As much as I like the design and the sleek look of these track mounted tonneaus, They weren't going to work out for me. I haul a couple 30.5 inch wide kayaks in the bed and the tracks encroached on the width. So I choose to go old school top rail Extang Solid Fold 2.0. Not as pretty but does the job.

Installed LoMax tri-fold hard cover tonneau this am. Moderately easy install. Needed my buddy's help to lift the cover onto the truck bed. Not as young or strong as I used to be. Definitely not a one

I went with the GatorTrax, very pleased!

Yes, the tailgate opens/closes easily with the cover in place. I have the LoMax tri fold.

I have the A.R.E. Fusion. Came pre painted to match exterior truck color. Very happy with minimal water leaks.

Hi MCM3M

Do you have a picture of the Fusion on your truck?  

 

I really like the fusion but it looks difficult to remove if needed?

The LoMax and the fusion are my top picks so far.

Just got a 2020 AT4 same color. How does the Solidfold work with the multi pro and auto drop tailgate. 

 

I had the Extang on my 2016 Denali I just traded in and it did me well. 

 

I'm stuck, and mostly just want something lockable.

Remove two clamps up front and lift completely off (might need help lifting).

Here are a couple of pics...

The seal on the cover bears down on the top rail of the tailgate. The auto drop feature is hindered by this. It unlocks then you have to give it a little help then it come down on its own.. I'm assuming just about any cover will do that to make a good seal. I've only had it on a couple days maybe the seals will soften up over time.  As far as the Multipro everything seems to be functional, but once again it may need a little tug to get top to open with the tailgate up. Other than that I really like the cover.  I had Extang Trifecta Soft Folds on my 14 and 16 The Solid Fold is a definite upgrade.

Went with the Roll-n-lock A-Series today!! UWS under tonneau utility chest fits great underneath. 
 

I’m a big fan of the retractable roll up style and the RNL fits snugly in a small canister. 
 

I put my 6-month old Bakflip Fibermax for sale in the classified section in case anyone’s interested on 30% off new price!

Awesome bed cover.  I am researching bed covers again since it appears that Steffens Automotive, the maker of fold-a-cover has closed permanently.  I really like this ARE cover! The website doesn’t list this cover for a 2020 GMC 2500 HD though.  Have any of you seen one like this on a 2020 2500 HD?

The GM Cover sucks.  I have the hard folding one i believe it's from Rev.  $1,000 cover, it's not water proof, has big gaps in the corners, you have the add a bunch of weatherstripping, and....mine is actually drilled through the bed rails and not clamped so i have zero adjustment.  If i knew that ahead of time i never would have gotten it.  It's also a PITA if you ever need to uninstall it quickly to get full access to the bed. The dealer installed it like garbage, and it was preventing my tailgate from closing all the way.  I had to take the folding part off, then take a dremel and grind our the clamp slots since I cannot adjust the alignment due to the rails being bolted to the bed rails. 

 

The upside is that it is lockable, and it opens up at the bulkhead as well which is extremely convenient!

Would you buy this again? I just posted without seeing your picture.  Is this the M series or A series? I'm looking to replace my current cover and would like one like yours. Any chance you can send a picture of it rolled up into the canister so we can see it's size in relation to the bed and clearance below to the deck? THANKS!

Sorry I missed this been on vacation  Looks like you already got one congratulations.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
