Looks good, is that the Gator Recoil tonneau cover? I've been wanting a hard tonneau cover for a while but everything I've seen has been outside my budget. I just happened to be looking on Amazon the other day and found a 5'8" Gator EFX hard folding cover for $539 so I ordered it. It arrived last week and I had it installed in about 30 minutes. So far I've been very pleased with the way it looks/functions and haven't found any leaks even after driving through a heavy rain.

 

Before I ordered it I called RealTruck (Amazon Vendor) to ask some questions about the EFX as compared to a couple other models and I found out that Gator tonneau covers was owned by RealTruck. The gentleman I spoke with told me that RealTruck has other tonneau cover manufacturers make the covers to their specifications and market them under the Gator brand name. I was told that BAKFlip make some of the hard folders and they carry a 2 year warranty. The EFX I purchased appears to be made by Undercover because that the address it was shipped from and it carries a 3 year warranty just as the base model Undercover hard folder.

Any leaking? Really like the clean look. Currently have a soft top that sits up.

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

Here is an updated picture with the new shoes. Ridge Grapplers 35X11.50R20. No rubbing at all!

That looks damn good. Exactly what I'm looking to do as far as stance and tire size. Wish more companies offered a 35" with the 11.5 width. Worried about trying to go up to 12.5

What size rubber do you have? Did you do a level?

I have the Trail Boss 2" lift and a 1" level with 35X11.50R20 Ridge Grapplers.  I think it is perfect, absolutely no rubbing!

I felt significantly more pain paying $63k including tax for the truck than I did paying $250 for the install. It all depends on the perspective. ?

Thank you!  I think 12.50s will rub.  I am 1/4" to 3/8" from the UCA.

Anyone get the “new” range DFM disabler (RA003 model)? Does this also deactivate auto stop/start?

Thanks!

Don’t have it yet, but it does disable auto start/stop. Appears it’s only for the 8 speed transmission at this time which is great if that’s what you have haha

Range just emailed me back and verified the auto stop/start

Now waiting to hear about the 10 speed since it says available for the 6.2 which only has the 10 speed

Cool! Does this affect the warranty of the truck? Thanks!

Great stance! Level kit or left? Specs? You considering larger rubber?

2" GM factory lift with 1.5" RC leveling kit.  I've since removed the chin spoiler and installed 275/60R20 Ridge Grapplers.  Didn't consider a larger size because I wanted to keep speedo/odo accurate.

Installed a Bedrug bed liner this weekend. Not hard to install, just a pain in the ass to get perfect fit in some of the corners. Overall, I am very pleased with how it turned out and the product quality. Highly recommend pulling the 12v outlet out, d/c the plug, cut the liner to match the inside perimeter of the cutout in the bed and then reinstall the plug. This will help hold the liner snug to the wall as it tends to lay loosely from the sidewalls in areas where there aren't velcro strips. Gives it a cleaner look as well IMO.212aa9dbea4db052e50a05e51c065264.jpg65e7e88a1e713037421357d897d962d8.jpg6c96d18910d6b710bace0d57debd95fb.jpgefea6ba16e23b78c048c91a80e5ce9fc.jpg38458e4126f60df260835b09afb3cdad.jpg

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
