It looks like you have it set for lights only. Is it still honking, Jimmy?

I wish it was 83 here?

Try pushing the lock and unlock buttons at the same time. Some vehicles that disables the horn honk. Not 100% it works on our trucks but worth a try.

If I push my lock button once, the doors lock and all I hear is the sound of the locks.  If I push the lock button twice, I also get the horn.  Unlocking does not sound the horn.

If for some reason it doesn't lock the first time you push your remote , then you have to push it again. Then the  horn honks ( '05 GMC pickup truck )

    I don't want my horn honking under any conditions when I lock or unlock my vehicle. How can I eliminate this stupid  horn honking ?

Thank you , Tim from Vancouver

Thank you GMC for all this pleasant horn hooking. Who needs quiet ?  Let's thank all the other car companies also. Anybody walk through a car parking  lot lately and seen ( heard ) all the stationary (parked ) cars , with everyone's horns going off ? 

Let's give thanks to the car companies for all this extra noise in our environment. Especially GMC. They're not afraid to follow the crowd when they see a good thing Especially GMC. They're not afraid to follow the crowd when they see a good thing haha

Go in to your infotainment settings. You can set the lock sounds there, as well as a number of other items.

The lights/horn feature in your vehicle settings only affect the first press of the lock/unlock buttons.  It should lock/unlock on the first press of that particular button.  Second press of the lock button, it should honk, UNLESS you wait for more than a second or two before pressing the button a second time.  If you have folding mirrors, you can tell the truck to fold them when you lock the truck, and likewise when you unlock the mirrors will unfold.  Just hold the lock or unlock button for 1 second, if you hold the unlock button for 2 or more seconds, the windows may roll down.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      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?
