F250 Back-up Alarm: SHUTTING IT UP??

LOL....sure it can be disconnected. Trace down where the noise is emanating from. There should be one/two wires attached to the beeper. Pull one/both. If you think you may sometimes actually need it, you can wire in a switch, from your drivers position, then you can turn it off/on. Whether/not it is a Calif safety requirement, I don't know. You might stop by an inspection station and ask about that.

disconnected?

Some dealers (Galpin) think they are doing such a service by putting this crap on EVERY truck they sell. The last one I bought from them I demanded that ripped out before I took delivery on it (stupid decal on the window too). In California it is NOT a law that it has to be there. Remove it, kill it, smash it, cuts it's wires....dispose of it.....

disconnected?

It is not the law, worse you likely paid extra for it...

I have one on my F350, It is a reverse light/beeper. My truck is big and tall and my wife and kids are small so I want them to know the beast is about to move where I can't see well.

Mine is in the taillight, it's a reverse bulb. I can't see NOT having it.

Is yours a diesel? If so, the beep is the LEAST of your noise worries.

Yes, I have. And they are still a bit noisier than my Triton V10, IMO. I will say they are much quieter, but not THAT quiet. While I can't say I've done a side by side sound comparison, next door at the dealership, I have test driven more than one in anticipation of trading mine in. So far, they still stink (smell). But now that you bring it up, I'll give the sound comparison a whirl, perhaps I'm wrong.

The trouble with many diesel owners is they feel compelled to let their trucks sit and idle. And down here in cattle country, that's darn near everyone.

Michelle, He is referring to a different alarm. You have a proximity alarm. His alarm sounds off when ever it is in reverse as a warning to others.
