That's cool! They must have changed the software somewhere along the way. My 22 refresh was built in May and does not have sport mode. I admit, other than checking to see if it was there, I didn't use sport mode on my 2020, but hey I'd rather have it than not have it!

I've had my new 22 refresh AT4 diesel for a couple hundred miles and thought I'd post the few things I've noticed different about it versus my previous 2020 AT4 diesel. These are things I've noticed d

To make it more confusing, the 20 inch option on AT4 now comes with Territory MT tires as standard. You can option a 20 inch AT tire, but the standard 20 inch has a MT now too.    Honestly I

Nice! My ZR2 definitely doesn't have it. What engine do you have?

I have the 3.0 Duramax.

I admit that I just checked after seeing the original post about the differences.

How many miles were on the 20 when you traded it?

 

I just traded in my 2021 Silverado 3.0 with 33000 miles for a 2022 refresh. The engine in the new one is WAY quieter. 

Mine had about 16k miles. The new one does seem quieter, not sure if that is due to more sound insulation in the cab or something different with the engine.

Maybe sport mode depends on engine option?

 

I have a 2022 at4 refresh with 6.2 and no sport mode.

 

I can't find it now. But starting with the 21(?)s Sport Mode was removed from any Off Road trim because of the tires. It was in the fine print when researching a AT4X on the GMC site.

Makes sense. A diesel AT4 is probably the last vehicle that needs a sport mode... ha!

My 2021 AT4 has the rear door locks on the handles.

GM took them off the GMC trucks for the 2022 models.

I took the 22 on a 300+ mile trip this weekend and noticed these differences.

 

1. The trans programming is definitely different on the 22 versus the 20. The 22 will hold gears longer before downshifting. It seems much better tuned to the low-rpm torque of the diesel engine versus the 20, which I always felt like was tuned for a gas engine where it would rev higher. When using adaptive cruise and traffic clears in front, the 22 will downshift maybe 1 gear and moderately accelerate where the 20 would drop the hammer and go to the lowest gear possible and rev it out. The 22 is much better suited to the diesel engine.

 

2. The cup holders are shallower and grip tighter. Not sure I like them as well, but not a big deal.

 

3. The Duratrac tires are much noisier than I like. 40-55mph they are really noisy. Not sure how long I'll keep them but will be looking for a good AT (not MT) tire to replace them. I like the 18" wheel though - seems to ride OK and already saved me from possible curb rash. 

 

4. The electronic console shift lever is nice but also feels like a bit of a gimmick. It takes up a lot of center console space. There is a slight delay when selecting D or R for the gear to engage that isn't there with the column shifter. It looks better and I prefer the new shifter vs the old one but you also lose some space and give up the simplicity of the column shifter. It's what all the cool kids are doing though so GM has to keep up!

 

5. The new electronics are GREAT. Having Google integrated into the truck makes it super simple, don't even have to connect Android Auto. The built in Google map worked flawlessly.

To clarify, they removed them on the refresh '22. The '22 Sierra Limited has them.

I have a 22 1500 AT4 duramax (just got it 3 days ago).  It doesn't have sport mode, or the button to roll down all 4 windows (hill descent assist is the big button).

My refreshed RST has sport mode, 6.2L. No Z71. 

Had a 21 RST with the same engine but NHT.

It was a late year change in 2021 that the AT4 didn't get sport mode. GM decided the off road tires didn't need it. I had an AT4 that was built in June 2021 that had sport mode.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
