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

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
