I just have whatever they put in there, I'm sure they aren't GM but they work fine.

I buy them from EBay, you can get a set of 4 for very little money. They work great, run them in my trailers and other car that has 2 full sets of wheels.

2020 trucks need to have the 433 mhz sensors

do new sensors have to be programmed to the truck?

if so, how is it done?

It would be nice to leave the originals in the original wheel/tire set-up and then have a second set in new wheels and tires

Yes they will need progmed. There is a special tool that has to be used

i’m assuming the dealership has to reprogram them? in my previous vehicles you just do it by adding or removing air to and from the tire during the learning process and it identifies them.

Any tire shop can do it or you could buy the TPMS tool on amazon for like $12.

If nothing has changed the sensors just need to be triggered by the tool and the truck will pick it up and learn that position. I remember on other older vehicles mainly foreign and I think some ford/dodge that I needed to program the sensor with real fancy tool before putting it in the rim.

yeah it took 30 seconds at the dealership. just held the programming tool at the valve stems and went clockwise around the truck.
