Default Tpms repacing

Just wanted to send everyone a message that I just replaced the tires on my 2007 C6 and at the same time replaced all four of the tire pressure monitors that were 10 years old. Everything I read said 10 years was about the max. that they should continue to function. I broke open one of the old ones to test the battery and found that the battery was stamped as 3 volts. When I did a voltage test on one of the batteries it showed that they were still at a full 3 volts. I had to share this because I could not believe that after ten years the batteries were as good as new.

Hey, give the guy a break. He's probably had no issues and just reads. He's only 12,876 posts behind you and probably a whole lot of miles too, since the batteries don't die quickly if you don't drive much.
My 2 GM 9yo cars are both over 100K with original working TPS.

Your correct my vette has 23k miles and I had only one problem since it was new and that was a leaking pan gasket. $980 repair.
