How does the truck handle TPMSs on two different trailers? (One tandem boat trailer and one tandem cargo trailer). 

Is it possible to sync up for two trailers? Dependent on proximity of the trailers to the truck? (They are currently parked next to each other).

Not sure really, I only have one trailer. I am assuming that since the truck allows you to save specific trailer profiles, that it would only show you the TPMS associated with the selected profile.

Finally made my first tow. 600 miles through mixed terrain, both interstate and city traffic. Overall, I am really impressed. The truck was smooth riding, stopped well, held speed great both up and down plenty of 6 degree inclines.

 

This is my first diesel so not sure how it compares to others but compared to the 6.0 I was towing with, night and day difference. I felt i had more control and plenty of  pulling power. The 6.0 had me trying to game the hills or be forced to limp up the hill at 40 at 3500+ rpms.

 

There are a few things i noticed, 1. The invisable trailer thing is neat but it takes a calibration period to set up. It says drive a straight line for up to 60ft below 30 mph. Not sure if its camera placement or what but it took nearly a mile to calibrate. I did keep the cal next time i fired it up but lost it during a fuel stop. I could not get it to recal until I hit some traffic. 

 

2. Found that if I hit a major bump my side mirrors would sag and I would need to readjust them. Happened several times over the 600 miles. 

 

3. Lastl minor peeve, with a trailer arrached, when you put on a turn signal if changes the infotainment to the side mirror view. Great for changing lanes, pain when sitting at a light trying to use the nav.

Another note, if the invisable trailer view can't cal it defaults to the split screen side mirrors/rear view. I think i acutally prefer that view having been stuck with it nearly have half the trip.

I don't have one but iirc, the videos of the dash app did show that it can save settings for more than one trailer.

 

Presumably this includes tpms settings/pairings, trailer brake control settings, camera info etc etc

did the tpms for trailer work throughout trip ?

Yep, worked perfect. Pressures and temps were consistent.

thanks - also thanks for camera #- dealer couldn't find part # for 2500 -so glad your # works - he ordered one now.

it appears that the rake is not as severe as previous models on truck when empty

anymore thoughts in truck after first trip? mileage ect...

Pulled great, averaged 9-10 mpg with a 9k toy hauler. Wont say I didnt know it was there but it didnt feel like it was holding me back any. Towed both with and without the tow mode and didnt really notice a difference.

Is it possible to use more than 4 sensors at one time in the Heavy Dutys or is it limited to 4 like on the half tons? It would sure be nice to have pressure and temps on an 8 tire gooseneck.

When I set my four up I was asked on a graphic with a picture of three trailers. They had two, four or six wheels to select.

You can run 6 on the 1500 it just comes with 4

Ah ok i was thinking it maxed at 4. i have the sensors for mine but they're still sitting in my center console. I have 4 different trailers i pull so i havent decided which one i actually want to use them on lol.

Both 1500 and 2500 can handle 6 trailer tires (according to order guide).

 

The kit that can be added to a factory order is 4.

 

It can also be setup for more than one trailer -- assuming enough sensors are purchased. 

RPO code is PTT for both 1500 and the HD's

 

PTT         Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors, includes set of 4 sensors. Sensor functionality requires (U1D) In-vehicle Trailering App to be ordered with the vehicle and installed by the factory. Sensors will be shipped loose with the truck and will need to be installed on trailer by customer. System is capable of monitoring up to 6 wheels. Additional or replacement sensors are available through GM Accessories
1 - Requires (ZL6) ProGrade Trailering System or (PDQ) Preferred Package.   (--  note for 2500)

1 - Requires (ZL6) ProGrade Trailering System.  (--- note for 1500)

 

 

I haven't heard or asked if more than one set of 4 extra sensors can be added to factory order

The sensors are cheap on eBay that’s where I purchased extras
I Will be installing sensors on multiple trailers nothing more than four tires a piece
1 landscape with 4 tires
1 enclosed inline snowmobile 28’ neo 4 tires
1 Open snowmobile tilt 2 place 2 tires

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
