Diagnostic Chimes
1999 F-350 Super Duty...
After starting vehicle, I get the standard chimes etc... After it's been running for 1 minute or so, I get 5 chimes (1 per second), then stops for about 5 seconds, then chimes again...
There are no lights on the dashm No check engine light. I know it's got to be a diagnostic problem, but no mention in manual about it...
Can someone tell me it means???

Welcome to FTE, lamouchr. 
If it's 5 chimes, pause, then 5 more chimes... it's related to the air bag system, and there is indeed info in the manual about it.
Here's some info I've posted in the past from the manual:
Hope that helps!

"Determining if the system is operational
The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the condition of the system. Refer to Air bag readiness section
in the Instrument cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the air bag is
not required.
A difficultywith the system is indicated byone or more of the following:
• The readiness light will either
flash or staylit.
• The readiness light will not
illuminate immediatelyafter
ignition is turned on.
• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodicallyuntil the problem and/or light are repaired.
If anyof these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced
at your dealership or by a qualified technician immediately. Unless
serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a
collision."
