When I start my truck I look like an airplane pilot.. flipping switches and the garage door clicker lol

No one buys a v8 and wishes they can save gas🤦‍♂️😂

took this guy 5 minutes to start with taking the sh** apart! The longest ever "Get to the point" video. Thanks. Never get that time back!

Had mine installed in 20 minutes, but I don't have a full center console. It was basically removing the two lower trim pieces, and the center stack. The 7mm bolt was the hardest part....it turned forever until I just got my drill out and powered it out. Sucks if you have a full center console though. It has worked flawlessly for about two months now!!! I've never turned it back on. For those considering....you never have to worry about forgetting to hit the switch and cursing at a stop light when the engine stops! I bought a truck for a V8...I want it to run. Not have my passenger ask me if my truck just stalled out. Or have to wait for it chug back to a start. Every time it chugged back on I felt like I was driving an old jalopy.

A lot of people are looking for ways to disable the Daytime Running Lights. A standard procedure for many drivers is immediately after starting the vehicle they rotate the light switch counterclockwise to put the lights in manual mode. A device to automate this would be terrific.

Simply next to the battery, unplug it. A Ford worker showed me, where it was. He said it doesn’t hurt anything, also it let’s you do something with the navigation while you are driving. I haven’t used that yet, but I will shortly when I have the opportunity. So I cannot comment on that honesty. But my truck has been unplugged over a month. No warning lights or issues. The truck is fine. He also said it doesn’t effect the warranty. But the plug is small and right next to the battery. Just unplug one at a time until the autostop light is on your dash, just like it does when you push the button. Best of all it’s free and simple.

Yeah, I'll just keep hitting the 1 button bro

I don't like the auto stop feature but I also find no issue with getting in the habit of pushing the off button.

Too much negativity on here. Nice video, well explained and shown. For those uninterested, don’t do it. Don’t beat up the guy trying to help all of us.

Thank you very much for this practical video. Mine was a little different as I have bucket seats. But your instructions allowed me to see where the pressure clips were. Keep up the good work.

Damn you GM, you couldn’t just make it a software edit

I got the easy way. I bought AFM/DFM disabler for my 2019 Chevy silverado. You just plug in to the OBD port. This device do two things at the time, disable the auto stop and dynamic fuel management system.

The auto stop also wears out the starter and flywheel.

The emissions produced by idling at a stop sign or light is a fraction of what's emitted when autostop causes a failure requiring replacement parts. The only time autostop makes sense is if you're driving in extremely dense stop and go traffic where you're stationary for minutes at a time.

When you started taking it apart I wanted to cry 😢

The reason I turn my auto stop off is due to the fact, the engine gets hotter when it shuts down. It can climb another 50, 60, or 70 degrees when turned off. I’d rather have the water flowing thru the engine and keeping it cool as much as I can. I had an older truck that ran at 180 degrees normally, but when turned off it would reach 240 degrees before cooling back down. As far as I know, heat equals pressure, and pressure equals strain on gaskets and hoses. Plus, replacing the starter will suck one day.

Your sure drinking the kool-aid. The few seconds to one minute the vehicle is off, isn't going to save the planet LOL.

Awesome thanks. Just got my Silverado and that’s the first thing I’m looking to do to it.

An engine uses as much fuel restarting all time, as it would at idle, maybe even more. This feature was offered to make people feel good while they drive. Not to mention wear and tear on your starter and draining your battery. Great video.

This is a ridiculous amount of work needed to do this. GM needs to give us a way to disable this in the menus, this is crazy.

Would love to install one in my new Silverado, but my worry is that if I have an electrical problem somewhere in the truck, my warranty claim would be denied. I have NO doubt that this device is harmless, but I can see GM using it as an excuse to not fix my truck

you can always put a cut trailer plug into the back which makes it think its pulling a trailer and shut off the auto start/stop. or in case of a ford - shut off the system via software.

Did mine today went without a hitch. Video was helpful.

