Another update, a buddy let me borrow some TPMS sensors that came with his 2015 1/2 ton. They arnt the same p/n that the dealer gave me but i was able to program them to the truck without any trouble. I suspect any 433 MHz sensor will work.

For those who want transparent trailer to work on conventional trailers, I have attached the trailer camera install location.   Before purchasing the camera you may want to check this location on your

My dealer just checked today. The trailer TPMS is $150.00 per two. Quite abit more than if I would have ordered the four with the truck. Sorry I didn’t ask for part numbers.

There are buttons on the door handles. The running boards do not look as clean as the retracting ones on the 1500 but I dont mind them.

Can you turn them off/on separately from the headlights?  I know you can’t on my ‘17 but was just curious.

Havnt specifically tried this but i am assuming they come on with the running lights. There is no seperate switch for them. So if the headlights are on then they are on. 

 

Out of curiosity, why would you want to turn them off?

The way the person who asked to see them off/on made it seem like in my brain there was an on/off switch and I was curious why that would be.  I realized as I was asking the question what he probably meant but asked anyway.

 

i have no idea why you’d want them off while your headlights were on

Can you post a picture of your labels showing the tow & payload capacity? Block out the VIN of course.

 

Thanks.

It's interesting how your 2500 has 50lb less GVWR than my '09 dually, but my rear axle is rated for 8200 and yours only 6600.

I ordered some also. Hope  to see them next week ahead of the truck. 

Did the dealer have to program and sync your truck or how did that process work? 

Thanks.

Finally got the ebay sensors installed. Took a few tries but i eventually got them programed to the truck. Interesting note, the instructions say the truck will honk and lights will flash when sensors are learned. Mine never did so i counted to 15 and moved on to the next. I left one tire low just to see if they were reading correctly. 

Also, noted one tire reads 5 degrees higher than the rest for some reason.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      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.
