Oh man, you guys are getting hosed on prices. Thats sad

I paid around $5 qt for the GM ULV fluid from Rockauto. I got the filter for less than $35 (obviously US$) as far as the pan gasket its reusable and should be good for several pan drops. I have all the stuff for my 2024 gasser but I sold it with less than 12,000 miles so I never had to do it. It does however look like the trans crossover bolts could be backed out and the trans jacked up enough to clear the exhaust. My plan was to install a drain plug or buy a Dorman pan with the plug in it (about $150 on Rockauto) As far as refilling I bought a m18 nipple that screws into the fill plug on the side of the case. It would allow me to run a hose to the normal dipstick area and fill the trans that way. If you use a clean pan you can measure the amount of fluid that drains out and replace that amount.

Typical battery life of 5-7 yrs on most. I ordered a set with my new truck even though I had a set already on my trailer. The price was only $55. I ended up selling them to the guy that bought my 2024. He bought my truck to pull his new trailer so it worked out well for him. I think its just that that sensor doesnt like to wake up and that its just a coincidence that its the first one in the sequence. I went to the LR, RR and RF and they all came online with my tool. If you do some research its likely you could find a generic set instead of needing the GM ones. I did that on our Cruze a few years ago. I found a set on Amazon made by Schrader who makes them for OEM's. Same sensors for 1/3 the price.

Yes, I checked it a number of times including the next morning and it was still low until I added another qt. I guess I will know for sure in the spring when I change it again.

the system will relearn sensors by choosing the alternate method of letting some air out of the tires. For some reason the left front sensor on mine will not wake up with my tool. All of the others will but it requires I let air out of each since that first one wont wake up.

The dealer has resources through GM. Dont let them tell you otherwise. What they typically dont have is anyone at the dealer level that is knowledgeable because that costs money since smart people dont work for free and avoid poorly managed business with mountains of feckless middle managers.

I would guess that something in the lamp has failed after the years you have had them. Sounds like its time to replace them. Plenty of good options out there. I just installed a pair of Lasfit 7444 red lamps on the tail lights/brake lights of my 25 Silverado 3500 and they work very well.
