I don't know if it can be disabled completely but there is a PI to reduce the volume. The Techs can go into the program with their laptop and lower the setting. They did it to my 2015 about a year ago and it helped a lot (but I may go back and ask them to lower it some more).

Don't get me wrong I'm not doubting you sk. But what a bunch of bullshit, need a tech with a lap top to turn the volume down?!? LOL. It's a stink'n chime for khrist sake. A tech or vehicle owner should be able to just unplug the stupid thing.

 

Think I might keep my eyes peeled for a pre computer truck and do a restore on it. Screw all this silliness.

No offense taken. I'm not disagreeing with you - I think it's stupid too. There is a setting in the DIC for chime volume but even with it turned the whole way down it doesn't mute the seatbelt chime. I argued about this with GM which is how I know there is no way to disable it completely!

Hell I don't care about the seat belt chime. John law got my mind right on the seat belt thing and I've learned to protect myself against myself. But sometimes if the truck is in the garage I'd like to leave the drivers door open and listen to the radio. Back in the day you could just jam the little black button on the door jam and interior lights and any chimes/bells/whatever were off. Ahhhh... the good old days LOL.

No kidding.

 

Best bet might be to get something like these (if you search ebay and Amazon there are tons of other ones too):

You do know that you don't have to have the key in the switch or the truck to be on at all to play the radio. Just push the power button on the radio it will play till you turn it off. Doors opened or closed. I do t all the time when cleaning my truck. Even works with Bluetooth to play songs from your phone.

 

As far as just unplugging the chime. It's played through the radio speakers now so if you unplug that you get no radio out of that speaker.

Your welcome. No need to say that though as I'm sure there are some tricks still that I'm not aware of. I bet you are not the only one that didn't know what I posted either.

You can easily remove the door chime in the dash under the screen there is a chime box.. Unplug it and you will have no chime ??

Had my truck at the dealer today, they confirmed they could not adjust the chime volume on my UQ3 2016. They did however, re-calibrate my radio.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
