I bought a 2020 GMC 2500HD Denali a couple days ago.  LOVE it.  I upgraded from an F-150 that I was using to tow a 29' travel trailer.  Anyways, I have a TST 507 TPMS that I was using to monitor the temperature and pressure on my trailer.  My truck did not come with any tire pressure sensors.  I read in another thread that you can use any sensors that are on 433 MHz and mine are.  I can't find any other info about it though.  The dealer wants like $300 for the sensors even though it's a $50 option online.  Does anybody know if I can just use my existing sensors?  I've read that you can use the app to set these up.

So I've been reading these forums for a few days now. The GM Trailer TPMS sensors are ridiculously over priced. Average $100 each Canadian or $70 each US. So I tested the sensors on my truck (2020 Sie

I run them on my G rated trailer tires. The highest you can set them is 100 PSI  I figured that would still work if they notified me below 100 it still should  be  time to pull over before a blow out.

I don’t know if any others will work but, I did talk to my local dealer about this cuz I noticed most dealers aren’t ordering the option. They quoted me 72$ for four sensors and you have them installed at a local tire shop. You may want to look around maybe your dealer is just price gouging.

I used a set of gm sensors from an older truck ($25 on ebay). I have the tool and programed them myself after having a tire shop install them.

this is the part number from one of the tpms from the truck..this is what is included with the truck if your dealership ordered it correctly...you can see the frequency right on it.  tomorrow morning i am pulling my trailer to discount tire to have them installed so i can program them to the truck...i bought a set of 4 of these on fleabay for 50 bucks so not to bad of a price.  in my case i am getting 4 sets since i own several large trailers i want to monitor...as for programming them you do not require a special tool to program them..

Did the aftermarket sensors in 433mhz work with the trailer app for TPMS?

Seems to be the same instructions as the 2020 owners manual.

(Starts on page 311 of the sierra version.)

Is anyone running there tires at 110psi and using the TPMS to monitor there trailer tires? Can you only set the pressure on the trailer tire app to 100psi? If so can you set the low limit to 100psi and top to N/A?

 

Thanks

does anyone know what the diameter of the stem on the supplied ones from GM Measure (.433 or .625 diameter at sealing point). Found some on line but think they are the smaller size.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.

      Oil Consumption

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.
