I've got one on my '01 2500. LOVE IT!!!

 

I've loaded it to the 1200lb max and it did't flex at all. I've had ATV's and Lawn Mowers on it. :D

 

A little pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

 

If you decide on getting one, email me your address and I'll mail you one of my discount certificates.

 

AJ :wtf:

Closest dealer to me is about an hour. What is the average price for the cover, and do you install it yourself or have a dealer install it. What type of coupon can you get? Thanks. I also see it comes in black, any known problems with black instead of the standard aluminum?

Price is between $800 and $1500, depending on the extras you want. I bought a demo at a show that had a couple of extras I wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

 

Install is simple and takes about an hour alone, a little less with another pair of hands and eyes.

 

The customer referal program is $50 off your purchase with the coupon I would have to send you.

 

Mine is the aluminum and I have not seen the black in person. The only negatives I could imagine with the painted cover would be Paint Chipping, Heat, and Wieght.

Taco,

I talked to the guys from Diamondback this weekend at the SEMA Offroad/Spring Show here in Indy, they haven't printed the '05 cards yet so the '04 cards are being honored.

 

Enjoy your new cover! :crackup:

      ‘25 Silverado purchase- back to dealership for bumper/radio issue

      By Atomicgrl · Posted

      The no sound problem is the audio amplifier. The audio amp has a heatsoak issue in some circuitry which causes it to miss the wakeup handhake. If it doesn't respond within a certain time parameter, then you get no sound. I brought it in and had the software update, but after further testing the tech made the call for a new audio amplifer. The software update I belive gives more time for the amp to respond, but if the amp is defective then you can still get no audio at times. After the update it went 12 days before no sound. After doing some research, apparently the fix is a new (updated) audio amplifer, the circuitry internally has been improved to better deal with heat. I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks because at the time, it was on backorder with no eta. Well the amp came in earlier this week. I had the amp and programming work done today. After picking it up I stopped at a few places, and whenever I started my truck, the audio was on instantly, so whatever they did it appears to work because it's never had sound that quickly......Hope this helps

      Make sure the latch mechanism is properly greased. Look at the catch for fresh marks/scratches. And see if it has moved a little, too.

      Thoughts on these wheels?

      By PBNB · Posted

      I have the 18" black mutilspoke wheels that came with my truck. I like them as they are very subdued and look good with the 295/70's    I am sure that the next set of wheels I get will be some after market all black wheels. Or maybe some AT4X wheels.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Interesting question which you partly answered in the word 'potentially'. I think that is going to be a 'point of reference' inquiry. What are the touchstones?    This will sound petty but it is the main source of end fighting in threads on this topic. Define a motors "Life". Think about the various arguments that have been entertained on these pages in that very argument.    I can only speak from my viewpoint. Engine "Life" in my world is defined by power cylinder integrity. For the majority of engines it is the bore/ring interface that quits first. Loss of seal. Oil consumption and loss of power. Most Pro motor builders would agree and there is a good deal of information on using "Leak Down" as a primary indicator of bore integrity. At home a compression test is more the thing. If we can agree on that then I think CC Jensen has done its homework and I'd find it valid.    Now by my own definition, Dizzy, wife's Ecotec 2.4 I-4 has been dead since about 80K miles. And yet we have logged over 200K miles more on it. "Life" and "Usefulness" are therefore independent.      I know a mature fella right now who has just hit 300K on a Mitsubishi 3A92 NA MPFI motor and has done compression test every 100K. It was 205 psi after break in and is now about 195 and still even. He uses shelf oil but good filters and adheres to a 3K mile OCI. He even do UOA's on each of them for the first 50K.      I also know a fleet mechanic with that same motor that gets 300 to 500 K out of them but the are oil using, wristpin sloppy, skirt slapping motors. He ran one with a piston pin so loose the piston was bouncing off the cylinder head for about 20K miles before he called TOD. Both of them claim success.
