My 14 did the static through the speakers.  Eventually the head unit went under warranty.  The 2017 does it only once in a blue moon.  It is a lease so I will be giving it back.

Good morning...as I started my truck this morning all seemed to be fine...and then I started getting an alert tone of some kind...it almost sounded like the seat belt tone (but nothing flashing on the dash info center).  So I unclicked and clicked my seat belt...still the tone would beep every couple seconds...I thought this was going to be a long drive to work...but by the time I got out of my neighborhood, it stopped beeping...

 

This isn't the first time this has happened...but didn't think much of it last time...did a search on the forum, and I couldn't really find much...any help is appreciated.

I have a 2019 ZR2 which is plagued with the same issue of the ding/tone what ever I was able to narrow it down to when the built in phone charger is working it will ding and subsequently tone ding when turning off…

I have a 2018 sierra and we got in the truck and started to drive. It did it a few times. I decided to Google it.Im in the passenger seat and decided to make sure my seat belt is buckled good. I reached down and it was but I noticed I had it buckled in the middle buckle instead of the one for the passenger by the door 🙄. I am thinking there must be a sensor of some kind in that buckle to let you know it's not hooked when a passenger or weight is in the seat. 🤔.  It hasn't done it since

See if you can't find the middle seat seatbelt and just leave that buckled all the time. Then you will always get the passenger seatbelt buckled in the correct latch. that's what I do.

 

And there is a sensor in the passenger seat that senses how much weight is there. If under a certain weight (maybe 40lbs???) no ding. But over that weight, you will get the warning dings. Also IIRC, when under that certain weight, the passenger side airbag is disabled too. I think the notification is in the roof console.

As far as airbag, earlier models had a switch on dash that you would use the ignition key to disable the airbag in cases where you might have to drive with a child in front seat. It was a nice safety feature.

 

But if I had to take a guess, there was probably incidences where airbag didn't get turned back on and passengers got more hurt because airbag had previously been disabled and driver forgot to turn it back on. Or someone unfamiliar borrowed truck not knowing the airbag had been turned off and had an accident. I don't know this for a fact but wouldn't be surprised if it did...

      Some Assembly is Required

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
