My 24 Duramax Crew Cab 3500 with 37s and a 4 inch lift gets 13mpg. That’s mostly city driving.

Bought this cover for my 2024 Chevy 2500HD a few weeks ago and really like the look and functionality of it. I took the measurements per the instructions and it said I did not need to use the shims - installed by myself in 30-40 minutes. A week later when driving on the interstate at 75mph my kids noticed a section of the cover lifting up off one of the side rails - about 3 feet behind the cab. Evidently the little teeth on the cover were not falling into the rail and getting locked down in that section. No adjusting or moving the cover could get the teeth on both sides to fall into their groove, so I had to go back, take it all apart, and add the shims to the rails. Now everything seems to be working and locked down good. Just an FYI for anyone that gets this cover and notices a section not getting latched down - might need to add those shims to close the gap and make it fit more snug in certain areas.

All your new truck videos have really helped me see the truck in detail before purchase. I've been trying to spec out a new Denali but the GM website won't let me add the gooseneck / fifth wheel prep package? Any idea's about that?

2024 AT4X here with the 6.6 gas and 10 speed, getting about 11.5 all around, but it does have bigger tires and a little lift to it. I see that you solely relied on the trucks MPG for your video, have you hand calculated your MPG? Some vehicles are way off, but I will say my hand calculated MPG is usually within 0.2 of what the GMC reports.

Recently installed a RecPro and had the same issue. I purchased a 10k thermistor from Trane to relocate it. My plan was to disconnect the factory thermistor (located clipped to the evap coils) and connect the one i purchased, locate it on the wall next to my old Coleman tstat. But…before doing that i, like you, experimented. I unhooked the factory thermistor from its coil cradle, straightened the wire and wrapped a soft cloth around it. There was enough wire after straightening to get it about 8” away from the coil and more into the return air plenum. The RecPro is designed to run the evap fan all the time. After these mods the unit works fine.

Nice truck but thats pretty bad mpg. My 1 ton 2019 duramax gets much better towing and empty. I was considering trading for the 6.6 gas but think I'll stick with my l5p. Thanks for the honest video!

2021 Chev 3500 6.6 Gas 4WD Z71 Crew Cab with 8ft bed 65MPH 15.9MPG Unloaded 9.3MPG-9.5MPG Loaded Trailer-3600lbs Unloaded Trailer-13,600lbs Loaded Towing a 259D3 Cat Skid Steer This is all with the 6 speed transmission. Personally, for roughly 2MPG difference compared from 6 speed to 10 speed. I personally wouldn't trade or get another truck just because of the transmission alone. My personal opinion of course but also my results comparing to your results. I've done a trip from Oceanside California to Glendale Arizona to pick up a cabinet for a jobsite and I've done my fair share of unloaded and loaded driving. Being business oriented and construction, I'm always watching my profit margin and MPG/ gas prices are a big deal for me to pay attention to and know what is getting spent and how much and why. Thought I'd share for others who are curious as well and hopefully this helps.

Was trying to see what your tire pressure was and I think if you bump up the pressure a little your mileage will be a bit better.

I think 14-15 mpg is very doable for empty daily driving. That’s what my 2022 gets. I don’t think the purpose of the 10 speed was fuel mileage though. I think its purpose is better drivability with its closer ratios to keep the engine wound up in its power band more. My 2022 is over 48,000 miles now. No oil usage. I do change oil at 3,000 miles and have since it was new. But non usage. I get 8 quarts or very close to it out at every oil change.

I have a 2024 3500 crew cab long bed i have over 8k miles on my truck. I keep track of my fuel mileage last tank i got was 15mpg. I live in Pennsylvania the roads are not flat. But i do take notice the 6.6 is sensitive to what type of fuel you run.

