Hashed out repeatedly with no apparent way out. But what I have figured out is a simple behavior mod on my own part. Mine was really only a problem when I would get in, start the truck, then buckle my seat belt. Reverse process, get in (can put key in ignition but don't start the truck) buckle seat belt then turn key = no chimes at all. Passenger seat belt chime seems to be on a delay, so even if I get ahead of passenger, 9 times out of 10, there's enough of a delay that it still doesn't go off. Yes it will still chime if key is left in ignition and door is opened, just need to remember to remove key. No, not totally disabled, just defeated - and liveable now.

After you turn the truck off you can pull the key out 1/4 inch or so push it back in and it won't chime when you open the door. Or you can open the door with the key in and its chiming do the same pull the key out alittle and push it back in and no chime at least I can do this with mine.

Update:

 

Chime is still "loud", but decidedly less loud than it was.

 

Also, truck drove well before TC update - seems same, maybe a little better...but again, I wasn't bitching when I took it in, so no change is fine with me.

I want to ask about the "chime volume" update... Is this something that the dealer has to set (volume level) or does it add something to the DIC where the driver can go in and select a level?

If loud chimes are a problem there are two things you can do to address.

The chime volume is linked to the voice control volume, so with the truck on, press the voice button on the steering wheel then lower the volume on the radio. It will say 'voice volume' and will let you only drop the voulme a little below half way.

Next, use the audio/menu/tone setting to move the balance back a couple of clicks.

The dash twiddlers are obnoxiously loud and some signal needs to be taken away from them via the balance

Having adjusted multiple volume levels (including ones Crew suggests), the dealer fix was only thing that adjusted seatbelt/key chime. Only down side was they somehow screwed up my preset station order.

Is there any OBD Port diagnostic tool that can drastically lower the alarm ? I don't mind gentle reminders but that thing screaming at me annoys me enough I will buy another brand next time. Ford, Toyota and RAM can be totally turned off with an on off key stroke and multiple buckle unbuckle seat belt.

Tried all the other menu lowering, I also plow low speed parking lots and need to be unbelted to twist and turn for visibility.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
