Correct. TPMS only applies to vehicles with 10,000 GVWR or less. 2500hd trucks have TPMS but because the 3500hd trucks all have over 10,000lbs GVWR it is not mandated by the law.

True.

 

We bought a Tireminder TM66 tpms to add this feature to our '15 3500. The nice thing about this aftermarket system is that it covers both our dually and our travel trailer...factory systems can't do that!

The rest of us bought 3500's just to avoid TPMS and you went out of your way to ADD it...

I did and it was a good decision for my situation. Can't speak for anyone else, but thanks for letting me know. :)

The book with these trucks must cover many models. I read where TPMS is there but apparently 3500 don't have TPMS, is this true?

 

3500HD trucks ARE available with TPMS - but only on models with a 10,000 GVWR or less- specifically single rear wheel models.

 

All DRW trucks have a GVWR exceeding 10,000lbs (and hence no TPMS available), and SWR trucks are available with a 10,800 GVWR option (same truck, different sticker) that also eliminates the TPMS option.

I have saved a few tires thanks to tpms. It'll show low pressure way before the tire looks flat.

I have a 2016 Denali 3500HD dually, going to be a full time camper. Wanting to know if the computer has software for TPMS that can be turned on if I added tire sensors.

    • Certainly as the new model year comes along and that may mean a new refreshed model such as for example the upcoming 2027 half tons and lets just say for arguments sake that current year trucks are in decent supply on the new lot and its not guaranteed but some years and depending on the current economic state that buyers may turn their nose up at the so called old stock/old model and want the "new new" shiny object. When those stars align and in this case GM corporate puts out a great discount on what is becoming the old stock as well as dealers willing to deal to get that inventory off the lot, that's when it would be easier to deal as long as, as it was pointed out that your willing to take what is there for choice of inventory in an area that makes sense to you shopping wise. What you don't get deals on or typically so is the incoming new toy in the showroom, that is where if they don't have much inventory of the new model year and customers that are willing to pay to beat the Joneses and will pay top dollar for it just because. Also sometimes there is that vehicle that few are interested in for whatever reason in how its equipped that becomes two years old and they really want to get rid of that vehicle. New in all cases and warranty the same typically although plan on changing that battery out on the older used one, lot rot of batteries with todays vehicles that draw power constantly.    I too was just too leery about buying a newer used truck as I know how all too many seem to treat their vehicle maintenance wise and up here in Canada there wasn't the used market to choose from like one would assume because of all the bull crap going on with under a year old trucks and under certain mileage being bought up by USA brokers and being hauled/driven south to be sold in the sates so the used price was too demanding here. Also a certain insurance coverage I wanted was only available on a new truck at time of purchase and not even a so called new demo on a lot could have that no depreciation loss coverage. I made the best deal I could on a truck I personally chose for options on an order so they knew it was most likely sold before it ever hit their lot so no lot interest charges for the dealer to swallow. I also wanted a new vehicle so that I could plaster the crap out of it underneath with fluid film and see if that will help slow down the rust issues we have here due to the crap they spread on the winter roads. 
    • Sure...but there is no "update" to be had.  GM has not issued any support for this.  
    • You mean it's not supported yet in the trucks. The hardware is certainly there. The software just needs updated.
    • Is the carbon pro bed still a thing? I figured it was one of those things that quietly disappeared from low take rate.   I thought Chevrolet tried adding it too...   Minimal.   Despite all the 'all new' versions since GMT-800, lots of parts still swap from generation to generation.   I've seen a bunch of GMT-800s with a K2 rear bumper on them. 
    • We still haven't seen the GMC's. I expect the Chevys to more orr less match the Fords, but with no all aluminum body and simple SBC, be significantly more affordable. I'm hoping GMC offers the 6.7 engine and lays it all out on the line. My main question? More premium GMC's already use composite leads out back. Does Chevy get any? What other frame/suspension changes?
