I have a 2020 Silverado LTZ with the Advanced Trailer System.  The TPMS wheel sensors were not included in the truck when purchased. GM says 4 sensors should be included.  The dealer knows nothing about this.  Upon some pressure, the dealer says I could buy them from  Parts at their cost.  $360.  GM website says 4 sensors cost $50.  Maybe the $360 is for installing the sensors in the trailer wheels and learning them.  Anybody had experience with this issue?

It sounds like your dealer is intent on ripping you off?  Even if the sensors cost $100 at the dealer, it's still a ripoff to install them for $260.  After they pulled the 4 sensors out of the truck when they received it...

This thread is a little dated but from what I've read GM stopped supplying the sensors in the 2020 models.  The 19's did come with them in the truck.  My new 2500HD did not come with the sensors but they can be had for about $130.00 per pair on-line.

Thanks for the reply.  The dealer told me that they do come in the 2020 Duramax but not the gas engine.

But I guess they were wrong since you have a Duramax and didn't get the sensors either!!

The only come from the factory (on 2020's) if the necessary option code is added to the order. 

 

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

 

 

They not standard on any trim.

This ^^^^^

 

Had to add 4 to my new truck as it was ordered without that option. Got a trailer camera too. Sensors were just under $300 CDN with my new vehicle discount. FYI it's like a $60 option to add it when building a truck so if you are going that route throw them in even if you never use them.

Crazy markup on these things from $50 for 4 to $160 a pair on the gm parts site.  Sure there are aftermarkets available.

They did NOT come with my duramax, but my truck does have the u1d.

Mine didn't have the PTT. I found them on Ebay for 75 a set of 4 new. I got 3 sets coming. I want them on 3 of my 4 trailers. I don't use my deck over much or take it far. But the dealer quoted me 150 for 2 so I got 12 for less than 4. I have a bead breaker and ordered the programming tool so I will just do it myself.

Saw them on ebay, was not sure if the ones I saw were actually the right frequency, and was also a bit skeptical of some of the sellers.  

 

Also, thought I read that only 6 tires or sensors can be acknowledged by the system.  Maybe that is per trailer profile?

Have you tried it yet? That’s a pretty good price. 
I get it and the sensors tomorrow. I will try it this weekend.

Yes per trailer. You can program 4 or 5 trailers plus the guest trailer has tpms programming as well.

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....

      If we're talking futures, yes, it's speculation.   The spot price of a delivered barrel is elevated now compared to before the conflict. And that is related more to current supply/demand.

      SPECULATION on the wars effect raised prices. AI is maximizing the profit. Refining is vertically integrated.
