Am I correct in understanding that you can no longer rotate your tires at home unless you have the "relearn" tool for the tpms? Reading through my manual on my 2015 and it talks about after rotating the steps to "relearn" where each tire is, also states you can buy the tool for cheap?

You can rotate them at home, your dash readings will not reflect the correct location of where the tires are on the truck.

I rotate mine at home. I considered buying the tool. But I guess it doesn't bother me enough

Many vehicles the way to relearn is to drive it for half a mile. Auto reset. GM, once again, behind the curve.

I would have the tired re-learned, but it's not the end of the world if you don't. If your TPMS light comes on, you know that one of your tires has a potential issue. I usually check all 4 tires if this light comes on anyways just to be safe.

Just another step in the General's nefarious plan to make it where the owners have to pay their GM dealer to do everything for them.

Not just the General, but most manufacturers. If vehicles are made more reliable, they have to make up lost revenue somehow. You can't even change a battery on a BMW anymore by yourself, you have to have the dealer do it so that they can plug it into their machine and code the battery to the vehicle.

I bought the re-learn tool. It was like 60 bucks. Well worth the time savings of driving to the dealer or tire store to have them re-learn.

I rotate myself then stop by Discount Tire and let the do a TPMS reset. It takes 5 minutes and is free.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      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)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.
