Looks nice, Just one question. Does that one lock and if it does where at?

 

 

It does not lock, however with a locking tailgate it is completely safe. There are 2 high tension springs on the back fold by the tailgate, so if you lock your tailgate nobody could get in.... I do not have a locking tailgate yet, but looking at the one that fits inside the handle and locks... But nothing outside of this cover to let you open it. You have to open the tailgate to release and unfold....

Hi Topdj, I am looking at the Extang, but I don't think I'll have enough room for my dog crate. If you get some free time could you measure the distance from the aft edge of the (cab) first panel to the tailgate? I don't want to have to take the cover off several times a week to haul the dog around. I need about 43” from the first panel to the tailgate for the dog create to fit. I am learning towards the Fold A Cover because I will have approx. 55” clearance.

Good to see more pics. I've narrowed it down between this and a Fold-A-Cover. Would you be able to take pics of the mounting for this? As in how it may clamp onto the rails?

It's so easy to install there is no point to post pics. Just two rotary clamps at the cab, and two high tension springs at the tailgate. They just clamp under the side of the bed, too easy.....

The tri-fold has the same clamps. I often wonder why they didn't just use spring clamps in front also. This would make it even easier to take on/off.

The front two clamps anchor the cover to the bed rails. Think the spring would allow some movement, but the t-handle clamps are a solid connection.

      WOW, something we agreed on. I only bought at sticker twice. A 94 impala ss and an Acura intagra type r. Made money on the first. Still have the second.

      I prefer new, but not without a deal. Historically I've bought severely aged new inventory, leftover model year, unpopular configuration kind of stuff that sits around on dealer lots until they just want it gone. $10k off MSRP kind of stuff on a mid-priced truck. That really, really helps knock down that first year depreciation. It also requires being somewhat flexible on colors and options. I wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder if I was looking for an 8 cylinder, but if I got blue paint instead of black, or a great deal was lacking a minor option, I'm willing to overlook those things for savings.   Used <> used. Condition and history are everything. If I'm buying used I'm looking for cream of the crop. The truck from the guy who religiously pampers it, and then decides a year later he wants newer and nicer. NOT the ex-rental vehicle, or the crew cab traded in by the family with 7 kids who like to throw food, and the oil only got changed when there was time long after the oil life monitor started alerting.

      OCI, not when but why?

      @Grumpy Bear the conclusion from your post about doubling engine life has me curious. Are we literally talking an expected life of 250,000 miles potentially becomes 500,000 miles with a step up in filtration for fresh oil at "the oil factory" when it's bottled? I know you said that's a single variable among many, but, that's significant if the implication extends that far into a real world use case. I would think the oil marketing folks would really eat that up and make it known.   Particles introduced during oil change is a fairly easy one to avoid, but probably not intuitive as one would think. I.e. using a clean funnel. But...what was it wiped with? Paper towel leaves behind little fibers. A solvent if not dried is not something one would want to introduce into their engine with clean oil. And, keeping the oil filler neck clean and free of buildup.. Look at some guys engine bays and they're an absolute mess. Some say that's better than the drawbacks of cleaning it. I'm not a buyer of that idea.   I've also wondered if "flooding" the top end of the engine with oil while filling is a bad idea. During normal lubrication the oil flows in a gutter back into the galleys. But if you flood the area you're potentially washing the top of the rockers, springs, and other areas which may not get much oil wash normally, and you're mixing all that into the new oil. I just don't have the patience to pour slowly. 😆

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      It was a bad pump, i had a dealer next day the pump. Gm part #86591535. Tools needed 10mm socket, pliers for hose clamps, 1/2gal of Dexcool. About 30mins to remove and install, pump located near oil filter on driver's side frame rail. I had a local mobile mechanic delete the code, he had a snap on scan tool. My scanner could not delete the code. I drove back home about 700 miles since then, and no check engine light. Hope this helps someone in the future in the same situation i was in. Thank you to all that helped me.
