Battery is about dead. I change these on my vehicles myself, pretty simple to do. Go on Amazon and order some new ones you can get them for around $20 - $30 for four. They are vehicle specific so make sure you get the right ones. You'll also need the relearn tool usually about $10.

so you change the whole sensor and not the batttery?  ive never looked at them. only issue i would have is rebalanceing the wheel to the rim if i do it myself..

Right you change the whole valve. You only have to break the valve side of the tire down. If you don't rotate the tire on the rim no need to rebalance.

You replace the whole sensor.  Just need to break the outer bead and push it down enough to service the TPM sensor and valve stem.

The others aren't too far behind the first!  BTDT!

 

I bought 4 new GM OE sensors for $45 off ebay and paid my local tire shop $80 to install them AND balance and rotate the tires for me.  Saved my back.

If you use Amazon just type in tpms sensor for 2018 Silverado in the search bar and all options will come up. It will say if it fits your vehicle.

I had the same issue on my 2017. The dealership tried to reset the TMPS and no change and they quoted almost $300.00 to replace one of the sensors. The service representative said it is ridiculous what GM charges for the sensors, and he quietly recommended that I get the sensors from eBay. The dealership wanted almost $100 per sensor, but I got all four GM (13540604) sensors for $118.96. I decided to replace all four, so I don't have to deal with this again. You can check the RPO codes that are listed in the glove box. My truck's TPMS RPO code is XL7 (Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor - FREQUENCIES RATING 315 MHZ). 

Hope this helps.

Will bad sensors send an abs system warning to the "my chevrolet" app on my phone? The rear 2 sensors suddenly started reading nothing on my 2018 silverado today while I was driving. Got a tpms warning on the dash, but the app showed an abs system warning. Tire pressures are all good.

I have the exact same issue. Sensor went bad and now all of a sudden I get the ABS alert in the myGMC app after driving it. Once the truck sits for a bit after driving, the ABS alert goes away in the app. No alerts at all in the truck. It’s all in the app. 
 

I’m not getting any codes either when plugging in the OBD II reader. As long as I’m not getting any codes or lights on the dash I’m not going to worry about it. Yet.

Tire pressure sensors won't set an ABS light/warning message.  They'd set a tire pressure light/warning.

But if the app has the TPMS as part of the ABS system, that could be a why it shows up under that warning message. Some vehicles may have the TPMS integrated with the ABS/Trac/Stabiltrak but while also being separate from the PCM/TCM reporting. I wouldn't worry about it though.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
