What are you running and how do you like it?

I have a Diamondback SE and it does a good job but I have stuff attached to it that makes bed access limited other than from tailgate. I have a Bedrug XLT in the bed so I can save my knees while crawling into the bed if I fill it right up. This is not ideal but is a rare occurrence so I put up with it.

 

If I take the tent off and the side mounted bike racks off, I can open the front and back sections even with the lower racks on.

 

If I want to run a 5th Wheel, I would need to take the entire setup off.

I've been shopping between Real Truck and Peragon covers. I don't even have my truck yet. it's on a train somewhere and should arrive in the next week. I think I'm going to order the Peragon cover. I think it will work for me.

GM Accessory Tro-fold by REV.  Ordered it with the truck so it would be covered by the Bumper to Bumper warranty and also because I have had it on my last 2 trucks (2017 & 2021) and 100% satisfied with looks and functionality.  It has survived harsh Michigan winters and always looks new.  With the GM ones,  if dealer installs at time of sale, covered by B-B warranty, if you install, not covered by GM but the cover maker (REV) warranty applies.

Slight correction to your warranty bit. 

 

It is a non GM warranty from day one.  No bumper to bumper warranty coverage.  All the tonneaus are that are IBP (Integrated Business Partner) which they now call "Associated Accessories" are provided and warrantied by a 3rd party and sold via GM, but not manufactured by GM or warrantied by GM. 

 

Same goes for the hood deflectors, window visors, any accessory that has "Associated Accessories" at the end of the description.

 

We have a sheet with all of the warranty contact phone #s for all sorts of the products that are "Associated Accessories".  Kicker, Advantage (formerly REV), Thule, BackRack, Adams, LoadTamer, Borla, etc.  

 

Now, something like the GM splash guards or a GM tonneau (look up 87816007 for example), those are covered under B2B when installed at the time of purchase, or are 12 month warranty for over the counter sales.

I had the Diamond Back on my last truck, and it did not work for me.

I can't believe a dealer person would BS me.  I never got anything about the cover warranty with the purchase.  I just looked in the truck and nothing there, unless they will handle it for the customer.

Warranty booklets are in the tonneau packaging.  Tech who installed it probably tossed them.  

 

Yes, dealer would handle the warranty work for it.  They call the # if there is an issue, and parts are sent out, etc.  I've had to before, the tonneau suppliers are great.

Truxedo ProX15. I put it on in 2022 it’s just as good now as day one. Very low pro and made of nice material. A couple drops can get in up front and I mean only a couple during a big downpour but I don’t care about a couple drips. Never had things get wet inside.

Fill4.thumb.jpeg.ea33d941151498e18466681508a976fd.jpegI installed the Diamondback HD and love it. The cover is very heavy and the struts help with lifting so not the most adaptable. However, if you want durability get the HD.

Here is a picture of accessing my bed mounted winch and another showing a cubic yard in the bed without removing the cover.

Had to switch from IPad to Dell PC to get the image to post correctly. So much for driveway inversion

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
