Trailer TPMS sensors

[bobholthaus]

I used a handheld tire sync tool for my camper tires that I got when I bought wheels and tires for my truck. I hooked up the camper and went into the trailer settings to set the activation I believe. Then scanned each of the trailer tires. Seemed to work perfectly. Now every time I hook up the camper they sync immediately. Not sure if it matters or not, but I did create a trailer profile for it, and all the other trailers I pull. When I hook it up, it prompts for which trailer profile I want, and I select my travel trailer.

Thanks Jake. They are being installed this week, so I will see what I can find. I'm guessing that if it's in the instrument cluster settings, I'll find it.

No problem, if you run into trouble, let me know.

Does truck send alert for low trailer tire like it does for regular truck tires?

I don't know if it does or not (thankfully no experience with that), I would assume so. When I set mine up it asked for a target psi for the tires, so I assume they build in some sort of threshold for alerts. When you go into the trailering menu with the sensors connected it does give you a big "OK" and a checkmark so you can tell at a glance that everything is as it should be. Then there are individual temperatures and pressures shown for each wheel in smaller font. Attached is a picture of what I'm talking about. Not my picture, I just googled it, but it looks exactly like what mine looks like.

Yep, completely understand. I was skeptical about the amazon ones, but the reviews seemed positive and others said they worked on trucks just like ours, so I took a chance. Love or hate amazon, but their return policy on things that don't work out should be implemented by everyone ha.

100% - I've bought them for 2 trailers off Amazon and have absolutely no issues. $30 for a set of 4 from Amazon vs. $150 for a pair from GMC.

I've never had them alert, but I keep that screen open when on the interstate and I don't remember what the threshold was, but the colors changed from green to yellow when the tires started heating up (105℉ outside temperature running across the high plains). - never went red, which I assumed should have generated an alarm.

Good to know. Mine have never been up that high, or changed colors yet, but good to know nonetheless.
