My truck has no manual entry tailgate, not the 3 part tailgate either.  Is there a way to shut off the inside chime and the external buzzer when opening????

 

on hunting trips it's impossible to access gear in the back without alerting everything within a 1/4 mile radius

 

in vehicle settings it only allows the chimed setting to go down to 50%

This annoys the absolute $hit out of me too.  Hopefully there is a fix to turn it off.

So you have the power up/power down tailgate?

Yes, power up and power down, with an annoying chime each time

 

 

As far as the door chime inside the truck when you open it, you won't be able to do anything there.

 

As for the beeping at the gate itself, whatever component is creating the audible beep, perhaps it can be disabled by cutting a wire or something?  

 

There is no specific speaker there that I can tell, so its either the motor or the tailgate module that is emanating the beep with some sort of internal speaker.  Looking at the schematics though, there isn't a "speaker" wire or tone wire, so my only guess is its triggered by the logic in the module or motor and the tone is coming from inside one of those components.

Is there an external noise?  I thought when I opened the tailgate the only sound was from the inside chime. Maybe I need to pay more attention.

Is there anyone that can hook up to this truck and turn the chime down via reprogram????

 

mine makes some kind of buzz sometimes from the tailgate I think.  Makes so many damn noises it makes it almost impossible to drive on a hunting trip.

 

ill see if I can video the noise

There's a beep when the gate is in motion.  Comes from one of the components in the tailgate itself but nothing indicates in the schematics or the description and operation as to where that beep emits.

I'm seriously considering accessing the tailgate and start unplugging things.  I'm out hunting right now, and this morning and dropped the tailgate on the road before the property so I didn't scare anything and my backpack fell out on a bump while driving in.  Had to walk 1/2 mile looking for it.

 

i can't believe there isn't a software update we couldn't press GM to do!  What the heck is the point of both noise makers??????  In the cab and on the gate?  At least write code to turn the chime down when opening, and then cut that stupid buzzer when accessing the tailgate

The chimes are part of FMVSS standards from the best of my research aka they are required to have them per Uncle Sam.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
