Adding TPMS to 3500HD

idahopool · November 6, 2013

I just picked up my new 2014 HD Denali and found out that the 3500's do not have the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). I'm on of the group that likes to have that information. So far I have not been able to get any info from GMC that would tell me what I have to do to add this feature. It seems only logical that it could be added even if it meant changing the speedometer unit and adding the tire sensors. All it is is a sending and receiving system. Has anyone had any luck with getting this done?

Is your truck a dually? If so, I don't think there's any way for it to track all 6 wheels.

If this is a single rear wheel...does it have remote start and keyless entry? If so, the correct RCDLR (Remote Control Door Lock Reciever) is already in the truck, and its the same one that is in other trucks WITH TPMS. I would like to think that...if you bought 4 sensors, and maybe a reprogram to the RCDLR and maybe the BCM and you might be able to make it work.

It's a single rear wheel truck with all the remote controls on the key fob. I agree that it should be as simple as adding the pressure sensors to the wheels and programing the RCDLR to receive the signal. So far GMC is refusing to say anything other than there is not a "kit" to accomplish this. My feeling is that there may be some legal concern on their part. I'm hoping that someone else has had this issue and found a workable solution to getting it done. Thanks for your input.
