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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      Engines wear. It is unavoidable. So the question isn't if it will wear out but rather WHEN it will wear out. That question is about rate and RATE is a HUGE problem for almost everyone; but not in the way we may think.    Unless there is something drastically wrong with your powertrain, wear is exceedingly slow. It doesn't wear out in minutes or hours or days or months but in years or even decades. Ditto sludge and varnish. Humans are an impatient lot so to see the benefit of a truly superior product you may have to wait a very long time. Most will get bored first and trade before they reap the benefit.   Humans are not companionate creatures when it comes to those we do not know. We don't care what happens to the second or third owner as long as it doesn't happen to us or someone we know and actually like.   Sad commentary on humans but it is what it is. That thus, then, there is no advantage...to or for you if the above paragraphs adequately describe you.    BUT if you are a buy and hold type and patient enough to reap the rewards of your labors then that thing that is happening that you haven't yet seen, but will; can be abated by such products. Seals harden and leak with time and lots of it. Rings stick after thousands of miles of a slowly building plaque of varnish.    Then there is this. This didn't happen over night and this poor fellow knew when he removed the cover and not one second before.   Not "aware' isn't the same thing as "isn't happening".        The above was typical of the Ford 361 and 391 bus motors on Bulk Pennzoil Mineral Oil products on 3K mile OCI's at about 60K miles back in the 60's and 70's at the Anamosa School District when my Uncle took over their maintenance program.    This is Pepper at @ 165K on 5K OCI's using Group IV/V Full Synthetics.      HM oils will help the first but not the second.    Then again if one used..... ah, ya know.....

      Awesome you got it sorted! That's a new potential issue I'll have to mark in my book of issues. Thanks for the feedback.
