a completely unnecessary chance !

The seat belt is a mechanical device that responds to the forward force that is directly applied at given speed; just like the passenger side seat belt or rear belts on the crew cabs, the sound is gone the truck runs great.

no sorry thats NOT how they work anymore...impact sensors, pretensioners
all are part of the airbag deployment system.

Yes that is still how they work. However I will give you that the pretensioner works in conjunction with the seatbelt to take up SLACK when a crash or sudden deceleration is detected. This is intended to put you in the correct position for air bag deployment. This also has a counter-measure to ensure the belt does not over tighten but that’s another story. Without the pretensioner and the air bag the seat belt still works.

I cheated and hooked mine behind the seat. lol I couldn't get that procedure sp to work for me. I tried quite a few times before I gave up.

If you have access to a mill you could just make a copy of the metal piece of the seat belt latch and stick it in there when you want the chime off. Make it a little longer than normal so you can get it back out, though.
