Bought for the lock

The cover fits my 2005 Sierra 1500 BUT I wanted it for the lock. The lock key rotates 180 to lock or unlock. this key only turns 90 degrees, then you have to turn it back. to remove the key. and guess what, 99% of the time it didn't close. total pain in the ass. RETURNED

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Repair

Almost perfect for spares

It really lives up to the advertising, I'm giving them one star less because they DO NOT put any sort of cord hanging loop on the lid. How hard would it be? I mean most new cars come with hanging cover features? I missed it after I switched to this model. I could pull the cord if there was a way to attach it to the lid.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • No instructions

Vapor Leak Best Among Spare Parts

If you don't mind a slight vapor leak in the tank, this product is for you! As it is not a GM product it fits, but doesn't really fit. This means it locks and is secure but I noticed a fuel/gas smell around my truck so I checked it out and it cost me over $120 to do a smoke leak test just to see if it was mine new "failed" fuel was purchased gas cap. on Revain causes an odor. Although everything is fine. It does the job, there was just a small vapor leak.

Pros
  • Cool Product
Cons
  • Some Bugs

PURCHASED FOR 08 IMPALA. NO PROBLEM WORKS AS SHOULD AAA+!

I ACHIEVE 500 MILES WITH NO PROBLEM! WARNING NO ENGINE SERVICE OR FUEL CAP TIGHTENING. I SLEEP BETTER WITH THIS BASE LOCK, KNOWING THAT MY GAS TANK WILL NOT WORK BUT GASOLINE. A FEW TIMES I NOTICED THAT I HAD LESS GAS IN THE TANK THEN AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS OR SHOULD BE AND THOUGHT THAT I MAYBE DRIVED 100 or so miles and just forgot, BUT IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND I USUALLY DID NOT HAVE THESE MEMORY PROBLEMS AND DEFINITELY NOT 5-6 TIMES IN A SHORT TIME. THIS CAP FITS…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Minor issues

It works on a 2004 Tahoe 4.8, but it's a cheap and terrible replacement.

I rushed out of a gas station one day and ended up leaving my usable gas cap on the back of the bumper as I drove away. Well, I never saw that beautiful gas cap again and decided to ride without a gas cap for a few days. I get a terrible 9-10 mpg in my Chevy Tahoe with no gas cap. I needed a cheap replacement that wasn't too fancy just in case I left the bumper cover on and drove away. This cap is just right. It fits 2004 Chevy Tahoe 4.8L LS, but the key and lock could work together more…

Pros
  • Very fast delivery
Cons
  • Crumpled

Then it worked wonderfully.

Purchased late January 2021. Works great with my 2007 Chevy Aveo5 2.7. I bought this because my gas door lock is broken so the door can only be opened for easy access. It's been a month now, no lights, no codes. However, it can freeze in the colder months, so I would recommend lightening the lock to prevent freezing. It's really embarrassing when you're going to work almost empty and can't get your key in because it's frozen over lol. EDIT: June 4, 2021 General use, no codes. But. Doesn't…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
