Ok, detailed instructions here - look under seat, find wire that goes to buckle, you'll see where there wires hook to a harness or something, unplug the wire (electrical connector). Make sure you leave wire where it won't get cause in the seat tracks. Done.

 

I just cut them, figured I'd have to splice the ends together, but nope, normally closed sensor so when it's open it means you're buckled.

Seat belts, airbags....what could possibly go wrong!! :confused:

Does this only disable the chime?

Since insurance companies give discounts for seatbelt,airbags,abs disabling them are called FRAUD and if you have an accident your in deep trouble.

I can't believe people are so quick to go messing with the vehicle's safety systems. In this case it's probably not a big deal, but either way I wouldn't recommend it.

 

Seriously, it's NOT that hard to be safe and wear a seatbelt when in the vehicle. Not only is it illegal not to, it could get you killed if you're in a crash without wearing one.

I really hope your decision to skip wearing the seatbelt isn't based on one of those "my friend would have died in the wreck if he were wearing a seatbelt" stories. As a medic, I can promise you that you're 1,000,000 times better off with it on. I consider myself a great driver.. I always wear mine b/c of all the other horrible drivers out there! Just my $0.02

 

Hopefully you don't get in a wreck and break your face on steering wheel, shatter your legs because they crash into lower dashboard or get your scalp removed by the sun visor. (seen all those things happen without belts)

I don't think he ever said that he wanted to disable the chime for when he was driving down the highway, maybe he does, but I will be doing the same thing to mine and not for highway use, I always wear my seatbelt when driving on the highway. Its when I'm down on the hunting club or on the farm checking fences that the chime really gets annoying, at least my 03 does not do it, soon my 08 won't either.

Personally, I have been very tempted to do this just getting in/out around the farm. In fields etc. On the highway I always wear a belt but damn that chime is annoying.

I disabled mine by unplugging it, the sensor for the airbag is different.

 

 

 

 

Taking out my center jump seat in preparation for my full console I found where to unplug the seatbelt chime. Pictures below.

 

Its the rear most plug.

the one with the red is the airbag

Oh come on. You don't want to miss out on the opportunity to decompress a chest every few weeks do you? Chest tubes are so fun. Why discourage behavior that helps feed this fun?

 

Eh, after 9 years it's not really exciting anymore... the less I have to do the better! ha

Same, the less fire calls the better hahaha

 

 

 

 

And youve definately never seen an person ejected from a car if you dont wear your seatbelt

I hope you guys never plan on driving a classic car, they dont have auto-headlights or seat belt chimes....you actually have to REMEMBER to put your seatbelt on and actually have to turn the knob to turn on your headlights...lmfao

 

Just because the chime is unplugged, does not mean people arent wearing their seatbelts on the road.

How about the damn door beeper. I have disabled them before. Does anyone know where the plug for that one is?

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
