GMC Sierra AT4 - Pros, Cons & Mods 

linktr.ee/donslife - Links to all of my products and discounts

Theres a Tundra owner in my area that must be among your viewers, top 1/4 of truck is wrapped in same fashion as yours. Trendsetter Don. 👍🏼

Finally received my 2023 AT4X On 12/30! I’ve got the “upgrade bug” real bad!! Literally have more time in ORDERING parts, than behind the wheel. Already have several Boost kits done, black badging, 1.5” spacers, same bed cover, latest Putco “Freedom Blade” light bar (waiting for delivery), NOT cheap ($563 US), hope it’s worth it! Anyway, LOVE your videos, not sure where you find all the time to be as detailed as you are, but please keep posting and I’ll keep watching!!!

I’m in MA… I just downloaded a Tint Waiver and had my doctor sign it. Mailed it back to the Registry of Motor Vehicles, and it’s that simple. But they do have the electric auto tint you can install. I mean…. I’d LOVE to see you install THAT product!

I just installed my Emblem not too long ago, and found an article by mistake. That yes, there is some kind of moisture/water intrusion issue. There is no known fix yet, other than to disconnect it. As worst case, it can damage the wires & connectors that go to the headlight. I have an idea, that my friend and I are going to try, as he purchased an emblem that is now on back order as well. Which is to spray plasti dip clear on the entire emblem to help seal it up. Not sure if it will work, but better than nothing, so fingers crossed that it will work!

I absolutely love this video! Your truck is awesome! And I love this lengthy summary video showing all of your mods in one place. Thanks for all your hard work to bring us this great content! ❤

Bought the plate LED bulbs.. and can't get my paw up in there to remove.. so, they went in the tool box.. LOL could be I'm in a 19 Denali not an at4. I watch all you stuff! Thanks!

I’m rockin the Diamondback HD bed cover with the Yakima Outpost bed rack system with an iKamper 3.0mini. Love the set up and get tons of compliments

I have been watching for a while, I appreciate your videos. I have a 21 trail boss so your upgrades are pretty much the same for my truck. Thanks again

Sweet airtime in the thumbnail 👌🏾

Been watching your videos just this last week and you have given me tons of ideas and wallet stress. Thank you for the content

Great video buddy. I’ve been doing a few upgrades to my 2022 Trail Boss because of your vids. Next up for me is the wireless charger in the armrest. Can’t wait

So the GMC logo… mine died 8 months after dealership install, dealership said… thats not warrantied the break all the time, GM will never warranty it because of that. My answer was wow that is really weird. If you read the on GM website if it is installed at any point by a GM service department it will be warranted with your bumper to bumper 3 years or 36,000 miles. The dealer I was at refused! I haven’t made time to call GM directly. Now about the back order, it’s actually a Stop Sale by GM because they were lazy making this and it piggy backs off of a headlight plug which is where the water is getting in and causing the burn out as well as a fire hazard. My guess is the Refresh trucks were hard wired to the fuse box to correct this.

Don, excellent detail. I have the AT4 on order so watching these videos is helpful. I own an F250 currently and love my newly installed Bilsteins!!! Keep up thr great work!

I've added the s@b CAI, MBRP catback exhaust with carbon Fibre tips, roadmaster active suspension, and pulsar lt. Also dipped all the chrome. Have a 2021 cherry red trail boss. Loving all of what we can do to customize these trucks to our liking. Great video!

Love the vids man, funny thing is I have a 19 trailboss and I've used alot of your ideas. Keep it up!

There's definitely a cold air intake noise... and I love it!!

Nice truck. Waiting for the new truck would be great for the channel

Thanks Don! Love the truck and your upgrades!

yes there is intake noise, have you considered baja boss AT, aggressive look very little road noise. "pros" made in USA

Great job Don!

Did you ever find the sports bar that goes with the hard bed cover? Awesome videos!

Tires and Wheels are the only major mod you are missing! All good stuff Don, I have done several of your mods and are very happy with them. I have the same problem with the under hood light - The switch really sucks. Looking forward to see what you replace it with. Sounds like you have made a decision on your tires and wheels - I am so happy with the Method NV305's and the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT's. Very Aggressive looking without the road noise and a 50k expected tread life for whatever that's worth. Check them out - Would really look sweet on your truck. My truck is on Custom Offsets if you want to check them out further.

Pro: All these mods make for a fun and interesting channel. Con: All these mods make me realize how lazy I am....

Look into BillieBars system. What I’m getting for my 2020 SLT with similar bed cover. Minor modification to cover

GREAT VIDEO No White Sunglasses please I would have to cancel your subscription lol 😂 ✌️🇨🇦

I can't seem to find your video where you did your front Bilstein shocks. Did you say it gave you a bit of lift in the front? Looking at options to level my Trail Boss. Awesome truck and your videos are great!

