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...

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
