How To Disable Seat Belt Alarm Chime Noise
Guys. . .thank you for your concerns, lol. I'm not indicating that I drive around everywhere I go with no seat belt on. Even if I did, who cares? Myself and my passengers are buckled 99.5% of the time. I'm simply wanting to disable the nanny device. Surely you all know about a time when such...- Fairweatherider

How To Disable Seat Belt Alarm Chime Noise
People have all kinds of reasons why they don't need to buckle up every single time they drive and why they don't need a dinging noise nagging them. A farmer for example, using his truck on a ranch. Ranchers often hop in and out of their trucks dozens of times a day to open gates, check water...- Fairweatherider

How To Disable Seat Belt Alarm Chime Noise
That is a nice little product. I could see it being useful for when I set a heavy item in a back seat or something other than a person. However, I'm looking to stop the annoying alarm that comes every time one of my kids unbuckles temporarily while driving to retrieve something from the back...- Fairweatherider

How To Disable Seat Belt Alarm Chime Noise
How can I disable the chime warning noise that is made when a seatbelt is unbuckled while driving? Under a certain speed, around 12 mph, no beeping noise. Above that speed, it beeps. In the old days, we would follow the buckle down to where it bolts to the floor, cut the wire jacket open, and...- Fairweatherider

Any pedal commander users?
I installed the Pedal Commander today and test drove the Yukon XL 5.3 today. The lag is gone. Good. I couldn't find any settings that feel close to stock without the lag. All of the settings seem to increase the throttle aggression. The Eco mode is strange, as it feels as though the brakes are...- Fairweatherider

Any pedal commander users?
I just ordered a Pedal Commander for the 2025 Yukon 5.3 in an attempt to get rid of throttle lag. They claim that the PC eliminates throttle lag. There is an off-idle lag followed by a small surge when attempting to take off from a stop slowly and it's annoying. I'm not looking for performance...- Fairweatherider

Another 5.3 AFM Dead Lifter Issue - Help Me Decide What to Do
Getting the engine back together finally. I’m not sure if I need a new fuel rail or injectors. I removed them as gently as possible, prying them out little by little with a claw hammer and screwdriver. I had to get rough with one injector that really didn’t want to come out. I can see that it...- Fairweatherider

Another 5.3 AFM Dead Lifter Issue - Help Me Decide What to Do
OK guys, I think I've ordered all of the misc parts, gaskets, etc that I need for this job. The DOD delete kit from Texas Speed was lacking a few things such as water pump gaskets, camshaft retainer plate, etc There is one part that I don't know if I should order: The guy I'm watching on...- Fairweatherider

Good to know. Might as well change it now then. Is there a site/dealer that you like for me to order the new sending unit, assuming that I should get OEM?- Fairweatherider

Another 5.3 AFM Dead Lifter Issue - Help Me Decide What to Do
That is great feedback, thank you. I noticed you mentioned replacing the "oil pressure sender". Is this a sensor that I should replace while doing the repair? Anything else that I should replace while I'm in the motor just because - why not, I'm already in there? I purchased a full DOD delete...- Fairweatherider

Another 5.3 AFM Dead Lifter Issue - Help Me Decide What to Do
Can I move a thread? Or is it only possible for a moderator to move it? What an excellent video. Thanks for sharing. If I go this route, how can I determine whether or not the cam is scored? Of course, if the cam is damaged, then I would go with a full DOD delete. If the cam isn't damaged...- Fairweatherider

Another 5.3 AFM Dead Lifter Issue - Help Me Decide What to Do
Thanks to all here. SO much great experience and advice. FWIW, I posted this on the Silverado/Sierra forums as well just to hopefully get more advice, thinking that a 5.3 AFM engine is a 5.3 AFM engine, regardless of what it is installed in. I have to say, the members on this forum have had much...- Fairweatherider

Another 5.3 AFM Dead Lifter Issue - Help Me Decide What to Do
Yes, DIY. I really don't have the time for it but am willing to do this myself just to save the money. I spent a great deal on the truck and don't want to spend more getting it running. Thanks for the replies everyone. I will get it back from the shop tomorrow or the next day and order gaskets...- Fairweatherider

Another 5.3 AFM Dead Lifter Issue - Help Me Decide What to Do
I'm reading thread after thread on here about people who've had a collapsed lifter then did a full DOD delete from Texas Speed. A major question I have and haven't seen an answer to is: did these engines hold up? Or was there metal shavings floating around which later caused a full melt down?- Fairweatherider