Great channel, just came across it today. Thanks for sharing your ideas, mods and links . Subbed👍

For you switches on the inside.. Can you use the guts of the after market version and the GM switches? Best of both.

I also didn't see the link for the ai system thing to watch movies and stuff..my son would love that

Anybody have a hack to add under dash floor lighting to a 2022 Silverado?

Awesome. What kind of wrap is that 3m like matte black and shiny black camo? Looks great!!! GR8 vid

Now that you’ve been running your Borla Exust, anything you might do differently or suggest during the installation on the AT4.

if you want a better tow get a Hensley hitch night and day difference

All season tires are quiter.

Awesome

Have you thought or consider maybe putting a lift kit on the AT4 ?

Thanks for another great video. I am a bit confused about the Fog Light mod though. I was under the impression that with the fog light mod, the fog lights automatically came on with the high beams and that you couldn't turn them off. What you said in this video made it sound like you can turn your fog lights on and off whenever you want whether your high beams are on or not. Please clarify.

I’d love to see your thoughts and install on the Turtle 2.0 light controller. I’ve seen videos out there on it, but I like your videos and input better than most. I’m sure it would be a cool feature to add to your lovely ride

As someone who is in the middle of the factory upfitter switch install, the con of all the wiring coming inside is a high concern. Not an easy install to do by yourself. Hardest part is getting the wiring through the firewall (even with the supplied pass thru).

Awesome content. What size tires are you running? Thanks

How about a train horn with the new air tank and compressor?

Mods to address 6.2 lifter issues? And how does one deactivate Stop/Start nanny?

Are your rims Hyper Dipped? If so, how are they holding up with all the off-roading you do?

Don, since leaving in the onboard air compressor, consider a tank and air-horn kit??

Which part of canada ? I’m in Alberta, Calgary, I’d love to see that truck with those mods up close..I’ve done many mods in the past but most of them left always a trace or a big cons..kinda wanna see with my eyes !

Love your channel Just wanted to ask is there a way to switch the traction and stability control off 100% and I don’t mean holding the switch that’s inside I mean 100% off, would be amazing to know been searching for a while and couldn’t find anything useful I have a 2019 AT4 Sierra

Thanks Don… Question I have a 2022 refreshed GMC Sierra 1500 6.2. Am pulling a 5000 lb 26ft Rockwood mini. Does about 2.5 in squat and a little bouncy. I do have trailer stabilizer As doing just one mod would you suggest new better shocks or air bags? Thanks

Witch link is the one puddle lamp hook up like you did with high beams on/ puddle lights on with high beam

You Mods and videos are great!!! Thank you!! Keep it up! We have the same truck. I am also going to be towing heavy and 1000 pound tongue weight trailer. I am considering installing the Airbags AND Bilstein 5100s. When you mentioned the ride got harsh when empty, what PSI were you running the Bags unloaded? How much rougher did the ride get? Do you attribute the roughness to the combination of the 5100s and airbags or just the Airbags?

So basically you have all the mods I want.. Good video and thanks for all my next ideas. My wife will be happy.. Not lol

Is the stalk AT4 a rougher ride then a SLT or Elevation?

If you go to the gmc aux switch panel could you just wire those into the harness for the 8-switch panel you currently have? Then let the wires stay in the engine bay and just pass through the single wire bundle from the other one

Did you take the level lift off when you put the bilsteins on ?

Have you noticed how when you do a mod about 4 other people do the same mod making out their the first

Do you have links to suppliers of these products or a web store?

I don’t see a link for the wireless console charger?

Air tank = Air Horn!!

where did you buy the knobs covers. i have been looking for some but haven’t had any luck finding them.

I had a sport bar and hated it

Wondering what you torqued the wheel spacer to the hub at and the wheel to the spacer at? I just installed the same brand as you and did 140 ft-lbs for both but I’ve read a lot on the internet about having issues with torquing them too much? Makes me feel better that you’ve had good success with Richeer wheel spacers but not sure if I went too high with the torque.

Any issues with exhaust when cylinders deactivate?

I wish more Americans would adjust their lights properly. I adjust my lights out of consideration of oncoming traffic and I turn off high beams as soon as I see on coming traffic more than 2000meters away on a straight away.

Where did you get the infotainment system ?

How many miles do you have on your front Bilstein struts?

what kind of fuel economy are you getting average and you running 93 octane

A BIG N O on BMW videos.

Sports bars are the 80's mullet trash mods.

Nickleback, Justin Bieber ???. Come on man, at least go with RUSH 😊
