So I've been to my dealer twice about this and the can't answer my questions. I have a 2020 GMC 3500 AT4 with the 6'9" bed. I was looking at buying the GMC (associated industries) hard folding tonneau cover. 

 

I'm wondering if, when folded up, does it block the camera mounted in the 3rd break light. I know Extang ones do block it. 

 

Also, when the dealer parts guy printed instructions for it, it said you had to drill multiple places to attach the bed rails. 

 

Just looking for answers from someone who has one. Thanks

Nice ride. I didn't want anything to be covered either. Went with the Revolver Bakflip MX4. Works great, gives the "hard" cover and doesn't cover the rear window (completely) and cameras.

 

What part of AB?

Thanks man. Yeah I was looking at the MX4 as well. Have a coupon from GMC for 15% off accessories which would save me about $250 so I was leaning towards the GM one. 

 

Good to hear the good review on the BakFlip. Might end up with that one if I can't get any answers. 

 

I'm in Fort Mac.  You?

Which cover exactly are you looking at?  

 

The actual GMC covers won't block the camera.  Are you looking at one of the covers offered through GM that are "partner" covers?  Do you have the p/n of the cover you are looking at?

It doesn't list a part number but here's what I'm looking at

So that should be 19418544 which is a partner tonneau.  Its the REV bakflip just sold as an "associated accessories" partner cover.  Warranty issues are handled by REV and not GM/GM dealer.

And like newdude mentioned, warranty issues are covered by the manufacturern not GM. Save yourself some money and go BAKflip MX4. I got mine for $917.00 shipped and installed it in 30-45 minutes by myself.

That must be US. That cover is almost $1400 here in Canada

I got mine from Autoanything.com. If you'll call and talk to a rep vs ordering online and tell them you're a member here, they usually make you a great deal.

I have the BakFlip MX4 and I really am happy with it.  That being said, I think I if I did it over I would go with the Bak Revolver X4.  I like the seamless look.

Yeah I like that look too but I tow a fifth wheel and like the idea of being able to leave one panel down to keep a few things out of the direct rain. Can't do that with a rolling

Worth a try but I think shipping and import fees would kill it

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
