Well, Leer is having a sale where you can combine discounts...I am about to place an order for an 100 XQ, with removable fixed front glass and remote unlock/lock for $2325.00 (plus tax)...

 

Now i just need to sell my backflip MX4...

well it looks good...but thats not really what i would want to hear! DOH! are they saying bad part or what? how do you like it so far (other than the lock issues)?

Looks Sweet! Love toppers baby! It's all about the install unfortunately and experience. Everything from cable/wire management to Looms and terminal etc. The Key fob programing etc. It used to be just throw the aluminum topper up on the truck now it's complicated production. Hope you get it worked out because I love the looks on that one mate!

Stopped in cap shop this AM. Leer put a strut mounting screw right thru the harness under the headliner.

Repaired the harness, lock works with the truck remote.

 

Thanks for the compliments :gmc:

Have them use the lock power from the tailgate lock.

As for interior lighting, mine is wired hot but I ordered the prop switch so they come on when the shell door is opened.

They tried using the tailgate lock, but said it wasn't pulling enough volts (or amps, i cant remember what they said)...

 

as far as the switch...i was going to go with a prop switch, but the guy told me they can have a tendency to fail...so i just wanted it wired directly to the OEM cargo switch that is on my instrument cluster.

 

**also, would you mind taking a side pic of where the tailgate meets the shell and also the front where the shell rests on the back (or front ) of the bed near the cab? i feel like mine is shifted about an inch to far towards the tailgate and there is a noticable lip...

    • I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉
    • CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect. 
    • That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less? 
    • That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package. 
    • Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?
