Any CarbonPro owners out there who figured out a tonneau cover solution?  Apparently, the CarbonPro bed doesn’t have the rail necessary to mount any sort of cover. My local dealer had a call out to GM accessories corporate and am waiting to hear back.

Have installed a BakFlip MX4 on my GMC CarbonPro AT4.  Awesome vehicle.  Wanted a folding hard tonneau cover that exposed most/all of the bed.  This thread helped get me started.  From what I can tell

Never even seen a carbon pro thought it was a myth.

I was just informed that GM does have a tonneau cover for the CarbonPro Edition.   84791287 - Tonneau Covers, Short Bed Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover for AT4 CarbonPro

Ha!  I wouldn’t have believed it myself. I went to my local dealer last week to buy the AT4 I had test driven the week prior. They had it pulled up all ready for me.  Then, they said, “Before you sign the paperwork, would you like to see the new CarbonPro version?  It just came in yesterday. There were only 150 CarbonPro AT4’s made for 2019.”  For once, I was actually in the right place at the right time.

The dealer was baffled, had no idea. They said they would call GMC corporate to see if there were any known solutions. I decided to hold off on the tonneau cover and use that money to install the cold air intake instead. I go back next week for the install.  If I find anything else out about the tonneau covers and the CarbonPro bed, I’ll post it.

While getting ready to buy a silver at4 the truck came in and brought 4 new ones. One was a carbon pro with 6.2 in black. I had to buy it.  I have modified a backflip cover once to work with a ladder rack on my tundra. I think it would not be a issue but I spoke with the people at backflip and they are working on one.if not out by October I will modify and post what I did.  They made one for the Honda Ridgeline that has no rail also. Works with screw locks. 

Did you get the kicker system in the tailgate?

The tailgate kicker system was factory on mine, but I had to add the tailgate step lights. I had negotiated the tonneau cover in the purchase price. Since they couldn’t install a tonneau, I had them install the cold air intake, they gave me a bed bag, and a refund check for the rest. For my purpose, the waterproof cargo bag is just fine, and LOVE the cold air intake!

I used a clamp for a Tacoma with the side rail system. Drilled 1/2” hole in to the side Of the bed rail and inserted 350lb hollow walls. Now that I know it works I’ll probably install a unistrut side rail, secure it to the side with the hollow walls, and use strut nuts. 
It’s secure. 
 

GM told me sorry nothing out there yet. The tonneau mfgr. told me sorry and to return it. What I did works but lot of trial and error.

I’ll just use the hollow wall anchors to mount the unistrut rail and then use strut nuts in the rail. It will look cleaner. Currently I have the clamps bolted in directly to the hollow wall anchors.

Just bought the Carbon Pro Denali and had no clue I couldn't put a revolver bakflip G2 cover on it like all my other GMC trucks. Same I called and GM hasn't figured out a fix yet. I also talked to my rep where I buy the covers and he said they are also looking into what kind of adjustments can be done.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
