i went to the store and got a 30 pk. set it on the seat and the damn chime kept bugging me. so on my drive i started drinking. wouldnt go off til i had 7 beers left.

 

 

 

just a joke dont drink and drive

but it is a safety feature. it shouldnt be disabled. studies show seatbelts save lives even if you are doing 2 mph

I want to be where you are at: "no other vehicles for thousands of acres". Sounds like a slice of heaven to me. I can get about 300+ acres or so away from nearest lane.

LMAO! :cheers:

 

Seriously though guys, always wear your seatbelts. I would never think of going anywhere without my seatbelt on.

I was first on scene to a head on collision at highway speed... Did you know the human head can get to the size of a small beach ball? 3 people out of the 6 died that day. I saw how the people with and without seatbelts made out... I'll take a several broken bones, including a femur, over dead in a ditch any day.

 

Not to lecture, Im sure you know when to wear it... But for anyone that gets careless, please dont. All I had was first aid, and I sure as hell wasnt comfortable dealing with that scene. Its strange how things came back to me 3 years after taking the course though.

 

 

 

On a lighter note.... I hate that chime too when I'm coasting around on some occasions and there's really no need to wear it. This is a handy thing to know.. Thanks.

My 2010 has no chime for the seatbelt, just the indicator on the gauge cluster. Wonder if the plug was missed @ assembly?

Does this only disable the chime?

 

It disconnects the wire for the sensor. So after you unhook the connector under the driver's seat, there is no more annoying chime or red "put on your seat belt" indicator light on the instrument cluster. The passenger seat chime/light will still occur, though, unless you unhook that one, too.

 

Be nice and reconnect it before you sell the truck, though. :P

Holy cow, I never came back to this thread, did I ever once say I don't wear a seatbelt while driving? That's pretty funny. Although I did get a ticket the one frickin time I didnt' wear a seatbelt, because my appendix was about to rupture and I was on the way to the hospital and it hurt and could kill me if I wrecked. Cop gave me a ticket anyway saying "yeh it doesn't hurt as bad as going through the windshield will". You guys kinda remind me of that jerk :P Yes it did rupture anyway due to incompetent doctors and I had two surgeries and was out of work 4 months last year. I think I can decide if I need my seatbelt or not, thank you. Don't need you or big brother (or a GM nanny) policing me.

 

The airbags still work fine, you just don't have an annoying chime when you doing stuff in the yard and off road. If you only drive out of your driveway and to work, fine, leave it alone (and get a car), quit preaching you big babies :rollin: If you can't remember to buckle up, great, leave it alone.

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

 

 

Oh no, don't drive down the interstate with your door open, especially when holding a baby, that's bad and you're a terrible person like Michael Jackson :P (assumptions?)

The seat belt chime is annoying but I only hear it when my one friend who doesn't wear seatbelts is in my truck.

 

I was in a accident once where if I was wearing a seatbelt (me=passenger) the roof crushing in from when we flipped would have probably killed me (I was tossed into the drivers side).

I was drunk and thats why I wasn't wearing one I guess.

 

I always try to wear a seatbelt still, because more people die without seatbelts than with them. Tickets are expensive and I almost feel naked without one on when I'm driving anyways!

 

 

TO TOPIC STARTER:

--If you want to disable it for the cheap just plug your seatbelt in before you get in the seat, or go to a wrecker and slice off a buckle keep it in your door panel when not using and plug it in when your not wearing one (or the passenger) :P

As previously said, it's not that we don't wear our seat belts, it's just annoying while driving around the farm, or hunting where you can be in and out of a vehicle in a short amount of tiime.

Some of us have situations where we are not on the normal road and have several times of getting in and out of the vehicle and moving short distances at low speeds... like pastures, feed lots, farm fields, fence lines, etc. Last thing we want to here is that blasted nanny yelling at us to fasten our seat belt. Yet another thing the folks at GM headquarters did not take into account. That some actually use the vehicle for work off road. I know, it seems so unorthodox to actually take a 4 wheel drive pickup off the road. But it does happen now an then. Now for the '06 Jeep Liberty the wife had, the manual showed a simple sequence one could do to disable the audio warning. Dash light still showed, but who cared. At least the nanny wasn't hollering. Now it would cool if the same feature was available in the Silverado. But I haven't found it. But then, GM always knows best. We are a bunch of rubes that can't even wipe our backsides without guidance.

When I am checking fences I just leave the belt plugged in and sit on it.

Eating the windshield or being thrown from the truck will get you a lot more than an abdominal injury. :lol:

 

As for the issue of it beeping when doing off-road work, buy a buckle from a junkyard.

 

Every vehicle made today will ding at you if you don't buckle up so you really have no ground to stand on anyhow.

It is annoying when you're in and out of the truck opening gates or on your own private land with no other vehicles within thousands of acres, I buckle mine and then get in with it at my back. I wear it all the time when on the street though, not really into face checking the steering wheel or windshield if involved in an accident.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
