First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Has your bed cover leaked at all yet?

Sorry for the delay in response.

 

Yes, it does leak a tad, however with that said, I believe it would be a fairly simple fix if you really wanted it to be weather tight. It doesn't seem to let water in from the sides at all as well as at the tailgate end. The main leak sources seem to be (as far as I can tell) from the corners at the end that butts against the cab. Each corner has a very small pocket that water can penetrate the flap seal that goes from the cover to the part of the bed that runs perpendicular to the cab window. Like I mentioned, if you really wanted to, I'm sure you could get creative (and I may at some point) and fully seal it by fixing those corner gaps.

 

Other than that, I'm sure if you take a pressure washer to it, it'll leak more. But my observation of leaks has just been from a decent amount of rain that we've gotten over the last couple of weeks (sounds weird to even type that living in SoCal... But I swear it's true, we got quite a bit!). 

 

Also, by "a little" leaking, I'm talking MAYBE enough to get a standard water bottle HALF full and it's really just at those far corners. I don't have the spray in liner so it's been easy for me to track the leaking.

So what's the 1/4 mile toy that it'll be pulling?  Nice truck BTW.

Thank you. It's my RS3. It is on a very mild setup right now (APR Stage 1 E85 tune) with some very basic bolt ons and went 10.9 @ 127 on my one and only E85 pass. I have been daily driving it, but the fastest way to get tired of a project is to DD it. I am stoked to have a great truck that can also pull this thing around when I need to take it to a shop or the track. I won't tow enough to justify a diesel, but I also wasn't going to make the Tacoma mistake for a third time - I wanted something that could get it done out of the showroom.

Where you get your headlights tinting?

Luxe Auto Concepts, they have different tints and variations and you can choose between a glossy tint or a stealth tint

Looks great! I was pretty much called a dumbass when asking about headlight tint on here.

Yeah, it happens. I like the tinted look too, but thank you!

Look's good for a white truck .

Appreciate it! It’s hard to decide what to do to it because if you go too far then it just looks wrong. Gotta have the right amount of white and the right amount of black or chrome to accent it

Got my truck back from GMC today after taking it in for water pooling up on my driver side mat after every slight bit of rain, slight right pull to the right on the steering, loose door panel driver side rear, and a sweet 4x3'" of missed black paint that my detailer who was going to ceramic coat my truck pointed out to me on the inside of tailgate where the speakers go.

So while she was gone I spent some time ordering parts- gotta spend money to stimulate this economy. LLJ custom harness for my 1000W amp and 2 10" JL's- ran all the cabling tonight for power, installed amp, ran ground- will pull rear seats tomorrow to plug in LLJ harness and hopefully get it banging. Installed black front GMC and removed the rear GMC- there was just too much on the tailgate. I'll prob end up removing the AT4 from the tailgate since the sierra is removed as well. I'll add some more pics tomorrow. Today was finally a nice day after almost 3 weeks of torrential downpours here in Fort Worth. Also added the LED license plate lights to my truck and the wife's Yukon.Oh yeah and I love these mats in my Sierra so ordered three rows of them for the Yukon.  Pardon the dirty truck, the dealership didn't wash it after service- they've furloughed half their staff including the guys who prep/ wash the vehicles. Just hoping this will all be over soon. 

Oh and my new blacked out Oil and Gas Texas plates came in but can't have them installed until I go to the Tax office so I can register truck but they don't open back up until April 7th.

Hey my dad lives right of 80 in Haughton and hits the car shows all over Shreveport in his 69 Chevelle SS.

You have any issues with light displacement after tinting the headlights? Looking to do mine here in Texas (my buddy had his Stingray done front to rear including windshield) but a bit concerned about legality. The LED's on this truck are insanely bright though...

No no problems at all, Luxe auto concepts actually started making these kits for show cars, and the material allows light through pretty well, you may see a decrease in lighting by about 20% but that’s if you even get the darkest tint and still nothing that makes it harder to drive

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
