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

Another 5.3 AFM Dead Lifter Issue - Help Me Decide What to Do
I posted this in a Silverado/Sierra forum today but since I'm already a member here, I figure I'll post it here too since the 5.3 motor is used on trucks and SUVs alike and some of you may have some good insight.

I want to change the oil on my 2025 Yukon with air ride suspension. Can I raise the vehicle to the max height, put in park, then lay under it to change the oil?

C Pillar Blackout
Buying a red 2025 Yukon XL AT4. I would like to have the C pillars match the rest of the black window trim/pillars. I'm thinking of having it painted at a body shop. But, I don't know anything about wraps. Is there anything besides paint and wraps that will accomplish this? See photos below...- Fairweatherider

5.3 - Has GM Resolved the Lifter Failure Issue?
I searched but couldn't find anything on the issue. Specifically for the 5.3 engines, has GM resolved the dreaded collapsed lifter issue? I see a reference here to a bad batch of lifters being used in 2020 and 2021 but that is all. Am I in the clear? Or are people still having problems with the...- Fairweatherider
