Were you able to remove it? If so, how was it installed and how was it uninstalling it? Did they screw through the bed to hold it down? Want to take mine off and just want to know what I’m in for. Thanks I’m advance.

Hi, located in NJ. I'm taking mine off today and was hoping to find out how this gentleman took off the cover. Mines in good (not great) condition but works fine. Looking to sell if anyone's interested. I'm in NJ, so you'll have to come get it.

Love cars,

The High Desert package consists of an electronic controlled magnetic ride control and what most people recognize is the bed system because it is the most noticeable. It is a complete drop in factory installed system that come with tool boxes 

(large beer coolers) down both sides that are very similar to the Chevy Avalanche. They both lock with the vehicle remote like the tailgate. It has three removable covers that allow for large cargo. It also has an area inside that raises to secure small or large cargo, depending on what side of the divider you put your cargo on. I believe it was only available in the 69 inch bed. It also has a support piece that runs up behind the cab, looks just like a Chevy Avalanche, that contains a third brake light.
I just purchased a 2017 High County, 6.2L with the High Desert package. No disrespect to anyones person opinion, but I don’t care for the Avalanche look. I plan on removing it this weekend. If anyone is interested I would like to trade for a nice trifold flat bed cover or sell it for enough to buy one. 
I know the High Desert package, with the ride control, was a $7000 add on. Seems pretty steep to me.

I am located in central Kansas and have many more pictures I just didn’t want to download them all because of file size.

I will try and take pictures and give a brief explanation of the removal process if anyone is interested.

Yes please, always like to learn new things about the K2's.  

 

Thanks for your offer.

Think you will need some of the factory bed caps, otherwise you are going to just have the exposed bed tops.

Maybe a tailgate cap too?

      Casey from the Texas Hill Country

      Howdy! New to the forum of course! My name is Casey, just picked up a 2024 high country midnight edition. First “new” truck in 24 years for me. Driving a 1998 Z71 since 2002. Have been on the GMT400 forum with lots of good info and help there. Nervous about driving these newer trucks and all their electronics…. Did a lot of work on the Z71 myself over the years. New truck is definitely a nice upgrade after 24 years. Photo of the old and new, still keeping the Z71 - has 320,000 miles on her and still running well!

      We did 250 on our tractors until we switched to Amsoil. We doubled after that.

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.   Understand, I was in the main shop. We didn`t do oil changes or tires. We had a service station for that. I don`t remember the hours they used for tractors, lawn mowers, etc. Something in my head says 250 hours.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋
