I'm having a heck of a time (for some reason) finding online prices (to get an idea) for fiberglass box lids/covers. I don't know if I'm using the wrong wording, or what.

 

I know of LoRider, Lund, Undercover, etc...

 

I just want to see what is all out there and also get an idea of what the cover itself is worth and also an idea of what the body work/painting is worth.

 

Post your pics here of what you got! Please :D

I looked at Lund they were about $600 in SW Ohio. That was for a color matched and instalation. They said they can easily be removed incase you actually need to use your bed. A buddy of mine has one and took it off and it never fit the same again so I just went with the oem tonneau. If you plan on using your bed often I would sugest this. It cost me about $300 but I bought it from GM so I am sure you could get an aftermarket one for much cheaper and get the same results that I have. I load the bike up in my truck and it wasnt worth having to deal with the fiberglass every time we take the bike back home.

I'm not surprised that you are having a hard time finding the pricing for a fiberglass tonneau cover online, as most manufactures of fiberglass covers leave the pricing up to their distributors.

I sell A.R.E, Leer and ActionKovers here and IMO the A.R.E LSII is one of the best you can get. A.R.E takes the lines from the hood of your truck and incorporates it into the design of the tonneau. Most fiberglass manufactures included the cost of painting the covers in the price of the tonneau, and to order it unpainted is not much of a savings.

Here of are a couple pictures of my old LSII. It was originally on a 01 Silverado before I put it on my 03 Sierra, so that why the hood lines are different. As you can see it came with the optional sport wing.

Gaylord and snuglid have awesome smooth fiberglass bed covers. If I was to buy a fiberglass one, they'd be my top picks.

"Gaylord", huh? Lol. Sorry, I'm more immature than I thought. :thumbs:

I went to my local accessories shop today, and priced out a Raider LoRider fiberglass bed cover. $1348 painted and installed. Seems pretty steep, but I'll have to think about it. Might have to check out other options.

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
