I went to install my snap on bed cover today and found the rails of the cover to be to narrow? I had this sports master cover on my 2001 shortbox (was ordered for it) when I sold it I kept the cover, put it on my 04 no problem with fit..it had the line-x over the rail liner this making the stake holes smaller.. I went to put it on the 05 and found that it does not cover the stake holes, aprox 1/4 inch shy on both sides at the rear and fine at the front?

 

Anyone else run into this? does this mean GM changed the box for 05? or is it the same as the 04 and such but just different then the 2001? also does anyone know of a good snap cover that will work on the 05 then?

 

Off to find me a 05 cover to order..

When I read the instructions on my Retrax Rolling Bed Cover, they said that "no two beds are exactly the same dimensions", hence the Bed Cover has built in adjustments. In fact on my 05 the front of the box is wider than the rear of the box.

I think I may have found what makes the diff.. I believe based on part numbers for different covers that the Crew Cab does indeed have a different bed size then does the ext. cab or reg. cab trucks..

 

I done some looking into some bed covers and most of what I looked at had 2004-current crew cabs listed with different numbers then the others.. So I will be buying a new one.

 

This one would work if I didn't mind the little gap at the rear stake holes, But knowing its there bugs me. So if anyone is looking for a Nice SportMaster snap bed cover Let me know...

The 2004-up CC could be referring to the 1/2 ton crew.

Which has a 5'8" long bed versus the 6'6" long bed on the 2500 CC so I would check before you order a new cover .....

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
