Is it possible for the system to read more than 4 tire sensors?

Yes, up to six per trailer.

I know this is an old thread but in regards to trailer TPMS sensors. I see a lot of part numbers and I understand that any 433mh sensor will work. But to be clear so I dont order the wrong part. Does this work?

New member here so take it easy on me.  New owner of 2020 GMC Denali 2500. Bought off lot.  I've been reading through the various threads on here regarding adding the rear trailer camera as well as the TPMS and I am still somewhat confused.  Well I'm not really confused if I want to spend $400 on a camera from "shopchevyparts" or spend about $300 for 4 TPMS.

 

For the camera, I currently have a Furrion wireless camera installed on my fifth wheel with separate monitor.  Works great, but hey, I want to utilize the system that came with my truck.  Assume there is no way to utilize the furrion camera, so a few questions.

Is there a wired camera out there other than spending $400 on the GM camera that will work?

How hard is it to run the wires from the back of a 5th wheel to plug in?

Can you view the rear only or does it only serve to view the "invisible trailer"?  The invisible option is cool I guess, but I mainly want to use it to view the rear of the trailer when changing lanes. 

 

For the TPMS, I currently have the EezTire system that uses a monitor and wireless modules that simply screw on the end of your valve stems.  I assume I can't use these to sync up to the trailer app on my truck?

So if I am going to buy 4 new TPMS for my trailer, I did see a link to Ebay ones you guys have bought for cheap but the link is no good any more.  I really don't want to pay GM $300 for 4 of them.  Do you have a link to ones that will work?  

Will any tire place install them for you?

 

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for the replies.

I ordered and had installed the same TPMS sensors that we have on the truck into the stems of our trailer tires.  They read out under the trailer setting giving you the tire pressure and temp.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/373846448395?hash=item570afc190b:g:p1EAAOSwC29hzroz

Has anyone found a suitable sensor for the wheels with the larger valve stem holes. I just purchased new wheels for the toy hauler and the factory sensors are too small

As far as the sensors not fitting, all you need to do it’s change the rubber seals to ones that fit the larger holes. Sorry I don’t know the number to tell you but that’s all I did. Bought a set of metal stems with the correct size gasket and swapped them out. Any tire shop should have them on hand.

      Vehicle Payments

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
