Has anyone else noticed how loud the door chime on the 2014 Chevy's (and most likely GMCs) are? Mine is very loud, and I've had others mention it too while they're in the truck. It doesn't give you a chance to get your seat belt done befopre yelling at you. I found what looks like a chime volume in the settings but even on the lowest it's still very loud. Any tricks to turning the volumke down much further? Or worst case disabling all together?

Haven't noticed. Go drive a ford and you will thank GM for making their chimes WAY less annoying, in volume and tone.

Responded in your other thread. The dealer does it. I don't have the TSB number handy but you need to ask about it. If your truck is out of warranty they will charge you the labor time to do it.

Mine is loud also. I turned the chime volume down in the settings but to me it sounded the same.

I don't know, I get in my truck, start it, put my seatbelt on and go, I don't have any chimes.. Are you driving without your seatbelt on or something? Mine is not loud by any means, infact I hardly notice it. I know some of the new Fords I've used (borrowed trucks, or for work) have all had horribly annoying chimes when you don't put your seatbelt on.

I played with the chime volume setting again, it doesnlt seem to have any effect on the chime volume at all. I have it slid all the way to the left which appears to be off, but thats still the ear piercing loud setting. I'm now looking for a way to completely shut it off (the seat belt nag). I've found a few sites that tell you how to silence other vehicles through gas pedal presses after turning the truck to start but havent found the trick for the 2014 GMs yet. For me, if I start it remotely and let it warm up it seems like when I get in it immediately starts screaming at me and you cant get the seatbelt on fast enough....I also have a very long dirt driveway and I dont put my belt back on after getting my mail from the maibox....I drive 10 miles per hour down the driveway and it starts blasting me and trying to explode my ear drums. Until I figure out how to silence it I'm keeping hearing protection in my truck from my trip from the mailbox to the house.

Anyone ever solve this issue? I have a '15 2500HD and can agree with the loud chime. It does it with the seatbelt on or off (5-6 chimes), but it literally hurts my ears.

I bought one of those seat belt extenders. Now the truck thinks the seat belt Is plugged in. No chime. Had to grind the side off a bit as it was too big.

I try to put my seat belt on prior to starting the engine. This allows for no chime, but I agree it is way too loud.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
