Is it a good idea to plug back in speaker when bringing to dealer or is it not something I should be worried about?

I think the only risk you run is if you hit someone with the vehicle and they pull the settings on the truck. If they see the warning system disabled, it likely would not go so well for your case should they sue for damages.

I bought a resister built just for the PB speaker, it worked perfect. No warnings on the dash - easy plug in and had a plug for the speaker too to keep the connection clean for if I ever needed to plug it in again. Google megaohmmotorsports ...

I grabbed one of these too but still need to install it. I originally had the forscan changes and module disconnected but when my truck was in the shop they tried to blame the disconnected module on communication issues I was having :) so I plugged it back in. Figured this way there is one less thing they can try to blame on me going forward.

Even if you have the warning system intact and enabled, if you hit someone there is going to be consequences.

I’m actually OK with the reverse chime. I can’t stand that George Jetson engine noise bullcrap.

The noises irritate the living hell out of me, I work overnight security at a housing development the residents that have moved in thanked me for bypassing it instead of having to listen to the noises all night long

Well, I understand. I installed the MegaOhm kit on mine shortly after buying

I did as well but I live in Hawaii and everything shipped via ground advantage takes 4-6 weeks to arrive minimum so I had to suffer during that time. Wasn't too bad considering truck was in the shop at 300 miles for a bad turbo due to air deflector restriction for 2.5 weeks

I just did the MegaOhm backup delete (PowerBoost) today.
Highly recommend. Hands are a little big to get in the spot needed to release the clip, but works perfect when complete.
+1 MegaOhm backup delete for PBs...
