I'm of the opinion that the throttle body on my 2010 Silverado needs cleaned, but I'm rather shaky concerning removing it from the motor (5.3) and a possibility a problem in reinstalling it, such as programming problems. Can you clean the TB and not disconnect it from the wiring plug? Would that eliminate a possible problem with programming?

After I posted this question, basically this afternoon, out of curiosity I stopped at the tire shop that I have dealt with for more than 40 years (so I trust them) and they checked the tires out and told me that there are actually NO sensors in the wheels. So sensors are definately needed. Great info I thank you guys so much. Next question.....the sensors that you see, Ebay, Amazon, etc. are they good to use? Is there a certain brand, type, etc.

Just bought a set of 2023 GMC take-off wheels and tires for my 2010 Chevy Silverado. The person I bought them from told me the TPMS sensors are a different frequency than my truck and may not read correctly, or at all. He was right, get the message upon start up and yellow light all the time, and no readings. I've read on Youtube how to change the sensors, doesn't seem like a big thing, but learning to the truck's computer seems like a task. Anyone ever do this?
