So I just ordered new wheels (finally) and I was curious if there was preference for new TPMS. Mine are wonky so I am just going to get new ones. Any personal favorites?

I'll keep this in mind, I'm gonna talk to Discount to see if they will throw me a bone on them since I bought tires through them. Do you have a part number on those sensors?

What kind of tires are you going with? If they are not able to hold the factory recommended PSI then you are going to have to also pay to get them reprogrammed to a lower PSI rating. Long story short your light will still be on whether you have them in their or not depending on the PSI in your tire without redoing the programming. If that at all made since...

What is the factory range? 50-80psi?

I am not 100% sure. I know on my current truck my light comes on with the fronts at 45 psi and the rears at I think 60psi.

I reset mine with a Snap On Solus. Fronts are 40 psi and rears are 36 psi

The pre 2015 trucks I believe that method and the GM tool it can be done with just that and being near the TPMS sensors themselves. Easy and cheap. On my dang truck you actually have to get into the BCM and reprogram them from what I have been told...

Schrader 33500 best sensor on the market, programmable to all vehicles with the correct tool, reasonably priced as well.

So can you use any sensor you want on these trucks and they will work? And do the rims have to be made tpms ready or can any rim be fit with a sensor? I'm tpms illiterate......
