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.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
