Recently, the Gladiator starting chiming a single, "Ding," upon startup. I'll get in, fasten the belt, hit the START button,, and, "Ding!" No other alerts or alarms. It didn't used to do this.
I had it in to the dealer today, and they're telling me it's supposed to do that: like an audible notification that the system is functioning normally. When I asked why it didn't used to do it, the service writer suggested that it had initially been malfunctioning, and now it's working correctly.
Anyone else think the, "Ding," is normal?

No, I don’t think it’s normal. I swear I read another thread on this same thing recently.

Yeah, I did see that thread. I mentioned a stored fault to the Service Writer, and I think the comment went in one ear and out the other. I may end up trying another dealer.

Thanks for the input, though!

New updates to that thread tonight, coincidentally. Do you have your Auto start/stop disabled?

Seems to me there's yet another thread on ding.
Mine doesn't ding........... it's quiet. I push the button, it starts and that's all I hear.

That's what's infuriating...
Mine used to be as quiet as a mouse.

Just curious, do you have anything always plugged into the 12V accessory power?

My Garmin chirps every time I start the JT.

No accessories.
The ding is definitely from the truck.
