I posted this in a couple FB groups without anyone with first hand experience. Thought I would try here as well. 
 

Does anyone actually have these boxes?  I’ve got a 2020 HD short box and is says they don’t fit. I cannot find any measurements online. I understand that they wouldn’t take up the full bedside like they do in the short bed 1500’s and I think that would be a bonus for the 2500’s since it would leave access to the tie downs. Just wondering if anyone actually has these because I haven’t seen a pic of these in an actual truck. Just the GM stock photo’s. If anyone has another suggestion For something similar id love to see other options. Thx in advance!

 

Someone did post a pic of the boxes in their truck. Another thing that concerns me is the ability to use with a BAKFlip system as well. For me, that would be the Ultimate solution to have the boxes fit under the cover. The person who had the boxes installed said they got them wholesale for under $800.

from the picture it look like the reason that it would not fit would be due to the clamps for the rails on all low profile bed covers not having enough room to fit. if you watch some install videos on those bed covers you will see what i am talking about. sorry i couldnt be more help, but it might be possible to make them work together if you get creative. best of luck

These fit the standard bed 1500. I don't know if they make ones for the short bed 1500.

I believe new short beds is 5ft8in and the standard bed is 6ft5in.

I thought about them, but since I didn't know if they would work with the folding bed cover so I went with the Mega Box and the Swing Out Tool Boxes which I knew would work under the cover.  The mega box folds up into the space under the front of the folding bed cover and the swing out tool boxes remove by swinging them out and lifting up so if I need it, I have almost all of the bed.

Nice..thanks for the links. I've seen videos of that particular swing out tool box before. They seem kinda flimsy. When people were handing them in the videos they were flexing and bouncing around on the hinges.  Are you happy with the quality of them for the money?

I might be interested. I have to see which brand bed cover I have. It's at the dealer right now for a recall for the mounting clips

I have an undercover swing case. I love it. It's pretty much full and it doesn't feel too flimsy. If you filled it with multiple heavy items like hitches, I could see a problem. But I love how it works, and it is easily removed if I want to use the whole bed.

You need the ones for the HD bed.  1/2 ton box is 6ft 6in, the HD standard box is 6ft 9in.

 

84492907 is the 2 box kit for HD.  If you want individuals (so just the left or right side) 84362597 is the left, 84362598 is the right.

These are my 2nd set of undercover swing cases, I had a set on the truck I traded in.  They lasted 8 years without any issues.  They are not as rugged as the side boxes that bolt in and are stationary, but they hold up well as long as they are not overloaded with heavy items.

Great. Thanks for the information. I cannot find much on these part numbers but, I’ll reach out to the dealer. I’d love to find a dealer that will take them back if they don’t work!  I love the idea and design of these boxes but, if I cannot get them to work with the bakflip, it’s a no go for me!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It seems fine because it pulls everything out of a hot engine. I’m not going to worry about a thimble full with 5K oil changes with synthetic oil. Every other oil change is at Honda they pull the plug. I watch them through the process. It turns out going to Honda what amounts to their normal oil change intervals.

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.
