Hey everyone,

 

Hoping you all can help me get to the bottom of this. In past youtube reviews etc I heard people talking about how the Silverado's also came with 4 EXTRA additional TPMS sensors for a trailer etc. My truck did not come with said sensors.

According to my build sheet I do have the RPO code "PTT" which is supposed to be for Trailer Tire Pressure Monitors. My dealer says they aren't familiar with that and are unsure of extra sensors. 

 

So, did any of you get extra sensors? I'm in Oregon for what it's worth, maybe it depends on what geographical area you are in? who knows...

It’s amazing that not a single person at the dealership has any idea about the features of one of the largest volume models chevy sells. Just proves that the consumer has to educate themselves cause t

Yeah I think it's pretty cool that they include FOUR (4) sensors for "free" with the truck, so if you have a single axle trailer you'll still have a pair for another trailer.

Mine were with the wheel lock key and the original lugs the locks replaced.  Make sure you also get the lugs/locks you paid for, and the floor liners, etc. Bad PDI.  No cookie!

Mine came in a plastic bag in the glove box. I assume you also have “ZL6” in your RPO list as noted in that image? Do you have the trailering app on your infotainment? Does it give you the option for trailer tire pressure setup in the advanced set up menu?

the ZL6 code (as noted by the "1") is only required for certain trim levels, the RST and LT Trail Boss. I attached a screenshot of the order of trim levels for easy reference. I have the High Country so nothing additional is needed outside of PTT, according the the RPO codes I've read that is. I do have the trailering app, I haven't gone through that section in detail though. 

 

I don't even own a trailer so I don't have current use for them. But if they were supposed to come with the truck, I sure as heck want them :) I'll run out to the truck in a bit and go through the advanced setup menu and see what I see.

Sorry, couldn’t see you had a High County from the mobile site...Advanced Trailering/ Trailer TPMS is standard on LTZ and up, so yours must have walked away.

 

I’m not surprised that nobody knows what your talking about. My salesman didn’t know what they were for. But thankfully they were included.

Oh no problem, yeah it shows in my Sig below but I know that doesn't show up on the mobile site. 

 

Yeah my sales guy said he's talked to everyone he knows including the sales manager and they've never heard of this. I didn't have the most faith in his knowledge when I bought it so I take his words with a very large grain of salt haha. 

 

Thanks for confirming you did get them, makes me feel like I'm not crazy haha

It shouldn’t be too difficult for one of them to go look in the glovebox of another LTZ or HC sitting on their lot, but I know how that goes.

 

I’ll try to get a photo and / or part numbers of what I have in a little bit so you can go in next time armed with some more information. They aren’t cheap and you definitely should get them. If I had to guess, someone doing the PDI or whatever took them out thinking they were extras? No idea.

Thank you! Really appreciate it! Yeah dealer's a lot of times unfortunately try to do as little as possible. According to them, I don't get how NOBODY has a clue about this.

for extra clarification I opened a chat session on Chevrolet . com and they confirmed I should have received them. He was going to forward this to a senior rep to help resolve this with the dealer and said they contact me within two days.

 

I also send a friendly email to my sales guys simply stating that the chevy rep confirmed I should have gotten them and asked if he could confirm that other LTZ and/or High Country trim levels currently on the lot have them in the glove box.

It's pretty clear in the Order Guide that a 2019 1500 LTZ or HC should have had them included.

 

They are an optional part with ZL6 on LT, RST and LT Trail Boss  (1LT, 1SP and 2LT) trims. 

 

Sierra they come with SLT, AT4 and Denali trim.

Available on SLE (3SA) and Elevation Double Cab (3SB) trims

Thanks everyone! Truly appreciate all the confirmations. Yeah it’s sad that I have to convince them and show proof to get them to pick up their feet to actually try instead of getting responses like,
“I spent quite a bit of time running around checking on the TPMS sensors for you”

Well you didn’t try that hard, it took me all of 10 minutes to verify with all of you on here as well as a GM representative via their online chat.

I don’t expect them to know every detail about the truck, and people make mistakes, but this is past that and it’s just a little frustrating even though it’s for a small item like this

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
