On another note, where do I get that jacket you were wearing?

I have the Firestones on mine and haven't had an issue in the 15 or so months they've been on. (Airide doesn't make a mounting plate for the Denali apparently.) 100% agree with you about the bags, though. It feels so much better towing with them.

That’s something tuners would use, not trucks

Don, does your escalade rear entertainment system have the ability to send map destinations to drivers as on 21 models? I can't find that featured on mine.

I’m a new to me AT4 6.2 owner 2022. First big V8 in a very very long time. I could hear, without understanding, what this video is all about. L9 is gonna be a must do for a few months, thanks for this

Did it work for both your gmc vehicles ? Meaning plug and play ? Do you have to reprogram everyone you tow with specific gm vehicle or program once and good to go for future trips ?

Awesome vid!

Hey Don, not to get off topic but have you gotten the recall for the tailgate switches? I have but was told by the dealer that there is a recall for the recall. My inner tailgate hasn’t worked since January. I was thinking of just ordering a switch and waterproofing it myself

Just bought a 2019 fully loaded. Thank you for teaching me about the features my truck has from factory and great ideas to add. Weirdest thing about my truck is a full on metal safe with combo lock in center console

are you ever gonna due the video of subscriber truck mods?

Great job 👍🏼like what you have done to your AT4 1500

I'm glad my 6.2 Escalade Esv is a 2007, the year or 2 before they activated the AFM system, i guess on my year it has the hardware but wasn't utilized till 2008 or 09. i currently just hit 180,xxx miles on her and do all my oil changes. i go by the computer oil life tho and once it falls to 20 to 25 percent oil life i change it. I use full synthetic Pennzoil oil and a Boss Purgalator oil filter. Good too know for the future cause if this one ever goes out i might get another or equivalent..

Can’t wait to see the new display. 😊

You are awesome!!!!

I feel like the condensation developed in the catch can it self, the air from the crankcase is hot and then spool around in the can I believe developes the water 💧. I have a catch can install on my small block chevy boat engine and it's pretty hot when the engine running and alot vacuum in it that the intake pulling.

I have always loved the AT4 but just went and bought a new truck and turn it down for a fully loaded elevation with the sherrod package. It’s a beast

I picked up the Freedom Blade after your video on it. Only real negative I have about it is that they eventually sent me a relay kit since my 2023 Sierra Denali (1500) did NOT like having a fuse tapped (the one they told me to) to power it. Even when using a better fuse tap item, it still gave issues. Either the engine stop/start wouldn't work, or the 'check engine' light would come on. I eventually ran a wire to the passenger side fuse panel and tapped into the ONE switched fuse located there. Seems like the refreshed (current generation) trucks have less provisions for us to add mods to them. Which really sucks. I also had to get the Gen5DIY kit to tap into the power from the rear view mirror to power my dash cam setup. Again, due to the lack of switched fuses inside the truck cab. Luckily, I don't have a real need to have the dash cam running when not driving. Hopefully, I'll never need that (I tend to NOT travel where it could be needed).

Thank you

Help !, idk why but my doesn’t show the mph/km nor the wifi signal, just like going back in forth

Bigger screen HINT HINT. I see another truck coming.

Very helpful!!!! Coming from a tacoma to a new silverado I was not aware of this issue

Beautiful truck !!! Love the color 👍🍺🍺

Under $500? Noo waaaay. Lol

I got the same setup i wired everything up when i connected to my auxbeam switch panel its turns on for a few seconds then turns off automatically and i would have to press the power button in the app to turn back on and it switches off after a couple seconds. Any idea why its doing that instead of staying on? Is there a specific fuse power i need? ( i have it in a 30 fuse slot)

I had the same truck as yours. 2021 gmc AT4 6.2. The 4 lifters on the left side collapsed @ 40k mile. Had it repaired and traded it for the Chevy 6.2 ZR2. Hope I have better luck. Thanks for your good comments.

Thank you sir, been following you for a good min, just did this mod and it works like a charm, followed your steps and it came out to perfection, once again Thank You!!!

Great video, Don! Sounds awesome! I saw AEV just released the skid plates that are on the bison trucks. Have you considered getting those for some better protection on your AT4?

It sounds great... better than stock imo.... I recently purchased a 24 Denali 1500 6.2 with the active exhaust. It seems to me it fully opens the valves when I shut the vehicle off and remains open after start up for a few seconds (when not in Sport mode) is this the same as your C8?

I am considering one of these as a guy. Yes, it may not be as sophisticated as the europeans but at the same time, I'm American so if I'm buying something that expensive I want to be big as possible, can carry me and my family comfortably whenever we have huge road trips and outlive me cause the thing is our roads are huge, the car better run up to even a million miles. It seems like something I'd trust on a road trip. Also with European vehicles, My knee likes touching the dashboard a lot and I feel claustrophobic.

You need a Quickjack!

Hey there Don's Life, could you Please tell me how this Virtual Blade's amber turn signal looks in direct sunlight? Is it bright enough to be the main turn signal? I'm thanking of using them for the running light/ drl and turn signal on a completely custom vehicle Thank you sir!

The word is about not aboot say it correctly

Great vid, Don! Great to see Mrs. Don's life helping, as well. Well done with instructions and a how-to. Now, if I only had a C8. :D

Tried it a dozen times and keeps asking me to update and won't open

As soon as I heard you say the cable was the same, I ordered mine to replace my 8 position switch. My existing one is in the same place as your new one. I love your videos they are helping me with modifications. Can’t wait until tomorrow when my 12 gang panel gets delivered.

Sounds fantastic! Where would you be without Mrs Donslife! You guys are so great together.

I had my Sierra shoot all the same codes when I had the front caliper apart I cleared the codes and it’s never done it or been an issue again.

6.2 motors have a habit of major motor failure with no warning.

Donslife needs to become a sitcom. With Mrs. Donslife it is kinda like Home Improvement.

Great video Don. Much improved looks and sound for sure. Any drone with the valves open?

While the C8 does monitor the valve position electronically; MBRP built travel stops into the bracket/hub assemblies, so the NPP actuators see the exact same position and range of travel as the OEM setup. I was especially careful (which is in the video) to reinstall the actuators in the fully open position. This is also where the car last saw the position of the valves. In the event a relearn was needed, I can pay the dealer to perform the procedure relatively easily. So far it has been 6 days of daily driving and no issues.

Thanks for stopping by! 🙌

Can't wait to hear it in person #rallylife

Whats the radar for?

You didn't mention anything about the exhaust valve relearn. It's my understanding that any new exhaust system on the C8 requires a relearn or the car will eventually throw a check engine light. The dealer usually has to do the relearn although I believe some scan tools will allow you to do a relearn yourself.

Let's go!

🔥

Awesome stuff Don!

Love the new exhaust. Sounds nice and Nasty when you flip the switch to Beast Mode. Great job U2. The Escalade needs a new Corsa exhaust to complement the C8. Keep the great vibes rolling. 🤘😎🤘🔥🔥👍👍
