I have a 2019 SLT without the NHT/Max Tow, but with the Z82 trailering package, factory trailer brake controller, trailering app, and the IOT radio.  The truck did not come with the trailer TPMS; not only did it not come with the sensor, but it also didn't come with the module that goes behind the rear license plate.  Not realizing that a separate module was needed, I ordered the sensors first.  That obviously did nothing, as the truck did not recognize them.  So I then ordered the module from eBay.  My truck had the wiring harness already ran to module location, so when the module arrived I just plugged it in.  The trailering app immediately recognized the module and gave me an option to set up the trailer TPMS sensors.  No dealer programming necessary.  It was all plug and play.  I had America's Tire install the sensors, and I then used my TPMS tool (Amazon, same one for doing tire rotations) to program them.  It works perfectly.  The trailering app now displays the tire pressure and temperature for all 4 trailer tires.

 

Just thought I'd put this out there in case anyone is wondering if this can be added.  I read a GM tech article where the writer indicated that it could NOT be added after-the-fact, but that is clearly not the case.

 

Here were the items I purchased to make it all work:

  • Sensors, part #84152501.  $65 new on eBay for a set of 4.
  • Module, part #84458180.  $77 new from GMPartsDirect.com

 

All-in for about $150.

You have a picture of the installed module? Can one see it by taking the rear plate off?

Sorry I don’t have my truck at the moment. But if you take off your rear license plate, you can quickly and easily tell them if you have the module or not. If you want to post a picture of yours, I can tell you.

Not my picture, but one I found online. The module is the rectangular box on the right, that says MADE IN UK and SCHRADER ELECTRONICS.

My truck had the wiring harness already ran to module location,

 

I have a '19 3500 Denali. It has the Z82 trailering package, factory brake controller, 5th wheel prep, but a different radio (I06) and RPO JK1 - TPMS Delete. I looked at the back of the truck and did not see an additional wiring harness. So in addition to the module I'm guessing I'll need that harness too. Any input is appreciated.

So right now my trailer app in the truck only gives me the option for the light check. If i get the module and tpms sensors, then i'll have the availbilty to monitor the trailer tires? I thought that the software in the truck was different to be able to have that ability...could be because I have an RST without the advanced trailering package?

I also have an RST and all I get on the trailer app is a light test.  I decided to just try adding the module to see what would happen.  I still just get the light test.  To the OP, prior to adding the module did you only get a light test option or did it give you other options?  I'm curious because I had trouble getting the plug into the module (thought it should have been easy) and I want to be sure I didn't mess up the harness in the process.

I'm interested in this too. I have an LT with the larger radio (Sirius XM, HD radio, etc), but my trailer setup only includes the light test.

I checked and I don't have the module, it sounds like it takes more than just buying the module, maybe a flash from the dealer?

good afternoon

 

I have a 2020 Silverado 1500 LT trail boss that does not have the advanced trailering package 

 

I purchased the module you recommended above when I plugged it in in the rear of the truck behind the license plate and turned the truck on it did not recognize it nor when I plugged in my trailer

 

I believe I have the iOS radio .  Is there anything I need to do to get this to work?  Any type of computer flash in the OBD-II?

 

we are leaving on a camping trip in two weeks so I was hoping to have this done soon anyway advice would be much appreciated

Hi SoxFan904... Did you figure out why it didn't work, I have a 2020 RST with the IOS radio and Z82 trailer pack. Would like to try it as well but don't want to spend the money if it doesn't work. Perhaps a GM dealer can program the module? Any info you can provide is appreciated. Thanks.

I have the Z82  in my Codes but I was not able to figure it out.  I installed the module I bought in the back of the truck and it did nothing, even when I hooked up to my Camper.  My Truck ONLY has the trailering app.  I am going on a trip soon with my camper, so I didn't want to take the chance of having the valve stems replaced with the GM ones I bought and have it still not work. 

 

My understanding is that it was something available from the factory and cannot be programmed, but I cannot find a definitive answer on that.  I was hoping it could be an "upgrade" I could buy.  I contacted my dealership and they were unsure as well.    I'll provide any updates if I have them, as I am going to try again to reinstall it and maybe have a valve put on my spare tire as a test.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