What are you running that USB-C plug to that is plugged into your center console?

The video you have made is missing the actual installment of the part. I request that your video is updated that shows the actual part being installed without any break in video footage.

That is really slick! However if you use L (not D) the autostop does not "run". The only "not nice" part is you need to click up 9 times to get into L10. But the truck won't shut off when you stop.

Truck runs smoother after you install this.

Seems like a good option. Pulsar LT is also a good option. You get improved throttle response, disable AFM, and you can toggle the auto stop on or off.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the info!

Nice! I have been looking for a how to for my panels in my new GMC Sierra! New subscriber here. Also I grew up in northern Minnesota so I know about -20F! I now live in Texas. All the best.

Outstanding! I share the same frustration dealing with selecting off everytime I start the truck. My on my concern is....will this effect the warrenty in the event there was ever an electrical issue??

My 2021 Silverado has a on off switch but every time you restart the truck you have to turn it off again starts a truck you have to turn it off again and again every time you drive it why won't it stay off

Not worth the $100 imo. But I agree its a pesky feature. I wonder what would happen if you just pulled the power from the switch

Great Video!!!! Thanks for the clip and a nice "How To" on the autostop eliminator. I plan on doing this to mine later on as it does get annoying.

Great video. Yeah I’m not a fan at all of the truck turning off every time I stop. I just got my truck the other day and I can’t stand it!! But at the same time I’m not gonna mess with anything electrical. I will just reach over and flip the switch every time I start my truck.

Gonna need all the info. Just got a 2021 chevy RTS 6.2L. Small upgrade from my old 08 Colorado with the I-5.

My 2020 Silverado Z71 RST auto stop quit working 4 months ago. I've checked all the reasons why, tow haul, fuses, etc and I just don't know why. Since it quit, my around town MPG is lower. I miss it actually. Enjoy your electric truck and remember how much ore and diesel fuel are used to make the batteries. Also, where does the power come from to charge it?

I have a 2020 Ford F-150 XLT and the button for that is on the dash, don’t get me wrong I’m a GM guy but got such a good deal had all the features I wanted I couldn’t pass it up, but I promise guys the next one will be a GM truck!

This was the first mod I did. Completely agree with you.

Dude you have the best videos 100%!!!!!

Another Great video! New subscriber 👍🏼

Mine disabled in my Sierra idk why any help? Thanks in advance

What’s the big deal about turning the button on or off ?

I am sold, but is there any options to install a front facing camera? For the life of me, I can’t believe they wouldn’t offer this on the off-road purpose Trail Boss!! Any suggestions?

Your truck isn't doing a damn thing to the environment.

You got a kool-aide mustache there buddy.

I put a range technology on my 2021 and fixed that and the AFM .

Thanks for the information! Very informative!

My question is wouldn’t it burn more gas shutting it off and turning it back on every time u get to a stop sign

Can you do a video of how to permanently disable the power lift on a 2021 silverado?

It doesn't bother me. Fortunately, the truck comes with a button and I can trun it off as soon as I sit in the car. I prefer not to mess with rhe wiring.

My Jeep Cherokee has a simple green disconnect behind the battery. It took 2 seconds to disconnect it. I don't know why all vehicles don't have the same simple disconnect.

Thanks for posting! I’m about ready to tackle my own installation on my ‘21 AT4. This helps a lot!

If you go to Range Technology. Com you can buy a plug n play that will keep your truck in 8 cly and delete the auto/stop at the same time for $200 had one on my 17 Denali, and getting my new one for my 20 AT4 tomorrow they work great 👍

Much needed. Thanks for video

I searched the site for AE004 and it comes up for fords?? Our trucks appear to be AE030

Is it Z71? I couldn't see a badge.

What did you do. All I seen that you did was unplug it

Are they available for the new 2022 silverado refresh?

I see you drank the KoolAid....

