trailer tpms sensors

[jeffkirk66]

I have a 2020 Silverado LTZ with the Advanced Trailer System.  The TPMS wheel sensors were not included in the truck when purchased. GM says 4 sensors should be included.  The dealer knows nothing about this.  Upon some pressure, the dealer says I could buy them from  Parts at their cost.  $360.  GM website says 4 sensors cost $50.  Maybe the $360 is for installing the sensors in the trailer wheels and learning them.  Anybody had experience with this issue?

It sounds like your dealer is intent on ripping you off?  Even if the sensors cost $100 at the dealer, it's still a ripoff to install them for $260.  After they pulled the 4 sensors out of the truck when they received it...

This thread is a little dated but from what I've read GM stopped supplying the sensors in the 2020 models.  The 19's did come with them in the truck.  My new 2500HD did not come with the sensors but they can be had for about $130.00 per pair on-line.

Thanks for the reply.  The dealer told me that they do come in the 2020 Duramax but not the gas engine.

But I guess they were wrong since you have a Duramax and didn't get the sensors either!!

The only come from the factory (on 2020's) if the necessary option code is added to the order. 

 

PTT         Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors, includes set of 4 sensors. Sensor functionality requires (U1D) In-vehicle Trailering App to be ordered with the vehicle and installed by the factory. Sensors will be shipped loose with the truck and will need to be installed on trailer by customer. System is capable of monitoring up to 6 wheels. Additional or replacement sensors are available through GM Accessories

 

 

They not standard on any trim.

This ^^^^^

 

Had to add 4 to my new truck as it was ordered without that option. Got a trailer camera too. Sensors were just under $300 CDN with my new vehicle discount. FYI it's like a $60 option to add it when building a truck so if you are going that route throw them in even if you never use them.

Crazy markup on these things from $50 for 4 to $160 a pair on the gm parts site.  Sure there are aftermarkets available.

They did NOT come with my duramax, but my truck does have the u1d.

Mine didn't have the PTT. I found them on Ebay for 75 a set of 4 new. I got 3 sets coming. I want them on 3 of my 4 trailers. I don't use my deck over much or take it far. But the dealer quoted me 150 for 2 so I got 12 for less than 4. I have a bead breaker and ordered the programming tool so I will just do it myself.

Have you tried it yet? That’s a pretty good price.

Saw them on ebay, was not sure if the ones I saw were actually the right frequency, and was also a bit skeptical of some of the sellers.  

 

Also, thought I read that only 6 tires or sensors can be acknowledged by the system.  Maybe that is per trailer profile?

I get it and the sensors tomorrow. I will try it this weekend.

Yes per trailer. You can program 4 or 5 trailers plus the guest trailer has tpms programming as well.
