Same. I use them on my travel trailer. Works great, and I love having a clean dashboard, without additional devices or screens

I love 'em. My last POS amazon ones did not even wince when my hubs caught fire, luckily the guy driving next to me did. These appear to be much more reliable.

I did purchase the TPMS tool that was suggested in a forum to pair them (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BK693N/). Was a piece of cake.

GM's trailer tire sensors can be 'taught' without using the tool -- but the tool are available for about $20, and  (imo) makes the job easier.

 

Bonus for the tool will also make it possible to rotate trucks tires (or change winter/summers) without having to take it to get the vehicle sensor locations re-taught. 

 

 

Everyone that orders a truck should order a set of trailer sensors with it. 

Much cheaper that way. 

If not wanting them probably know someone that does ad would be willing to deal. 

 

Max that can be ordered is a set of 4, even though the system can monitor 6 at a time, and can be set up for multiple trailers.

Some with multiple trailer would not doubt appreciate being able to buy more at the option price instead of the accessory price.

Did you have any problem mounting valve stem to trailer rim? i.e. stem diameter.

I just had mine installed on my trailer wheels last week. I had a hard time getting the sensors to wake up using the tool. The left front sensor wouldnt wake up so I couldnt move to the rest of them. I tried starting with the left rear and it worked fine. 

I ended up just using the pressure drop method (about 10 psi) and they woke up correctly. I am looking forward to having a good TPMS system on the trailer. It came with a Tirelinc system on it that was a complete turd and never worked properly. Thats system is a nightmare and I cant believe they still sell them. 

The GM sensors are a great deal. Like was mentioned above, Even if I didnt want them I would have ordered a set for the $50 that GM charges.

I stumbled across this thread and I must say I hadn't heard about getting trailer sensors that work with the truck.  Can someone give me more info on this?  What is required for these to work?  I've not seen any option on the display of my 22' Custom for additional sensors.  Wondering if Custom doesn't have that feature?

I have a 22 Custom as well and I don't think it does.  I could be wrong but from my research it doesn't.  For our camper I went with the TST 507 system that I love.  I bet those who have it have a higher model trim than the Custom.

Do you have the "trailering" app on your infotainment screen?

yes i do.

I don't on my custom model.  Just a trailer light app that is really cool.  I love being able to check the lights on my camper just by pressing on that app.  So cool.

No, doesn’t appear to have a trailering app.  Guess that’s a no go on the oem tpms sensors.  I’ve been looking at aftermarket systems.  Guess I’ll go with one of those.

Let us know what you choose. I'm looking as well.

      Clean During the Day. Serious Light at Night. Sierra HD 40" PRO Kit

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone, If you've been looking for a way to add serious lighting to your 2024–2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD or 3500HD without sacrificing the truck's clean factory look, I wanted to share one of our favorite setups. Our 40" PRO Light Bar Kit is designed specifically for the refreshed Sierra HD and mounts behind the grille for a built-in, OEM-style appearance. The kit is completely bolt-on, uses factory mounting points, and doesn't require any cutting or drilling. It's also designed not to interfere with the active grille shutters or radiator airflow. A few highlights:   Fits 2024–2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD & 3500HD Compatible with PRO, SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali, and Ultimate trims Curved 40" PRO LED light bar with advanced TIR optics Available in White + Amber DRL or Yellow + Amber DRL Complete bolt-on installation Lifetime warranty   We also put together a light output video so you can see how the PRO light bar performs in real-world nighttime conditions. It does a great job showing the beam pattern, width, and distance before you decide if it's the right setup for your truck.   Is anyone else running hidden grille lighting on their Sierra HD? We'd love to see your setup! If you have any questions about fitment, installation, or choosing between the white and yellow beam options, feel free to ask. We're always happy to help. __________________________ www.MandRonline.com https://www.instagram.com/mandrautomotive/ M&R LED Light kits - www.MandRonline.com | Burbank CA https://www.youtube.com/@MandRautomotive

      It is, It is the purpose. Just ask that everyone plays nice     On another note. The Terrain and the Equinox are fraternal twins. The one we have is spitting distance from 300K and yes, it has been problematic. Oil consumption is inexcusable. That said, nearly everything else fell into the "Routine Maintenance" bucket or expected failure due to age or accident. The 2015 Generation are very comfortable and they drive dreamy. The six speed is a rockstar save for the cheap failure prone manual automatic physical switch in the shifter. I called it quits after three.   The Ecotec 2.4 I-4 sans the GDI pump junk is nearly bulletproof. The hardest thing we experienced with this SUV was rear wheel alignment. The back axle is a starter kit. Toe bolts need to be installed as do extended range camber bolts. Then you have to find someone not new to the planet that has the skill and patients for the horrendous task of dialing it in. But once set, it is rock solid.    The new ones....yea, I'll pass. I have one CVT and it is enough. They could be a good transmission but someone would have to really care designing it.  Subaru seems to have it down fairly well.

      When most people look at GM's EV strategy, they think it was dumb. Obviously, duh?   In hindsight, there was significant financial risk in becoming obsolete if GM didn't go all-in, like a lot of automakers. Had the EV market taken off, GM would have been left defenseless.   Not all of their $10.9B was lost. Only a part of that was sunk costs like supplier penalties and retooling for EV's they canceled or never made.   A sizable chunk of that was R&D and intellectual property which is still in their back pocket for future EVs.   GM hedged the risk but overspent, but then they pivoted and focused on their bread and butter. Not only did GM still have the financial prowess to do that, they've done so successfully. It shows a lot of resilience and the market rewarded it.
