What do I do if I swap oem wheels with someone as far as tpms sensors?  Would be swapping oem for oem, just going to a different style.  When I put the new wheels I traded for on my truck do I just use the tpms learn tool to program them to my truck?  Also, what about model year compatibility between sensors?  I'm looking at a set of LTZ 6 spoke wheels off a 2017 truck.  I like the simple clean lines of them.

HD to HD?

 

You will need the sensors for a 2022.  Old ones won't work, different frequency.

Yes, 17’ 2500 Sierra to my 22’ 2500 Silverado.  Well that sucks to hear about them having different frequencies.  So we would both have to have our tires dismounted and sensors swapped.  Don’t believe it’s going to be worth all that trouble.

Sometimes the tire place can just push the bead off at the sensor and swap them without having to do a full dismount remount and balance. You might ask your local tire shop the price to swap the sensors. It might be less than you expect.

Ok guess I could check to get an idea; however The guy I’d be trading with is about 2 hr away so would be meeting him in the middle somewhere, so would be a unknown tire shop.

ended up finding a set of wheels local and purchasing.  Whenever I make up my mind on what tires to go with, I'll probably just get a new set of tpms sensors off Rockauto and install on the new wheels.  Either that, or have the tire shop break down my current stock wheels and pull the original sensors and install on the new wheels.

You can either buy the $15 tool to relearn the tire positions after you put the TPMS in learn mode or you can likely do the old method of letting air out of each tire in learn mode.

Yep, I have the relearn tool.  both my car and the wifes require it as well.  Haven't had to use it on the truck yet to know if it works on it, but hopefully it does.

The relearn tools I have seen are a couple hundred dollars! Can you share what relearn tool you are using?

Google EL-50448.  They are all of $20-40.

dragging this post back up.  New wheels are about done at the powdercoater.  I'm leaning towards just ordering another set of tpms sensors to install on the new wheels instead of messing with having the stock wheels broken down to have the factory sensors removed.  My question is, if I get another set of sensors is there anything that has to be done to wake them up or activate them first, or does the relearn tool simply do that when learning the position?

Just the relearn tool is all you need.  Mount the wheels to the truck, activate learn mode in the DIC and learn the sensors.

Sneak peak of the powder.  Can’t decide if I’m going to run the oem caps or get black caps.  The oem caps have kind of s blueish hue next to the wheel color.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.

      Radio Update

      By newdude · Posted

      PCM?  These don't have a "PCM".  Powertrain Control Module.  They have an ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module).   Do you mean update the radio?     You can check what version you have in the settings page.  Should be Y181 but there might be a newer build they can update it to.
