From our past videos it is apparent we love our GMC trucks but there are a few things we find annoying. The Engine Stop-Start (ESS) is by far one of the most annoying things I have found on the 2021 GMC Denali and the "AutoStop Eliminator" has change my driving experience.

From the AutoStop Eliminator website:
Disable The Auto Stop On Your Vehicle
What is Auto Stop-Start? The Auto Stop-Start or Engine Stop-Start (ESS) vehicle feature is designed by auto manufacturers as an attempt to improve fuel economy while a vehicle is at rest. How this feature works is by when the brake is applied and the vehicle is stopped, the engine temporarily turns off and automatically restarts as the brake is released. Unfortunately, real-world fuel savings are minimal and this functionality is forced upon consumers without an option to permanently disable auto start-stop.
The AutoStop Eliminator is an intelligent device that plugs into the back of your GMC Sierra 1500 auto stop-start switch assembly. It restores your preference for auto start-stop automatically which eliminates the need to press the button after each ignition cycle.
Unlike diagnostic port solutions for GM vehicles, our device will not:
Disable the malfunction indicator light (check-engine light)
Drain the battery
Disable Active Fuel Management (AFM)
Interfere with airbag functionality
Keep the vehicle in diagnostic mode

Auto StartStop is a feature added to help increase battery and starter sales.

@michaelsheets6851 5 месяцев назад

Most cars don't use the starter to restart. The torque converter is designed to hold the pressure to spin the motor over when you lift the brake.

@paulwitmer7138 3 месяца назад

Not to mention short Block sales

@paulwitmer7138 3 месяца назад

Nope the torque converter does not hold pressure and does not restart an engine sorry

@michaelsheets6851 3 месяца назад

@paulwitmer7138 in some of the engines with start stop it does. Some use the electric motor in a hybrid engine. Some use the starter.

@d.Cog420 Месяц назад

@@paulwitmer7138 Mazda is using i-Stop technology that doesn’t rely on the starter at all. Instead, it utilizes engine combustion to get things moving. When the driver lets off of the brake pedal, a fuel injector in one of the cylinders fires, igniting a spark plug, causing the engine to start with the help of combustion, rather than wearing out the electric starter motor.

@jmc6940 3 месяца назад

I recently stumbled onto a video that studied the auto start stop function by way of engine oil analysis. The conclusion was that less wear particles were generated with auto start stop functional. With the function disabled the engine had higher idle time which means higher fuel dilution levels which is the main contributor to lower viscosity and higher wear levels. Interesting case study.

Thank you for going to all the trouble to post this very helpful video. I was still leery of this involved installation process, but being reasonably mechanically inclined (and some would give me more credit than this) I decided to go for it...even at 76 years of age. The Autostop Eliminator website has links to its own installation video, but I found your step-by-step video to be far superior. I would hit pause after each key point and head out into the garage to get past that same point, then return to your video and head to the next step. Granted, these instructions are specific to nearly identical vehicles, but having a 2022 Silverado this video met my needs perfectly. I would greatly encourage anyone considering purchasing and installing the Autostop Eliminator to watch this full video first. This would help you decide if this is a project that you want to tackle yourself. (Installation will likely take considerably longer than you might think.) There are plenty of opportunities to make mistakes--especially with damaging trim--but if you are detail-oriented and careful this is definitely doable. I am EXTREMELY pleased to have this modification. Some of us simply don't like to have this level of government mandated irritation forced upon us. Not everyone's driving situations are identical, and we should be entitled to have some personal control over what we purchase.

I just bought a 2020 Acadia, and the first and (so far) only thing I've discovered that I don't like is this auto stop deal. I drove it to work today, and was confused at first why it took a second to take off from a red light. But I would much rather just push the stupid button when I drive to work than to tear my SUV apart to save the .5 second inconvenience of... pushing a button. That said, it's still an awful "feature" and design. There's no reason it can't remember my preference when I turn the damn thing off.

