I just bought the backflip f1 tone cover for my 2016 silverado double cab I should have it Friday or Saturday the latest I was wondering if anyone that has installed these the f1 or mx4 can give me any pointers or advice  or anything I should know prior would be a huge help. also was wondering has anyone used silicone sealant at the non moving points to help keep out water ?

Its a simple install, if you follow directions completely it will not leak. Its only when people dont follow them that there are issues

Yea, piece of cake, shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes. Maybe just have a helper for moving the top around, but that’s about it.

Mount the weatherstripping on the very back edge of the front of the bed.

 

Make sure your drain tubes aren't kinked.

 

After you drop the Bakflip on the frame, you can open it up and slide it forward or backward.  Once you get it in position, crawl up in the bed and install the washers and hand nuts.  If you try to fold it all the way open it will move out of place.

 

It's an easy install....took me less then 30 minutes start to finish.

Dealership threw mine in as part of the deal to get me to purchase my truck.  No leaks.  Only issue I have ever had, aft "locks" come "out of rig" with use.  About a year ago, the trailing edge (tailgate) kept flying up off of the bedrail and tailgate.  They're easy to "dial in."

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
