Looked like on the instructions to line the tail gate with  piece of foam and I thought "that tail gate won't open with the pressure on it like that" so I just left it off and started thinking of something to replace it with and trimmed down a garage door rubber piece. Maybe I didn't have to ha. She's water tight though and looks nice.

Oh, definitely not necessary to put anything on the tailgate. The seal on the cover mates against the back of the gate and nothing more is needed, I never have had any leaks. The two rolls of foam they give you are for the front of the bed. Two sizes, a short one for if you have the drop in bedliner and a taller one if you don’t. Think I used the shorter one even without the plastic bedliner because the other was way too tall.

Oh right on. I must of read the paper wrong. I had a 1/16" space on mine so I figured I'd seal er off anyways.

I have a undercover tri fold and mine works fine after I adjusted it 

+1, I have an undercover ultraflex.  It stuck for a while, after a little adjustment and just using the tailgate more the power tailgate now works fine.

Trifecta 2.0 does not work at all with the tailgate for me.  Leaks at all four corners and prevents tailgate from opening and closing easily at all.  I am trying to return the trifecta 2.0 and get an exceed.

I see you filled the grab handle holes in the back corners of the bed. Did your cover come with those caps? Or did you scoop them up somewhere else.

great item for looks, and maybe i'm getting old.. but the holes are very handy for getting up and down in the back of the truck.

I recently installed Extang Xceed (replaced faulty Trifecta 2.0) and got it to work with the auto-down power tailgate....BUT i had to ensure the cover was pushed all the way forward to make it work.  If you follow the instructions in the box, it says to leave too small of a gap between the cover frame and tailgate lip; the extra pressure on the top of the tailgate in this config will prevent the tailgate from coming down without manual assist.

 

I also got and installed the same stake covers mentioned above from the eBay vendor.  Nice find Thunderstruck!!!

I also have the Extang Xceed and had to push it all the way forward to get the tailgate to come back up and lock.  Great bed cover.20190818_130231.thumb.jpg.1419c34f94672ffda62e2379d0e2b21c.jpg

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?
