Anyone have any "secret" deals they know of for the Bakflip MX4 for a 2020 AT4? Been searching all morning and best I've found is around $850...

 

Thank in advance!

Theyll quote you over the phone (just need to give them an email address) and it’s free shipping and maybe no tax and ask if there’s any rebates in play.

If you place absolutely zero value in keeping anything dry in the back of your truck then sure it's a great cover. Their customer service was responsive in my multiple requests for replacements so I will give them that at least. If I had to do it over I 100% would not buy that cover.

yeah, I wouldn't put stacks of paper back there, but it works just fine for most things and is a security deterrent.

 

A little water does drip in at the front of bed.

 

If I wanted 100% waterproof, I'd look at using an undercover over the edge, but then I couldn't drop the tailgate without opening it.

I am getting ready to buy as well.

When I bought the one of my '15 Sierra I called their number and asked for a better price.  I paid $650 shipped, but that was 5 years ago.  I might try the same thing with this top.

I had the Bakflip MX4 on my Colorado and loved it so much I purchased another for my new 2020 Silverado. 

No cover is 100% waterproof, I get a little dribble now and then but nothing to be of concern. 

I would never put anything that might get damaged by a little water in the bed anyways......that’s just asking for trouble. 

 

Awesome cover and I would highly recommend it to any owner.....

Agreed.  Happy MX4 owner here as well.  Front corners get a little bit of water, but I have it adjusted far enough back that it stays fairly dry.  I am going to pull the crappy foam off the front of the bed in the spring and replace it with a thinner closed cell strip.  I told my wife I wanted the BedRug mat for Christmas, and that will help as well.  I usually leave my golf clubs and gear caddy back there, but throw them in the back seat or garage if it is going to pour for an extended period of time.

I agree with these two. I also had one on my '16 Colorado and loved it. The one on my Colorado was the original design.

 

I did not install the front foam seal on my T1 and have only had a little water come in around the tailgate when it was raining hard or I was washing at the car wash. I'm going to get a tailgate seal and see how that works out.

    • 87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!
    • Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
