Not sure if anyone else has run into this but it seems like the aftermarket vendors don't list much for the 2024's yet. Did a little digging on the OEM cover options and found in the soft covers the part for a 24 is the same for a 20-23 truck. I took a leap of faith and ordered an Extang Trifecta ALX for my 2024 3500 with an 8' bed. It fits perfectly and all the hardware for the latches fit like they should. Super easy install. Figured i would put this out there in case anyone else was looking.

I've always liked the roll-up covers.  Since my last one, a new entry to the market has popped up.  I'm super impressed with the quality of my Gator SRX, having had Access and Truxedo covers before that cost twice as much.  The difference between this Gator and the Truxedo Lo-Pro I had on the truck I just traded in is indiscernable from the outside.  Only difference really is the Truxedo had nicer clamps.

This one is not a roll up, it’s a tri fold style. I have had lots of roll ups in the past from Extang, Truxedo etc. After having a tri fold on my last truck i dont think i could ever go back to a roller. 

 

I had a factory tri fold that came on that truck and when it got damaged by a storm and needed to be replaced i bought this same Extang ALX and really liked it. For me it was the natural choice for my new 2024.

I juse sold my 2020 GMC 2500 and bought a 2024 GMC 3500 AT4 Standard bed.  

 

I kept the Diamondback HD cover and installed it on the 2024.  

 

I couldn’t tell a difference in the way it fit.  I’m really happy with the way it looks and functions.

I contacted BakFlip, and they told me that the same MX4 that fits the 2023 Sierra 2500, will also fit the 2024 too. I haven't purchased yet as I'm trying to decide between Bakflip MX4, Leer and a Canadian brand, Bison, that costs about half the price.

Biggest thing I want is one they doesn't block my rear camera when it's folded up against the rear glass. BakFlip also said their mx4 cover doesn't impede the camera or center brake light.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
