I just bought new wheels and tires for my 14 silverado i was wondering what everyone is doing about the tpm sensors? Are you guys buying new ones or swapping out the factory ones? I wanted to keep the factory ones in my original wheels but hate the expense of buying new ones. I found some that are relatively cheap but not sure how they would work. Thanks

A guy locally to me sells a set of new sensors for $60 so I always just buy new ones and any NTB or Discount Tire will reprogram them for free..way easier than trying to break down and remount your stockers

Do you buy aftermarket or OEM sensors? I was looking at some on ebay that are a lot cheaper than OEM but wasn't sure if they would work. I've never had a truck with sensors before, so I am new to them and how they work.

Amp research. I had them installed at the dealer when I bought it. They gave me credit for the stock steps. I like them because they half way hide the DEF tank.

any one running 285/60s on stock 20s?

 

 

to answer this 285/60r20 rub with a 2" level. i trimmed out the fender liner about 4"x4" in the back inside corner and now I'm clear. I got it to rub at full lock coming into a ramped parking lot relativly quick but it was very minor on one side only. G good enough for me!

I was aware that the amp boards tucked further under the cab.

 

 

I have the AMP steps on my Sierra (posted a few posts up) as well.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
