Just bought a set of wheels and tires and im looking to order a set of sensors for them. It looks like theres two different one 433MHz and 315MHz. How can i find out which one my truck takes? 2018 Silverado Custom 4x4 Factory Black Aluminum 20's with the steel 17" Spare. Thanks

I believe only the Corvette and Camaro uses the 433hz sensors. At least up to about 2015.

Oop's, a little more research shows 315 and 433 for 2017 and 2018.

The HD trucks use the 433 and the non HDs use 315s. At least from what I've gathered during my TPMS sensor fiasco

Is there any code inside the glove box or anything that would help identify which is which. I'm wanting to leave the sensors in my factory wheels and put a new set in my new wheels an tires. The few tire shops I've talked to back here want to charge me two take the sensors out put valve stems in and balance them then mount and balance the new ones so I'd be paying 20-25 per wheels x8 so I figure the 100 I would save would almost buy me a spare set of sensors.

Call GM. Give them your VIN and they should be able to tell you.

I would be willing to bet it's the 315hz. I would just order those and relearn them to your truck before you put them in the wheels to make sure they all work anyways

I would reach out to GM and have them give you a free build sheet unless you have the sheet that shows all the options from the factory. On my 14 it shows an option for 315mhz for my tpms system.

Good idea, email them at [email protected] give them your VIN and they will send you a build sheet document free. Mine are the 315mhz:

XL7 - FREQUENCY RATING 315 MHz

Double check your RPO code list in the glovebox. If you see a code for XL7, you have a 315MHz system, if you see a code for XL8 you have a 433MHz system.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
