Ok all installed. Took me maybe an hour. It’s all about the “J Hooks”...that plastic cap on top of the sides of the bed hides some pre drilled holes in the composite underneath. I used a pry bar to pry the plastic up and slide the j hooks into the square holes. That’s the hardest part really...after that just screw in some screws and put the cover on. There’s a couple clamps (you can see one in the pictures) that hold the whole thing in place that mounts into a pre drilled hole in the rail. There’s a nice lock on the cover right up against the cab and the other end opens with a twist handle (you can see it in the pictures). The tailgate opens freely and overall I think its a great tonneau cover...it’s made of a Super heavy duty material and it’s a nice low profile tonneau. Good job GM!

Shawn,

 

How sturdy is that hard tonneau? I'm looking to mount a bike rack on tap similar to my old tacoma and was wondering if there was enough ridgidity to it to through 50 or so pounds on top and not be worried about it?

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

Hello All,

Matt Wright here, I have a small engineering & prototype shop I run from my house here in White Lake Michigan. We recently made a set of CNC'ed aluminum clamps to work with the BAK Industries Revolver tonneau cover and a 2020 GMC AT4 Carbon Pro bed.  

No drilling or modifications to the truck required.  

 

We have only made 1 car set so far and the customer is currently testing them out to make sure there are no issues however, so far so good.  If anyone is interesting in buying a set, please email me directly. 

I am not sure if they will work with other tonneau systems however, I'm happy to send you more pics if interested. 

Please email me if you are interested.    

Thanks,
-mww

I know I'm being picky, but has anyone found any tonneau cover that has the follow features...

 

1. Fits Carbon Pro bed

2. Hard tri/quad fold

3. No rails

4. No cables

 

If I find any, I will provide the link.

If you look at the above post, his clamp is suppose to work with BAK products.  As soon as they are ready I plan on picking a set up to use with one of these:

Not sure how a tonneau cover cover would work without the use of a rail....a hardshell cover maybe?

I bought the GM Tonneau...the one that they made for the carbon pro bed. It’s exactly what your looking for...trifold, solid...it’s very well made. You can open it from the back or the front. Nice locking mechanism. I actually had installed the extang solid fold on my carbon pro before GM had finished their cover. I used some metal zip ties to attach the solid fold to the eye hooks in the bed. It was fully functional.

Thanks! Sounds like you understand what I'm saying. Can you post a link of the exact one you bought?

Order placed along with https://bakindustries.com/revolver-x4/2020/gmc/sierra-1500 can't wait to get it installed.  Now if only https://decked.com/products/decked-gmc-sierra-1500?variant=13509548572738 would produce a system for the CarbonPro, I would be done with the bed :)

Can you provide the part number or link for the trifold solid tonneau cover that you purchased from GM?

Looking forward to seeing how this works, need a tonneau cover ASAP but if this work and I don’t have to do any drilling then I am going to pull the trigger. Keep us updated please.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
