Has anyone reset their TPMS system? I have another set of take off wheels on the way for winter tires and would like to know which reset tool to purchase. Will the tools that work on the previous model GM systems work on our 2019 trucks?

Thanks.

I had Discount Tire attempt to do mine since I have aftermarket wheels and different OEM TPMS sensors but they were unable to since there tool did not include the 2019 Silverado and didn't work when set to 17 or 18 model year either.  I figured I'd wait a few months and try again.  Yo be honest, after a few days, I barely even notice the TPMS light now other than the pop up message that comes up when you start the car

Winter tires arrived (Michelin Ice-X) mounted them on a set of Chevy 2019 Silverado 18 inch wheels with oem TPMS sensors...after about 5 miles, TPMS  warning came up on dash in tach.

 I will order one of these and report back.

There are a bunch on Amazon, I went with this one just because it was cheaper:

That is the one I use, purchased it off ebay 7 years ago and still going strong. 

They run about $7 on ebay. 

 It does work with 2019  TPMS (315 & 433MHz) as  I swapped mine over to my new wheels today.

 

My TPMS sensors were GM part# 13522955   433MHz

 

FYI  - Look at your options code list:

 XL7 indicates 315 MHz TPMS sensors

XL8 indicates 433 MHz TPMS sensors          **** If you do not have either of these codes it is 433MHz.

Was $11.27 delivered. I got the Blue one. Arrived in 3 days.

Used the procedure in the manual for TPMS reset and was done in less than 2 minutes.

 

Thanks for the help. :)

Will my 2009 Silverado relearn the tpms sensors from a new take off wheels and tires from a 2019 or 2020 Silverado?

The TPMS's will have to be relearned by the vehicle.  The tool is like $10 on Amazon and works great.

Search TPMS Reset tool EL-50448. They're available via Amazon, Ebay, etc. and are inexpensive. I have one and it works with my older GM vehicles (2013, 2017) and my 2019 Silverado.

Is a tool necessary?  Several years ago my tires got rotated, but the shop failed to fix it in the computer.  I read the owner's manual and it said to inflate go through a procedure in the dash first, the adjust the air pressure in the tires on a specific order.  It worked.  Iirc, I let some air out until the horn honked.  After the procedure was done I roller my tires to the correct psi.  I didn't have a tpms test, and assumed they were expensive.  I did have a 25 gallon air compressor and put that to good use.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
