? Our old truck had a molded liner with cap, only thing that happened was paint rubbing off in some places under liner could have rusted but its debatable with cap?

 

Also if sprayed with x lines premium spray, how will that last vs. plastic liner, we throw a lot of wood in back a few times per year.

With a cap, I would seriously consider a BedRug complete liner or mat only.

 

My 2003 had a Line-X liner which I thought was the best at the time (vs Rhino). Held up just fine for 12 years.

 

My 2015 has the factory spray in liner. I got tired of scraping myself up on the sandpaper texture and ordered a BedRug bed mat to soften it up. I'm really impressed with the mat so far. Not sure how it would hold up to heavy landscaping use, but with a cap I really thing you only need to protect the floor of the bed. The mat was around $150 shipped. I'm not sure of the price for the full BedRug liner.

I just want one I can lay down on the bottom. I like my spray in liner, but when I crawl around in there, it's a little hard on the knees for this old guy.

It will stick if you use the adhesive promoter

I did not try to attach the velcro to the spray in liner. Bedrug seems to stay in place fine without it.

It really can't move very far as it is held front to back by the wheel well cutouts.

 

I think the velcro will stick with the adhesive promoter. I adhered the foam weatherstrip to the front

lip of the bed, which is coated, for my folding cover install and it seems to be staying put just fine.

That's a good place to buy them but if you want even more info here is the official link:

 

www.bedrug.com

 

That site covers all their liners/mats and you can request a free sample of the material.

Try a DualLiner. Its the best of both worlds. Drop in plastic protection for bulkhead, sidewalls and tailgate yet rubber mat for the bed floor.

 

Installed mine under an Undercover Flex hard fold tonneau and absolutely love it.

 

Their website is dualliner.com

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
