TPMS problem?

I have a 2011 Silverado 1500 extended cab that I'm wanting to put Load Range E tires on. My tire data plate reads 35psi. These new tires have a max of 80psi, although I'll probably run them at 65 or so. Will this higher pressure set off my TPMS? If so, is it possible to reprogram it? My tire guy thinks it won't be a problem, but I'm looking for a second opinion before I shell out the money for the tires. Any opinions? Thanks in advance.

I run 10 plys, and I tried several pressures between 30 and 70 psi. I think 44 psi is the way to go. The dealer should be able to answer the TPMS questions. 

 I agree 100% . On a half ton truck I wouldn't go over 50 unless you have an over weight load, and then I would would put them back at 44 for maximum tread life. If you dont see off road much, I would go with the Michelin atx. They are not cheap, but last, ride very well, and help with fuel economy.

I'm mostly concerned about the annoying yellow light being on. I'm not the only one to ever do this, I'm sure. Does the TPMS go out on high pressure, or just low pressure?

Hmm. Now that ain't a bad idea. I could probably just do one tire. I wouldn't want to drive it far, but I probably wouldn't have to. Good idea.

Just checking in with tire results. The TPMS lit up as soon as the tire guy started the truck with the new tires at 45psi. He drove it a couple of miles and it didn't go away. Hooked his Tech thing up to it and says he reprogrammed the TPMS. I've been driving it all week with no issues. So the system can be reprogrammed. This thing rides like a truck now, and I feel much better about pulling the camper with it.

Most tuners/programmers can do this function as well.  My Hypertech Max Energy 2.0 power programmer lets you set what tire size you are running and set whatever TPMS threshold you want, or you can turn off the TPMS warning entirely if you want.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
