Anyone have any problems? Driving to work today psi sensor comes on back left tire. Sat at work for 12hrs never went lower. I added air to see if that would take the light off the dash or warning. Didn't do it . Do I have to have the dealer take this off or is there a trick? Thanks

I'm glad someone brought a tire pressure sensor issue up and maybe we can both get answers. 

 

I haven't had the same issue you are stating, but maybe you have noticed the readings are not accurate? Mine seem to be off by about 4psi. The reading from two gauges do not match up to what the vehicle reads. 

 

Not to concerned, and I keep an eye on it. Was going to bring it to my service center at first oil change but maybe sooner?

Haven't heard of that one. Will have to check mine.

I have five vehicles with individual TPMS readout and I've never had an issue with any of them.  Tire pressure is always within a pound of my Accutire digital tire pressure gauge.  Only two are GM vehicles, and no problems ever with either one.

they can be off and not 100% accurate to the display

 

its just an RF signal sent to a receiver. tint, after market wheels, other things can interfere with the signal. 

 

as far as the light coming on and you put air in it and it didnt change, well do you know for sure that the sensors positions are learned to the vehicle correctly? 

meaning when they get rotated is the shop relearning them after? they need to be relearned every time. so you may be putting air in the left rear but the that may not be the left rear according to the vehicle.

Yes, my 2020 trail boss rear pass. TPS faulted 3 days after my purchase. I took it back to dealership and waited 5 hours for them to tell me they found no issue! I demanded they fix it or give me another truck. Then, They swapped rear tires and the rear drivers TPS faulted. I set up an appointment and they have had my truck for 3 business days with no update. I drove by and my truck is still in the lot around back. Bs

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
