Don't buy the GT77 AC Delco cap mentioned in this thread. Look at it's reviews first. Should be on the Mount Rushmore of garbage OEM sponsored parts. Falls apart in your hand. A 5 year old could take it off with limited hand force in it's locked state.

 

There is a market for an anodized aluminum cap with a unique bolt style lock a la Genos Garage caps for the diesel RAMs. Alas, I don't own a CNC machine or poses the knowledge of how to use one.

I bought the delco locking gas cap. I agree it is a simple cap with a plastic tab that locks it on that isn’t really that great.

I can pull it off without unlocking it if I really wanted to. For me, I am more concerned about dust, water, snow getting into the shitty capless system than about the other stuff. There are holes all around the door and rubber that let all of that into the filler area. 
if someone opens the gas door and sees the locking cap they are more likely to go try another vehicle than deal with the hassle I hope.

If you want to save the money the other options of paint can lids, etc will work to keep stuff out of the tank. To me this one just looks a little more robust even it it really isn’t. 
Hope this review helps others decide either way.

There was some posts back around 2016 when I got my previous truck which was a 2017.

I don't recall the actual description of the cap, but I got it @ our local hardware store (HH for those of you in Canada). The cap fits my 2024 fine. It may not be lockable but keeps crud out of the filler opening.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
