I found them on Ebay for 75 a set of 4 new. I got 3 sets coming.

Do you by chance have a link for those?  Only sets I am finding now are in the $130 for 2 range, or are the sets for the half tons, which appear to have a different sku.

I am not sure about the half ton part. Why would they be different. I am not sure if the ones I got have the temp sensor or not but they appear to be the correct frequency. I will know more this weekend after I install them. There were only 4 sets available and I bought 3. They seem to be gone now.

Don't know, but when I checked the fitment on one of the ebay sellers for the "1500" sensors, it said they were not for my vehicle.  I scrolled through the 6 pages of trucks and there were no 2500's or 3500's listed.  

 

Specs on my truck before I bought it showed it was equipped with the advanced trailering and had the U1D module, it does not show up on the rpo codes though.  Is there another way to know for certain before I order sensors somewhere?

The RPO number might be in the QR code on the silver/black label at the bottom of the door post (it won't contain 'all' the codes)

If you take a shot of the QR using a smartphone app it will list the ones that are there.

 

U1D    Advanced Trailering System, includes checklist, trailer maintenance reminders, trailer security alerts, trailer mileage, tow/haul reminder, trailer electrical diagnostics and Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor System module
On LT -  Included and only available with (PCM) Convenience Package II or (ZL6) Advanced Trailering Package. 
Standard on LTZ except -  With (ZW9) pickup bed delete no provision for a trailer tire pressure monitor system will exist but all the other (U1D) features will remain.

Standard on HC

 

Since your avatar info says you have an LT, the first note about PCM or ZL6 applies.

So if you know (or the QR codes shows) you have one of those, then you do have U1D

 

From the VIN, any dealer can print the build sheet for for your truck with all the codes.

 

GM chat /social media can also send you a build sheet if you give them the VIN

That is what I did, appears that it does not show the codes associated with this.

Yes, my truck is an lt with conv package 2.  I have played around some with the trailering menu and I have setup profiles for two of my trailers and connected both of them, and it does have the reminders, mileage , and diagnostics.  Actually told me I had a bulb out on my stock trailer.  Pretty sure I saw a setup screen for the trailer tpms somewhere.

Seeing as how the codes in the door are incomplete, I will definitely do this.

 

Thanks for all the information.

It doesn't show up on the door jamb sticker scan on mine but the dealer said it has that code.

Followed redwngr's advice and got the full build sheet from chat, quicker than a call to the dealer.  Saved the file.  Shows my truck does have the U1D, along with a lot of other codes not listed in the door codes.  

 

Will keep on looking for the sensors, not paying $115 for a pair of them(best current deal I am finding).

How do you get that build sheet? My sensors showed up today. The tool didn't. But I don't expect much from Jeff Bozo.

https://www.chevrolet.com/contact/chat , have to get past the bots and give a live person your vin.
 
Could be wrong, but thought the sensors could be programmed without the use of a learn tool.
They can by releasing or adding air. But it takes longer and it's hard to get it done before it times out. I am doing 3 trailers and it worth 12 bucks to me.

Managed to find one set of 4 sensors new for under $90, should have them later next week.  The harbor freight tire changer will come in handy once again, should be able to break the bead on one side enough to swap out the old stems and put in the tpms.  Guess I will see how it goes without a learn tool, if it is too much trouble, will pick one up.

It should work. I have heard you need to hurry that way and I am too old for that. The tool will also work on my Vettes and her Malibu. So it's worth 12 bucks to me.

I have installed the sensors in my tilt deck trailer. They work and do have temp. The part number is 84152501. There is a photo of the display and 2 of the sensor. The cheap Amazon tool worked fine. Now I have my dump trailer and travel trailer left to do. I am going to repack my travel trailer bearings while I am at it.a5d66ead3d8589ec1315e742da7c6818.jpgca2b7b2d7d5e1b2cee0679f9689ed210.jpg2aeb52975e3ccb283d5a67d488ba754f.jpg

After you set them up they go to sleep to save their batteries. When you get to about 20 MPH they come back on.

My only dislike is that the system doesn't wake them up. So you can't just check the tire pressure before you start driving. I think they do that so they will completely shut off until centrifugal force wakes them up. I guess if they could wake up from a radio signal they would not have very long lasting batteries. But my 08 Corvette shows pressure right away. And it sits about half the year. And it still has the original sensors. The 98 Corvette dose need to get up to about 20 MPH to wake the ones in it up. But still it's a pretty good thing to have on the truck. I should check to see if the ones in the truck tires show before it is moved.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
