Are you saying that a 'refreshed' AT4 doesn't have sport mode but the pre-refresh AT4 does?

 

Refresh OM does say:

 

Drive mode availability and affected vehicle
subsystems are dependent upon vehicle trim
level, region, and optional features.

 

22 refresh owners manual does also have sport mode listed as one of the ones that may be available. 

 

 

Just curious if the refreshed truck you're asking about is also an AT4

My last few vehicles have, had sports mode even the CRV. Basically it drops a gear for slightly quicker response. Depending on vehicle and if you have electric power steering it can change the feel. Same if you have active exhaust. The more expensive vehicle and different brands have different engagements. My personal favorite was the option of adding E-85 putting in a caned tune using manual mode and shifting myself. The fine art of personal engagement is being reduced to buttons that really don’t do much. Depending on brand. I rather have the stick shift option. But if we’re reduced to buttons I’ll use it. If you don’t have the button tow-haul is about the same if you can’t figure out manual mode. Of course that could be gone too. It’s been awhile since I test drove a new truck.

My refresh 2022 2.7T Silverado has sport mode.  I seem to recall reading something about it missing on refresh AT4?

AT4/Trail Boss (refreshed) came without it depending on which tires were on the truck when built. Trucks with 20” wheels seem to have it.

 

all other trims have sport mode still.

well I have a refresh custom 4x 2.7 that came with 20" and haven't seen sport mode anywhere, I'll have a look next time a drive and see if I can find it, not that I care, I would have gone for a camaro if needed more zip zang than this thing has already 😉

Customs don't.  They don't have the full drive mode settings.  LT and higher trims will.  

 

The drive mode knob is either tow/haul on or off.

You're really not missing nothing if you don't have sport mode, I have it and its nothing to write home about and never really understood why it would be in a truck anyway.

Exactly what Silverado4x4 said. You can barely tell a difference. My current truck is the first vehicle I've owned that had a sport mode. Recently I rented a car that had a sport mode... It was night and day difference going from normal to sport mode. In the truck, you can tell is shifts quicker, but that is it. You are not missing anything.

Makes me wonder if I’m missing anything not having the “Off-road” mode? 
 

My brain says I’m not because I don’t go off-road.  
 

My heart says I need this feature just in case.

      Ac not keeping up

      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?