Auto Stop is ridiculous. As you hinted, the worse thing for your vehicle is when you start it cold. The second worse is when you start it warm. Anytime you stop the engine, the oil drains into the oil pan. So when you restart the engine, once more the engine is briefly oil starved! If they had an oil pressure accumulator system, they could still pump oil through the stopped engine. But there's no such thing in these.

_GM should've introduced a powerful v6 for the Tahoe/Yukon/burban/silverado/sierra etc with this feature if they were aiming for fuel efficiency not for a v8..._

I will definitely be looking into getting it. Good video and information! Looking forward to the intake video.

Great video thank you.

Will the 23sierra version work on 23 Canyon/ Colorado? They have the same engine

Also do you know anything about the radio on the 2021 if I'm driving it I turn off the radio but when I turn the truck off and restart it the radio comes back on every single time

Great video, how much are these for the 2021 silverado?

You live in Minnesota and you are “ looking forward to getting an electric truck”? Yeah good luck with that😂

Thanks for the video. Auto Stop is by far the worst invention ever made. I have grown to find out that anytime a vehicle manufacturer makes a feature that helps save fuel it always causes wear and tear failures later down the road.

Spend another $100 and get the Range. Will also disable the DFM.

Too much of a hassle. Why did you put a Z71 badge on your glove box ?

it looks like they have discount codes. is there one for your viewers?

Do you have an issue with your back up camera at night with it being too bright and glary. My camera is so bright I can't see anything in the camera or my side mirrors at night from the reflection of the brightness. 2019 Sierra. Go Vikings!!

But doesn’t the truck already come with an on/off switch? I have mine set to off. What does this part do that the switch doesn’t? Edit: never mind me, it’s simply to keep it off when starting the truck. Thanks for the vid!

Where can I get the same peace you have

Have a quick question i have noticed when i leave my 21 silverado running and i step out of the truck to direct traffic for my fire department my truck will shut down shutting off my emergancy lights has anyone found a way to stop the truck from shutting off after the time

Although I appreciate the effort - I am not disassembling my new truck- hitting the button like I do now works fine!

Although when they do come out I’ll still get one over a mini van 😎

You will be a fan of it if fuel prices keep going up.

I don’t know what’s the big deal….when I forget and realize its on all i have to do is push the button

Nice project to get out of the way. However i'm curious about the Z71 badge on the glove box, where did you buy that and how does it mount. Was it adhesive or bolt on. Thanks Much

Is there a fuse I can pull to disable it ?

Does this solve the truck shutting off when idle for more than 15-30-1hr-10hrs????

At least my truck doesn't shut off when the ac is on. My durango would shut off and blow hot air at me.

Do you get green lines on your screen when you start your car after installing this?

yea ripping $65k apart to trust 100$ dongle....im still on the edge over but thanks for the content

So happy my custom trailboss doesn’t have auto start/stop

It shortens your starter life!

Hey can you tell me about your phone mount ?

Is there a way to turn the far left inactive button on that switch panel to a functional switch? Im wanting to add some more lighting but don’t want to drill or cut the dash for switches

There is NO-ONE!!!!! on planet earth that buys a V8 vehicle…specially a TRUCK, that is concern about gas mileage. We are totally ok with the trade off.

$71,000 GMC Dinali and you want me to use a prototype? Talked to the dealer and they said it would void the warranty.

Does this also disable the AFM? Not sure if this is all connected or if two seperate things

Where do you buy it, from what I've seen it's pretty expensive.

They need a way to do away with that stupid switch AND the 4cylinder mode.

Hi Where you get that Z71 logo by glove box? Thank you

Why don’t you just disassemble the whole truck. Pushing the button when you get in the truck seems a whole lot easier.

Don’t beat yourself up over the climate change according to what they said 20 years ago none of us should even be here right now so believe what you want to we don’t lose sleep at night worrying about it because they’ll just move the goal post

Ask your starter how it likes it. The amount of "fuel" you save vs cost of a new starter.

Actually they do trash the battery!!!!!
