    Bed Utility rail installation

    Hole Size: 0.354 inch / 9mm Thread pitch: M6-1.0mm If you're asking what Rivnuts to buy, they'll just be called M6 Rivnuts. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DKB2D58/

    Bed Utility rail installation

    The rivnuts that come with the rail are terrible. Half of them either just spun (wouldn't crush) or crushed partially and popped back out of the hole. I ended up having to buy my own rivnuts and tool to mount the rail. In the end I still don't have confidence in it. I would rather have actual...

    Sorry it took so long (things are crazy with the virus and what not). Here are some pictures:

    Poor gas mileage

    So what is the magic number when "TRUCK" MPG becomes unacceptable? 5 MPG? Just give me time and I might hit that number lol.

    Steering rack noise and losing power assist issue

    Mine makes the same sound when making a steep turn at speed but I haven't been able to repeat it on-demand yet so I haven't taken it in. I haven't had any actual steering issues though. When testing I almost thought it was coming from the speakers once (almost like the ANC was making the...

    Roll Up vs Retractable Bed Cover

    I don't but I'll try to take some this weekend. For some reason there are zero pictures of it on the internet (other than the photo I posted and 1 random photo I found on their Facebook which they made around Christmas time) so I know how you feel lol.

    Once&For all - Tonneau - Best 1?

    I second the Lomax. I have the "black urethane" version and it looks/works great. If you don't mind losing a foot of your truck bed something like the GatorTrax seems pretty nice, but I bought the truck for the bed so I didn't want to lose any space.

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    I get an odd (almost power steering pump like) whining sound when I hard turn in either direction at low speed.

    XM Guardian Only Way to Get App Remote Start? Overpriced...

    The remote start app is free for GMC isn't it? They have way more info available in their app as well (info that the 12" Uconnect lacks and the 8" Uconnect has some of).

    Keep the 1500 or move onto a 2500?

    Oh, sorry. I meant vs the 5.7 Hemi 1500. Basically it's better to go with Chevy or GMC if you want a half-ton diesel for towing (if you're laser-focused on cost/MPG). As far as the 2500 I don't know which is better between the 6.4 Hemi or the 6.7 diesel. (skip to 21:22)

    Keep the 1500 or move onto a 2500?

    Cost of ownership of the ED is higher (and you're not really saving any money with diesel fuel costs anyway). The only reason to buy one is if you need the extra towing ability.

    Tailgate release not working

    I only have to use moderate force (no harder than you would use to close a car's trunk lid). I've never had to slam mine. It sounds like FCA isn't adjusting the latch pins properly or something.

    Poor fuel mileage highway

    I wish I could get 10.7 lol. 5.7 Hemi eTorque, 3.92 axle, 22" wheels, 89 octane Mostly city driving between 35-55 MPH. Using adaptive cruise control the majority of the time (which has slightly aggressive acceleration but it's not flooring it or anything).

    Roll Up vs Retractable Bed Cover

    The Lomax with the black urethane (bed spray-in liner stuff) shouldn't have that problem. That's what I currently have and it's been great so far. I thought about getting something like a Gator Trax (similar to the Roll-N-Lock) but I didn't want to lose a foot of bedspace to it. The lomax can...

    4wd Auto jerking

    Wish I could say the same about milage lol.

    20 MPG

    I've been hoping it goes up as things "break in" but nothing so far lol. I generally just use adaptive cruise control (so it handles most of the acceleration/braking) and the speed limits around here are between 35 and 55 depending on the road (I've rarely hit the interstate so the truck hasn't...

    20 MPG

    I get around 9 MPG, mostly city, almost 1k miles now.

    4wd Auto jerking

    Mine does the same (jerking/bouncing) when at slow speeds/trying to make a tight turn (parking lot). I've never had a truck before so I just assumed it was from the 4WD/LSD/3.92 torque.