@jim634 8 месяцев назад

The easiest fix for cars/trucks with that feature, but do have an "L" setting with the + and - buttons, is don't put your transmission to "D" - put it to "L" then use the + button on the shifter to the highest gears available, eg, 9 if it's a 9 gear drive. The car will then drive and shift up and down it's full gear range perfectly normally, but it bypasses the auto stop.

Now my engine runs continually till I turn off the key. I love 1980's technology, and back, and back, and back when things were so much simpler, and for the better. THESE AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS HAVE TO STOP MAKING A NAME FOR THEMSELVES IN THEIR DEPARTMENTS OF EMPLOYMENT AND LEAVE THINGS ALONE.

@jeffallen3598 10 месяцев назад

I believe there is a second battery under the driver seat which is used to keep services running when the engine stops and saves you from hammering the main battery. I have a 2019 Silverado and even with this feature still on, that battery is just about dead and my engine hasn’t stopped within the last year and a half. I think the car is programmed not to stop if the battery cant handle things. I think its also responsible for starting the car when its in Auto start too and you need a good strong battery to do all that. So thats probably the easier way. If you notice, at a stop with auto stop engaged your vehicle will stay off for longer if you aren’t using AC. With AC on, my truck always started back up on its own after about 60 to 120 seconds and got shorter over time as that battery aged till the last year+ where i started to notice it not stopping anymore.

Damn, where did that red locking clip run off too? I remember in the old days, installing an aftermarket radio and new speakers was similar to what you went through.

I bought a wiring harness for my 2020 terrain. It plugs into harness next to battery. Has a wire that goes on the battery ground cable. Comes with zip ties so harness can be secured. Takes 5 minutes.

For some reason, my start/stop feature stopped working and is showing an error message on my Jeep. Each time I take it in to the dealer, I very clearly tell them NOT to fix it.

I guess for $90+ bucks each plus a couple tools I might not already own, my finger works just fine on the shut off button with my '19 F150 and '17 Escape.

Is the cost of a starter ($227) worth saving 5 gallons of gas in a year? Probably not. GM engineer are so smart!! (Insert eye roll here)

Whenever I do these kind of jobs , I can’t get the molding back on so it sits on a shelf in my garage until I sell the vehicle.

There should have been a button that you press so it stays off at all times and press it again if you want it to work again

My 2023 3500 HD Duramax doesn't have a ESS system. My guess is Diesel's don't get it. Nice.

@democratsareterrorists 10 месяцев назад

The 3.0L duramax has it but 2500/3500 gas and diesel don’t

might be easier to replace the starter if and when it goes out.

@Fulloctanegarage Месяц назад

For me it is not all about the starter, it is about choice of not being mandated to use an unwanted feature. It was worth every bit of the hour I spent installing this product, I would do it all over again. I can still use the feature if I like by clicking the switch, the best of both worlds. Thanks for watching

I disable the auto stop start every time I drive . One reason is it overworks you started

@markmanning5683 7 месяцев назад

Auto Stop and DFM are 2 of 3 biggest mistakes with GM Trucks, no matter if it is Chevrolet or GMC. Number Three mistake are the Transmission Shudder from Torque Converter problems. GM has known about these Transmissions for years and keeps pumping them out, now GM finds itself in a major Lawsuit. I hope they loose their asses over this.

@Canikissyou-is7zc 5 месяцев назад

Easy fix: remove the switch for star/stop in the switch box. That all you can do

@jamman7344 9 месяцев назад

I don't like that automakers put the auto start and stop button far off to the center console instead of near the driver steering wheel

@timbuchman9158 Год назад

For me it is easier to select shifter to neutral when stopped..same effect..does not stop engine😊😎

@@marekkrepa9982 It doesn't hurt the transmission. Been doing this on my 2019 Equinox since new. Been Also doing it on my 2006 3500 Silverado since new. 150,00 miles later, trans hasn't had any issues. No auto stop on the 2006. It just keeps the truck from wanting to creep forward if I don't hold the break pedal hard.

A lot of work to save 0.5 seconds of effort to hit the button when you start your vehicle.... a lot of work to solve a nuisance problem.

@Fulloctanegarage 2 месяца назад

The 5 seconds add up over time but better than that it makes me happy to not have to think about one more useless thing
