Thanks - I guess I'm blind but I don't see a section for these on their website.

How much were they? I am buying a set next month.
Are they comparable to these?

I was just looking at the Titan site and am curious about the comparisons also. Titan seems to have good prices - just wondering how good of quality they are and if will program correctly.

I am wondering the same things.
I have a 2001 and the sensors are still working just fine. How long do they last, anyway? I am getting new tires but if the sensors will last a few more years maybe I could do without.

I've read on here that most sensors last around 10 years or so and it's very difficult to change the batteries in them. My car has after market chrome wheels that were on it when I bought it last year. It has new tires on it that are around a year old w/6K miles on them - so I don't know if the sensors were changed at that time or not and they work fine. I've since bought some used original polished aluminum wheels and figured I'd put in new sensors when I swap out the wheels just to be safe. I'd hate to use the same sensors and then have them go out and be out labor to break down the tires to install new ones later.

I got replacements from Rock Auto. They have Schrader TPMS on a manufacturer closeout that are $30.79.

Schrader made the original sensors for GM, so these are the same as OEM (except the black plastic is orange on the Schrader valves)

Good Luck.

Good Luck.
I checked them out. Rock Auto 133.78 with shipping and 30 day warranty.
The Titans were 141.00 with shipping with only a fitment warranty.

I would like to buy from supporting vendors, but they're a hundred bucks more. Times are tough.
