Thanks all, I have ordered a cargo bar.

 

I did look at altering the existing gate, but it was almost 8 inches too short.

 

Was leaning towards the 2x6 or 2x8 solution but with the bed being wider than it is long, storing it out of use would have been an issue.

Hoping an adjustable bar works well for the best of both worlds.

I would love to find one too. First time owning a truck, Got a 2020 Sierra AT4. A friend has a dodge RAM and they have ridges all through the side walls of the bed where a spring loaded divider wedges. you can adjust it to whatever depth you like. Didn't think that far and liked Sierra more than Ram. Now I can't find anything similar. 

 

The only thing I have found is a U shaped bed extender kind of divider.

This looks fantastic. I may have to do this myself!

Yes I did this to my 2017 Sierra ... do you happen to have the measurements for the new body style ... would like to do it to my 2020 Silverado .. I guess I could measure but if you have the cut length that would be awesome for many...

can't think of a way to hinge it and still be sturdy enough to stay in place.

For a 2 piece design just hiinge the section of  at the top not the side.

Copied Ryno12s idea with the 2x6 lumber.

Cut the center  of the long cross board and added a 4'" door hinge on the font side.

Push to front to fold out and pull to rear to fold in.

The short legs against to tailgate and the long ends against the wheel wells keep it in place

Fold ups and stows nicely in the truck when not needed.

Simple but functional modification... I used two 2x6’s

As someone said before, a ratcheting cargo bar works good.

If you plan on adding a bed cover, look into a roll-n-lock. The make a cargo divider similar to the one you have that works with the cover, slides and rotates out of the way.

I've got the Roll N Lock cover and cargo manager. It is going to cost you around $260 to $290 for the cargo manager but it works great. I have a couple of folding crates that I bungie to the cargo manager for groceries. When I get home I just carry in the crates.

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years
