Hi, Just purchased a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500. I have the 8" mylink radio/navagation. I understand that the chime sound comes from the radio speakers. My question is does the radio need to be powered up for the door chime to work. If I open the drivers door and put the key in the ignitian the chime does not sound. If I turn the key to on it will chime. Then when I turn it off and the door is open it will chime. Is there something wrong with my ignitian switch or is this how it works? Thanks for any input on this.

Its how it works. The touchscreen always has some power going to it, even with no key. You can't think of it as "the radio". If you open the door, and put the key in, the chime doesn't sound because it is smart enough to figure you are getting in. If you turn the key on, it chimes, which I figure is part of a "system test" like all the gauges sweeping and whatnot. When you turn the truck off and open the door, it chimes to remind you to take your key like old cars.

1st. post. On my 2015 Silverado, if I open the door and put the key in the ignition but don't turn it on, no chime. If I turn the ignition on without plugging in the seat belt, I get the chime. If I plug in the seat belt and then turn ignition on, no chime. I think it is a reminder to buckle up. Even with the radio turned off mine still chimes. I have the chime volumn turned down as low as it will go and it is still too loud. The rest is like CounterMeasure said.

Is it possible to turn down the volume on the chime ? It's a bit loud for my needs.

There is a setting for the chime volume but even set at the lowest level it is still loud as balls IMO ...

I was able to turn down the alarm volume for park assist, but not the seat belt chime. Government regulations at their best (worst).

There is a PI stating that they know about the chime volume and are investigating.

Good. All they need to do is allow us to turn down the volume more. I don't know if there is a minimum per government. I agree that it can't go to zero but lower would be nice.

How do you adjust the park assist volume? I only have rear assist so maybe thats why I didn't see any adjustment for it.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      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. 😉
