Default are these the correct tpms?

looking to replace my sensors and found these on ebay. they appear to be the correct sensors for my 08. has anyone used these? parts monkey wants $33 a piece and these are four for $70. 25758220 is the correct shrader part number. http://www.ebay.com/itm/4X-For-Cadil...1WXsfW&vxp=mtr

just check the gm parts direct website. It will give you the information you are looking for. To answer your question thou...yes, those appear to be the correct replacement sensors.

i checked the website and it said they are indeed correct though the drawing of the sensor is different than the image on the ebay page. the image on parts monkey site is identical to the image on the ebay page but parts monkey wants nearly twice the price.

the description says they will fit my car and it says they are 315hz. because they are so much cheaper than everyone else, i was just trying to be extra careful that's all.

Here is what I found strange about those TPMS sensors that the OP shows in his post.


I have been told the 2009 and earlier Corvettes cannot use the same TPMS sensor as the 2010-2013 Corvettes because of how they communicate with the car.

On the website, the P/N that the OP shows fits my 2011 GS ... Well, if they are correct for a 2011 GS, how can they work on a 2009 or earlier Corvette?

BTW ... all years of C6 Corvettes use a 315hz sensor.

EDIT: I entered my 2011 and it says it's compatible

Then I entered a 2008, and it also says it's compatible

I don't see how that can be

you are right about later c6s using a diffferent sensor. according to gm parts direct, that part number fits 2005-09 cadillacs and corvettes. http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oe-gm/25758220

Just because someone tells you it fits doesn't mean it will work. Amazon hosed me by telling me the '05 - '09 sensors P/N "Will fit your vehicle!" and, yes, they fit... but no, they don't work. Shame on me for not checking my sources and reading up on it first.

Best advice is ignore that guy. He's pretty useless 95% of the time. View his profile, click <User Lists> below his photo then <Add to Ignore List> and your forum experience will be much more pleasant.

Ok ... I checked a little more.

2010 - 2013 Corvette uses the Schrader # 20158

2009 and earlier uses the Schrader # 20076 (GM # 25758220)


So, the OP ordered the correct sensors for his 2008. The sensors he ordered are not made by Schrader however. At least it don't mention Schrader anywhere in the ebay ad.

i checked his profile and he has a 97% positive rating on over 1100 transactions. of the 27 negatives he has over the past year, over 20 of them were for the same dodge sensor not working out of the box. we shall see I guess.

Go to Cultrag Performance GM OEM Parts. $159.00 for all 4 that work for your car. Being cheap is not the way to go with most parts for our cars....

The Schrader P/N is: 20076

The GM P/N is: 25758220

Same part, just made by different companies (for the 2009 and earlier C6)

I guess we'll see after OP buys them/uses them. I was just wondering, if not in use, can these TPMS sensors get "old" in the box? We know that in use the sensors are good for about ten years or slightly less or more. I have to agree that at $159 for four with no stories, that would be my preferred route to go.

I just changed out my 2006 TMPS sensors with Schrader sensors that cross referenced OEM part # 25758220. The old OEM Schrader sensors were Gray in color, and the new ones were reddish.
As long as the part cross references the OEM part #, then it should be good to go.
Thenew sensors relearned on the first try usinga relearn tool.
This is the same Sensors for 2005-2009
2010 and above use a different sensor.

Good Luck and let us know how they work.

based on the pic, the sensors are grey. thinking they are the right sensors but who knows how old they are. have no idea what the shelf life of a lithium battery is. guess i will find out. going to hold on to the oems just in case as they are still functioning at this point though they are pushing ten years old.
