2024 GMC At4x Tow/Overland

@ZooMad75 what kind of locker is in this thing? It's weird all the facebook groups have no idea about the shocks or lockers in these trucks.
Without looking into my laptop the at4x 2500 trucks get the G94 option code electronic selectable rear locking diff. Just looking at the order guide doesn’t give me the supplier but I’m guessing it’s probably an Eaton unit. 2500’s don’t get a front locker like the 1500’s and Canyon/Colorado versions get.

I’m somewhat shocked (pun not intended )a at4x facebook group wouldn’t know about the type of shocks they run.(though Facebook groups aren’t full of Mensa level smarts either) They are Multimatic DSSV units and are pretty killer units in the world of off road shocks. Surprisingly the first vehicle used them on was the gen 5 Camaro ZL1 proving it’s not just good off road. DSSV stands for dynamic suspension spool valve. Which that’s where the magic happens. The spool valve , which is located in part of the big blue anodized reservoir is what allows the shock to change calving based on how fast the shock piston is moving. It’s completely mechanical and yet can still adjust valving in milliseconds without a computer.

If price is any indicator, back when I was at the dealer the Colorado rear DSSV shock was about $1800 per unit over the retail parts counter. It’s just as spendy as any other high end aftermarket off road shocks. One thing that GM does not advertise is like other high end shocks they are rebuildable. GM dealers won’t do it but there are some places you can find online to rebuild them.

Thanks, I did ask the dealership about maintenance on the shocks and they looked at me weird. So far every 5k miles it gets a oil change, tire rotation and a fuel filter because it's cheap and easy to do.
 
48k miles it’s getting a ac compressor, idler and pitman arm. The factory air filter has lasted longer. :haha:

If it wasn’t for the 200k mile warranty it would get a D60 so much faster.
 
How hard did they hit it? It looks like it moved the gap in the door?

Not very hard, I can flex the metal with my index finger. It's a skin bolted to the inner structure. I took a screw driver and bent it off the door and did the rest with my hand. It's a joke how they built it.
