My girlfriend has a Subaru CrossTrek and she was able to click and un-click the seatbelt like 20 times in 30 seconds and it disables the seat belt chime. Maybe GM has something like that. Good Luck

My bro in law took a piece of plastic about the same thickness as the seat belt latch and cut it out the same shape. He leaves it plugged in all the time and never uses his sear belt......... I'm a big believer in seat belts and never travel without one.

Their is not an option to turn off the seat belt chime in a GM truck but I wish there was. My Ford work truck has the option and it comes in handy for me because I am offroad quite a bit in that truck and have to hang my head out of the window for tire placement. In my chevy it would come in handy because of all the gates I go through during hunting season or helping friends/family on their farms where I am constantly in and out of my truck and driving at slow speeds.

If you're asking because it's too loud, the dealer has a fix. (Some say this doesn't work, but it worked great for me.) If there is a unique situation that regularly requires you driving without a seat-belt then the end of a compatible seat-belt or end of an extender sounds like a good idea. I really can't see a situation where I would be riding without a seat-belt long enough to let the chime bother me!

I'm calling my dealer today!

 

The only thing I've been able to find is to pull the key out and stick it back in.

 

Obviously that only works if the engine is off.

Be careful if you disable the chime, it also alerts when fuel low, keys in (obviously) and possibly other incidents.

Long time ago I knew someone that disabled a key chime, which also disabled a low oil warning chime (two stroke boat) wound up blowing the motors because oil ran out with no warning. Not saying this would happen to you, but just a heads up that there's other reasons for the chime, not just seatbelt

Why not leave the belt pluged in? And across the seat, then sit down?

I use a seat belt extender when I am hunting to disable the chime, leave it plugged in and I dont have to worry about the chime going off when I start truck too and scare something off. The dealership will give them to you for free even, I got two so I can plug one in the passenger side too, sometimes the dog sets that one off...

First time our dog set off mine, I didn't realize the lights are on the upper console thingie. I heard dinging and figured it was from dog sitting in the front passenger seat but I couldn't locate a flashing light anywhere on dash. Then I panicked and started thinking something else was wrong. The flashing light finally caught my eye. Seems like an odd place for it.

If you really need it disabled go to a salvage yard and buy just the buckle part and plug it in when you need it.

    • I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.  
    • Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.
    • Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.  
    • Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