I have a 2024 GMC 3500HD 4x4 Std bed. I have just over 4k miles. I have checked the oil every 1k miles. Absolutely NO engine oil lost. Thanks to you, I installed the BORLA exhaust. I love it. Your videos are excellent. I am getting 11ish MPG in heavy, hot (phoenix, AZ) city traffic. 14ish MPG on all freeway at 75-80mph. 15.5-16mpg at 70mph. The Borla exhaust had a problem with my truck. The system came in 3 sections. The front pipe (closest to engine) does not fit my truck. I contacted Borla with my VIN. They did not have an answer. I'm wondering if the 3500 is slightly different than 2500. I had an exhaust shop custom fit the front section, so everything works great. Borla even sent me another pipe but it was also incorrect.

Thanks for sharing sir! Was thinking about a HD for a truck camper. But I am spoiled with a Powerboost averaging about 21 mpgs over 34k miles of mixed highway, city, and some infrequent towing of a pontoon boat or mulch trailer.

In Canada my chev silverado would open on its own when parked. When we got to the dealership the tailgate would open then lift & drop hard enough to shake the truck over & over. The dealership disconnected the tailgate until a switch comes in.

What about your 2nd most common question aka the oil consumption question ? No burn/ blow by?

Have you leveled the truck or installed air bags?

think i may be moving to a 24 from a 23, not necessarily for 10spd but for multiple reasons, main one being tax writeoff for this year and I miss the multi pro tailgate while working....the tranny and new infotainment will be bonus as I had it in a 1500 as far as the gas goes, these HD hate stop and go.....highway is totally fine and towing IDK as I haul heavy weight in the bed, never towed anything some deals are popping up....seeing aroud 5k off sticker

Looks nice! I like the versatility path you've taken. One thing to keep in mind if you see any issues with 12v items in your tent, it isn't typical to run 12v wiring in the same conduit as 120 vac wiring. With a relatively short run you should be ok but if you power computers are use audio and have buzzing it could be interference. Again great looking setup.

the bottom seal is just holding water in once it leaks, if it does get in you want it to escape or give it a chance too.....bottom seal prevents that a bit if its raining and your parked, slope your truck where the water will drain out the back...if driving nothing you can do thinking of trading my 23 in for specific purpose of that tailgate, I loved it when I had it in a 1500 and in my 2500 it would be even more so

How to charge eco flow delta one old battery, fast charge

Great review! Thanks

Isn't it stupid that you have to burn more fuel to save the planet lol

I have the Jayco Eagle 355mbqs a 2022 model, I love it I like the upper bunk my 8 year old sleeps in it. I use the loft for storage. I see Jayco have removed the upper bunk in the 25 model year 355mbqs.

all my trucks been really close to the same.... and all 6spds My best was a run from Burbank to Long Beach in so cal and reached 21mpg a few times, I do this run quite a bit.... going up its about 17-18

Just bought those sensors for my 2024 Chevy 2024 3500. The sensor diameter is to small for my camper rims. Do you know if Chevy makes a attachment to fix this?

Thank you for doing this. I used your idea to tape the inside of the shroud on the supply cold air dump permanently. I sealed the intake plenum as best as I could with foil tape and put the room temperature sensor out the bottom through the filter (leaving it up inside didn't work). Now it works perfectly. No short cycling and the temperature reads accurately. Very interesting video. I appreciate your help!

I just got this same camper. I pick it up next week. I'd love to see how you did the water pressure regulator and the water filter.

Great Video, I did the relocation kit and had the same results you are describing. And with the extra resistance I noticed the thermostat skips degrees and will only detect odd numbers, so if I set it to 72 it won’t shut off till it hits 71. Not a big deal as the camper is definitely more comfortable now. Only issue I had recently was the unit freezing up because it was running so much cause it’s so hot. The auto low fan seems to be not helping it get rid of moisture on the coil fast enough.

Thank you for this

Would have been nice if GM engineers didn't have their heads in their butts when designing that tailgate so you didn't have to buy a $250 or $300 hitch. Oh well, we'll leave it up to the aftermarket to come up with a solution for our stupidity. When that tailgate first came out I said it was going to be a problem, and it is.

