Does anyone know if the new GM rubber TPMS has any difference than the older style metal ones??? What's the part numbers for the rubber & metal tire monitors? Thanks. :cool2:

Don't know the P/Ns but a lot of folks have had trouble with the rubber ones in the relearn mode.

Supposedly the metal ones were having problems in the rust belt with salt corrosion. So far I haven't seen that with mine. But I wash my truck a lot.

I had one of the metal TPMS valves brake off. All were somewhat corroded. The dealer swapped all out for the rubber ones. The stems on the metal ones are actually aluminum and they are very fragile. For additional information on part numbers, etc you can do a search for Schader TPMS and find all you want.

No problem at all with the relearn mode. Just follow the same procedure as in the manual.

Thanks.
Does anyone know if the newer rubber TPMS units will work on a 2005 Tahoe?
