Default TPMS Question

Does anyone know if the TPMS sensors for other GM vehicles will work on a C6? There are many GM TPMS sensors for sale on ebay, but most are for GM models other than the corvette.

Thanks.

John

Not knowing if the both the phyiscal size and the radio signal sent were compatible, i would stray with OEM parts and order them from a discount supplier like GM Parts House.

The only one that will work in the C6 is the gray colored "peanut" shaped sensor with GM Part# 25758220.

That sensor is used in the Cadillac XLR and I believe the STS from a couple years ago.

Our sensors are made by Schrader. Schrader distributes these sensors outside of the GM parts distribution system - they are the exact same sensor except they are red in color and have a Schrader part# of 20076, and they are often much cheaper.

The very early C6's (built prior to about Sept 2004) had a different sensor, but I haven't seen any of those available in a couple years.