Can this ecoflow go to a Bluetti powerbank with the right plug

I want to know where to find the garbage that I absorbed... I can't find mine... 😩

I'd rather pay the service tech extra money for their time to cut the tape than I would to repair critter damage. Not to mention the savings in propane during the winter! I've already got one mouse on board who's made their way into the ceiling of my bedroom last night. I'm gonna set some poison up there so he goes looking for water tonight and likely seal my underbelly tomorrow. You should have an affiliate link for Ziptape 😂 Thanks for the help! 5yrs as a fulltimer and I'm always learning new. Just replaced a transfer switch solo yesterday and feeling pretty motivated to keep the maintenance rolling while it's warm out! Thanks again!

Are you experiencing any oil use in your new truck?

Would it make sense to upgrade the car battery or the car generator to get more benefit from this charger?

Beautiful truck and good review.

Keep it out of the sun. The top will peel off of it...

You have shown the process of charging the Ecoflow battery while stopped in the forest. I wonder if it is possible to organize the alternator in such a way that it helps to charge the ecoflow while the car is moving, i.e. while traveling, when the battery is, say, in the passenger seat? Thanks.

Hi Do you interested in adding a switch panel or LED upgrade or a switch panel to your Jeep? Again We hope to do some sponsorship with you:)

Biggest issue with this cover is it isn’t functional in the winter with hard freezes and ice. What you’ll find is that the folds hard freezes to the rails and you have to yank pretty hard to break it free. Even after breaking free, you may also have to force it back down to try and secure it. Other than that, I have really enjoyed mine.

Having a 5th wheel, I really dislike that video connector being at the bumper instead of in the bed. I'm sure TT owners are happy where it is, but a flat 4 in the bed?? That just seems worthless.to me.

Had my CAT 2000 since 2018. It just ran 5 days straight to help us get through Beryl. We ran a refrigerator and fans without an issue. About 9 hours per gallon.

Man that thing is beautiful and that ain't no shit... like my dream car. I'm 40 I could drive it till I leave this place.

We bought a fish cleaning table that comes with a faucet, sink and a drain that we drain into 5 gallon bucket. We get the water from our outdoor shower that I changed out to a hot/cold quick connect shower faucet , so I can preset the temperature and get warm water to come out of the fish cleaning table faucet that is similar to your faucet.

Picked up a 2021 Denali 1500 - parked it in the garage - went to bed - next morning - tailgate it down - camera showed it dropping down after 11pm. Later that day, was towing an enclosed trailer - and while loading the trailer up over the span of two hours it dropped on its own four times. There was very heavy rain the night before. Wondering when they are going to expand this recall to 1500 models!

Not related, I can hear the transmission whine. Mine does the same thing (a 2024 as well). Is that an Allison thing? Seems to work fine.

Thank you very much. Our second trip in our new camper I realized no matter how I set the thermostat it was incorrect with our inside thermometer. Also it was short cycling just crazy. The ac would kick on and in seconds the thermostat dropped 10 degrees yet we was still sweating. I started researching and came across a few threads and this video explaining the obvious issue. You saved me a ton of trouble shooting and wasting time with the dealership warranty. I’d rather spend my time camping. Thanks so much! To make sure I do not do anything to my warranty I ordered the extension kit from castlewinch. I will cut their harness instead of the factory one but still use the two spare wires and connect the other side of the cut harness there. Then if needed 5 minutes and my factory wiring will be original. I will be doing this tomorrow morning before it gets too hot. With the details I expect no snags. Thank you and hopefully Furrion sees this and WTH were they thinking?🤔 😮

Excellent video. Thank you for the detail!

Is there no way to secure it open half way or part way? its all or nothing?

Do you feel any heat under the awning because it looks thin? Nice review.
