These would be handy for my travel trailer, if anyone isn't going to use their sensors, I will gladly buy them off of you.

 

Just sure yours has the trailering program in the infotainment ....  otherwise no bueno

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!

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.

Around here, the PDI doesn't involve any quality inspections or topping off of DEF fluid or fuel or anything like it's supposed to.  All it consists of is the dealer having their newest shop employee remove any loose items from the bed, trunk, rear seat, glovebox, console, etc. (manuals, running boards, wheel covers, splash guards, wheel well inserts, front license plate holders, floor mats, bed mats, electronic cables, extra TPMS's, etc.) and throw them in their back room.  IF you know what you are missing and bug them long enough, you just might get some of your stuff back.  Otherwise, when the room gets full, they throw it away or sell it.  Or the shop employees use it as a pick-a-part room for themselves.

Hello. Purchased a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT CrewCab. $5500 from GM, GM educator discount, Costco discount. Also, had my own financing. The dealership really wanted me to go w/ GM financing. I was able to get truck w/ better wheels as one listed online(I brought in paperwork on it), was in storage & not ready to go. So, $39K out the door. Note: I had been looking at trucks from Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Fernando Valley, to Las Vegas. I did my research, was patient, and could have kept my Yukon. BTW-I sold my Yukon to my mechanic for a good price.

Have you brought this to GM's attention or tried going to a different dealership?

Check your valve size most travel trailers are .625. GM is .453  have to be modified. Not sold in that size yet

My 2019 Sierra SLT also came with the TTPMS.  If you do have them installed check with several tire shops in your area, cost varies widely.  In the GMC Manual pages 301 and 302 outlines the programming method.  Pages 378 and 379 outlines the installation.

Is there an easy way to measure the valve stem? i did notice the valve stem does need to be .453 but it really doesn't say how that is measured and i'm not that familiar with it. I do have a trailer that I would like to put the sensors on but i can't find anywhere on the trailer where it says that or online. Thanks in advance!

 

Does anyone know if a discount tire will do the install and not charge an arm and a leg to get it done.

I don't guess it's possible add the Trailer TPMS app to a truck aftermarket?

Not the factory setup.

I picked up my 2019 Trail Boss LT last year and it did come with the trailer tire sensors.  My truck came with the Advanced Trailering Package which includes the tire sensors.  It looks like you need this option to get the sensors.  I had mine installed in my cargo trailer this year and they work great!

  • (PZ8) Hitch Guidance hitch view
  • (U1D) Advanced Trailering System and (PTT) Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor System
  • (PTT) Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor System

$240

Advanced Trailering System

  • checklist
  • trailer maintenance reminders
  • trailer security alerts
  • trailer mileage
  • tow/haul reminder and trailer electrical diagnostics

included

 

Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor System

  • module and set of 4 sensors. Sensor functionality requires Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor System to be ordered the vehicle and installed by the factory. Sensors will be shipped loose the truck and will need to be installed on trailer by customer. Additional or replacement sensors are available as GM Accessory

 

included

For 2020 the sensors are not included with the advanced trailering package.  It's an additional $50 option from the factory.  If the dealer didn't order the truck that way, it's $125 for two sensors from the dealer.  Not much of an incentive for the dealer to order sensors as a factory option when he can sell four sensors for $250.

OP, I think I’d take time to do the GM survey, they push so hard for a perfect score but I’d ding em on yours if I was you.

My 2019 Sierra SLT came  with the extra sensors. My question is, “Can the sensors be used instead, on my set of winter wheels?”

I would think not.  Even if they did work, you'd have to monitor the readings on your infotainment screen.  I imagine they work on different frequencies so as to not interfere with each other.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
