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...

      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
