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.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
