Certainly is possible. Any way you can tell if they are TPMS just by looking at the valve stem? I know it actually sits inside the rim just looking for best case scenario  
I'm not sure if you can tell without actually removing the tire. Maybe take it to a dealer and have them check it.

The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below:   1. Set the parking brake. 2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the engine off. 3. Press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter's L

You need a tool or dealer visit. The air down procedure no longer works. Hasn't since mid 2011.

If you are rotating yourself buy the tool. Will work on just about any GM with TPMS. I have the GM one and it works well.

dealer can check, they have a tool that will even show the serial number of the tpms, I saw a video where they were using it to prove ownership when recovering stolen wheels.

Ending up getting a hold of the guy that sold me them... He removed them, problem solved. Looks like I'll have to pick some up.

Well, that sucks but it does explain things. On the bright side at least your TPMS re-learn tool is not broken.

Hey everyone, I have a 2015 2500 hd gasser and the EL-50448 TPMS reset tool for $17 bucks on eBay worked like a charm. Took me all of 30 seconds. Sometimes you win, woohoo!! Autelshop is the seller on eBay.

I have been getting the best deals on tires from America's Tire store and they include free lifetime wheel balancing (important with heavy truck tires) and free tire rotation. About 25% of the time the guy remembers to redo the pressure sensors so I have to check when I first get into the truck that are is correct. If not I get the fellow to correct the settings and he uses the electronic device to do this.

 

I have done this myself when I realized the problem only after getting home and although letting the air out is simple enough it drops the tire pressure by more than 5 PSI per tire and so I need to get out the electric compressor and add air to each tire. My truck's tires take 80 PSI and most gas stations' compressors are not up to the task so I have my own Viair 400P compressor. Easiest to have the tire store do the rotation and rebalancing every 5,000 miles.

I'm still having problems with a relearn tool for the TSPM on a 2014 Silverado I don't want to go to a dealer the tool they recommend is close to a $1000.00 I do almost all the work on my truck and I know someone out there has mastered the way of relearning the location of the tires at a lower cost please can you help me out or maybe GM want's to rethink what they are doing so us monkey wrench guys can work on our own trucks because they are a part of our family ?

Did you buy the TPMS tool? If so you begin with driver tire, second passenger front then passenger rear and last driver rear

Did you actually buy a re-learn tool listed above?

 

Most of the posts in this thread are written by people who’ve bought a tool from Amazon or EBay who’ve had success.

 

There’s also a video showing the procedure on relearning the sensor positions in case you’re having a problem with the tool.

 

Kinda seems like you didn’t bother reading the old posts and would just like everything spoon fed to you.

Go to a dealer and politely ask them if they can relearn the TPMSS after you had the tires rotated.  I did, and they did it for free, Took all of 30 seconds.  

 

On a side note, I bought a cheap tpms tool on amazon and have yet to use it.  I need to rotate my tires here soon, so it might happen today.  Lol.

Shell out the $13 here:

You need to put your DIC into relearn mode.  The Owners Manual tells you how to do this.  I use this tool very often on 3 different GM vehicles without any problems.  The whole process to relearn all 4 tires takes about 30 seconds ...

Without the tool, this Relearn seems a bit of a pain      :loser:.... considering that the TPMS valves themselves are pricy.

One would think at this price they could learn the damn pressure in the tire themselves after a few miles.

most all shops will have the relearn tool no need to go to the dealer.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
