Anyone with a Long Bed and a Tonneau Cover? I can't find any except what is on the GMC Accessories store. Interestingly, the ones in the store are the same as the 19/20 Sierra 1500 Long bed. 

 

Please post pics and Model of what you have.

So here is what I've found in my research. Below are the relevant dimensions. 

  2019 Silverado 1500 2020 Silverado 3500
Inside Length at Floor 98.18 (2494) 98.27 (2496)
Inside width, between wheelhousing 50.63 (1286) 50.55 (1284)
Wall to Wall, bed width 71.4 (1814) 71.4 (1814)

 

It seems that the 2019 1500 Long Bed covers should fit ours which I've confirmed with the Truxedo TruxPort 272201. 

 

I'm NOT sure if ALL covers will fit though. My dealer called Retrax which said they're releasing a model that fits in 2 weeks. Bak and Pace Edwards did not give an ETA. 

 

I'm only using this cover temporarily as I want to get a Pace Edwards UltraGroove but who knows when that is happening. They don't have that out for the 2019 1500 Long Bed either.

Anyone seen or used these Extang Hard Covers? They look well built and durable and at $678 not a bad price point, they have a good video demonstrating installation...

I would choose the one without the lock which is the one in the photo, remove that lock bubble for the clean look on the $678 model....

I've got one on my 09 dually but it's the toolbox version.  It has a lot more plastic on it than I'd like having paid $835 for it.  It also isn't made right for my truck.  The rear "clamps" don't hook on where they're supposed to according to the instructions or the manufacturer.  Supposed to be the correct one though so I don't know.  Works well enough that I still use it.  Been off and on my truck since April of 2019.

 

If you do get one make sure you shop around.  I saved almost $100 on mine by going through one of those deal sites, discount bandit.  Ultimately it was shipped from one of the aftermarket sellers.  If I remember right it was even cheaper than they were listing it on their own site too.

After a long wait.....The Bak x4 aluminum roll up cover is available and shipping. I’ll post pictures as soon as I have some daylight.

 

I had the X2 installed on my 14, and 16 Denali HD’s and loved them. Great cover with the best of hard and soft covers

Installed my Retrax the other day. Nice cover.  I wish they would combine the best features from theirs with the best from Roll-n-Lock...IMG_6605.thumb.jpeg.27935ef00b04d9cb08fc1b7a75b119af.jpeg

Witch one do you like the best. My 2020 DRW is being built next week. I wanted a Retrax power operated  but when I talked to them they said the motor they use   wouldn't handle a 8' cover. Cant  believe there motor is almost maxed out and couldn't handle another 15in of cover. They don't sell enough to build them, every one buys a truck with half a  bed, then wonders why there trailer hit the back of the cab.

8 foot is too hard to drive.  It's too long.  It doesn't fit in the garage... :)

I had the Roll-n-Lock way back on my 2008 Silverado Long Bed.  I really liked the locking mechanism and that it retracted like a window shade. The Retrax fit and finish is much nicer, but the locking mech is not as nice, and it needs to be pushed to open.

 

And they do fit in the garage. Chevyguy85 just has the wrong garage :).

Those aren't my lame excuses.  I have a dually so I've got a real bed.  I can't go back to a short bed.  Besides I always have a tool box so I guess I have a short box anyway.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      OCI, not when but why?

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.

      Engine Wear and ISO 4406   1.) Cold Starts. 2.) High Particle Count. 3.) Low operating temperature viscosity and high low temperature cranking viscosity. 4.) Depleted AW, Friction and Acid packages.  5.) High engine load.    https://me.caltexlubricants.com/en_me/home/learning/from-chevron/heavy-duty-diesel-vehicles-and-equipment/The-Importance-of-Clean-Engine-Oil-and-Its-Impact-on-Equipment-and-Business-Performance.html   High particle counts have five sources. 1.) They are manufactured within the engine. Both wear debris and amalgamation of degradation products and combustion driven soot (worse in GDI). 2.) They are ingested via intake air. Ever hear the best oil filter is a good air filter? 3.) They are entrained in the fuel. 4.) This one is insidious. They are introduced in 'fresh oil'. 5.) They are introduced during the oil change.   ISO 4406 is the test that measures and quantifies the combine effects of all of the above particle related issues. You can mitigate your way into multiples of engine life by being attentive to them all.    https://www.hyprofiltration.com/blog/is-new-oil-clean   (from the link above)    [Quote] What Is the Recommended ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code for New Oil?   A good upper limit for new oil cleanliness is 16/14/11 (ISO 4406). Typical new oil usually has ISO codes of 19/17/15 or worse, which is far too dirty for sensitive components. This can be a major cause of degradation and premature failure.
