I put the rail under the forward mounts notched it for the rear mount. Just need to add a bead of silicone to seal it up

Looks something like the "sail" on my old Avalanche or the "wings" on my '69 Chevelle, but a lot meaner. Like the photos show.....mean

We have 6 of those bars in the back of our parts room at my dealership because anyone that buys those trucks doesn't want them and we take them off lol. We can't even give them away.

I want one ;-)

Hi Everyone, I hope this clears everything up. I took delivery of an All Terrain X a few months ago and have been calling every tonneau cover company since then. Based on my research, Truxedo is the only company working on making a compatible cover. The cover will be the Truxedo Lo Pro. I followed this Chevy CA link and called the company listed. It is in fact referring to the Truxedo Lo Pro that is being developed and tested. It was simply listed under a parent company name. After talking to Truxedo several times in the last few months and after my call today, they confirmed that testing is going well and it is expected to launch early 2017. I hope this helps anyone looking to buy a truck with the sport bar or anyone contemplating whether to modify a new cover.

 

Followup, I called Truxedo this am and the launch is pushed back again! They are now saying 1st quarter of 2017. I may just purchase a Revolver and modify it at this point. Very frustrating but especially with GM for not planning a tonneau to work with these bars.

UPDATE: I've have my BAK Revolver on for a few months now and love it. The mods I made are working perfect. Its dry, and quiet. I'd do the mod again if I had to. HTH

Anyone know if they actually made this sport bar or not? Or know of anything very similar?

Not that I am aware. I believe it was a concept only design.

For anyone with the sport bar, where did you purchase your LED pods for the top of the bar? Mine has 2 holes on each side like it's set up for 2 pods and I was wondering where to find pods that fit

Zmoney852, I actually had the factory ones installed out of the GM accessories book. They change out the head light switch and the bar is prewired for the lights. I looked into doing Ridged LED and by the time you got the same style lights they were almost as much and you still had to add a switch in the truck.

 

Side note on the bed cover it now looks like GM does offer one from the factory, however I have a few calls out and I am waiting to get confirmation on this. Ill update more when I have it.

 

Thanks

There's dozens of different lights you can get. I'm a Rigid Industries fan. Good, quality lights. They aren't cheap but I'd recommend them in a second. They make several different lights that would fit into your sports bar.

No problem. I didn't install the lights my self I worked it out with the dealer. They were excited because they didn't know the lights existed until I told them about them. Not something I would normally do but when you spend that much on the truck they can throw you a bone. I haven't see the instructions my self, but best I can tell the truck is already partly wired for this. I just checked under the drivers side bed and you can see the harness come down from the lights and plugs into the factory into the factory harness. They installed a new head light switch, with the option for the fog lights and the driving lights(and yes you can drive with all the lights on at the same time, looks really cool at night). The cluster has a secondary light to denote that the driving lights are on. I'm not sure if this is in all trucks or only the all terrain. I believe this is similar to how the under rail bed lights are wired. All the GM trucks of this generation have the switch on the dash for the cargo light and adding the under rail light is as easy as plugging them into the module in the truck. No programing required. As for the driving lights, I would recommend them they are very bight and work well is rain and snow. As I said earlier a ridge led light set would run between 6 and 8 hundred and still need to be wired off the battery and a switch installed in the cab. These were $1,000 and work seamless with the truck. Oh one more thing the part number for the kit is 23415424. There are two kits one for fog lights and the other with out, I guess they have a different switch. Be careful for non-all terrain owners, this kit is for a truck with fog lights.

 

I am not exactly sure how to post pictures but if someone can tell me ill post the pictures of the lights and switch.

 

let me know if you have any other questions, ill be happy to answer.

 

Thanks

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
