The TPMS warning light on my 2015 Silverado lit up and the panel indicates the left front tire is low. It shows a pressure of 28-29 pounds. Actual pressure is about 32-33. Did not change any tires and did not add air to any tire recently. I know nothing about these contraptions. Suggestions on where to start are appreciated. Thank you.

Time to either get your TPMS re calibrated or replace the TPMS monitor at that wheel.

Put air in your tire and the light will go off. Your manual gauge could be wrong.

 

I have like 8 different tire pressure gauges, none of the slide style read exactly the same. Bridgestone used to send us boxes of like 200 at a time when I worked for that shop. I'd break them or they'd blow apart all the time. More often than not they are sorta accurate but that's good enough.

When you check pressure in other tires, do they match on your hand held gauge?

Aired all 4 tires up to 35 and disconnected battery. Warning TPMS light is now out, but only one tire shows pressure (31). The other 3 on my display are just "dashes". My screen also insists it is January 1 and 35 degrees. It's been in the 90s here for days!!! I ran it about 8 miles but perhaps it requires more calibration to set everything. Am on my second display as the other one gave up the ghost about 2 years ago. Was out of warranty but luckily GM picked up the tab after alot of complaining. Hope I don't have another issue. Appreciate the comments and help.

I would do the battery disconnect again, but also turn the key on when disconnected.  
 

youill have to rest your clock and drive 5-10 miles and your thermometer will readjust.  You may need to visit a tire shop or the dealer and see if they will rescan your tpms   Def sounds a little off.

Thanks all. Everything working OK now except left front reading 28 psi and the others 31. I'm sure there is 35 in each one. Checked with my motorcycle tires which I keep real close and also a second gauge. Light is off which is the most important. Has anyone used the available on e bay tools which allow you to reset your TPMS?

I bought the Autel TPMS TS508.
I suggest one stay away from the cheap ones, JMO...

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
