Where is the best place to replace the tire sensors and what should they cost? I have seen prices all over the place. Just got that message on the DIC yesterday. Now I don't know if this had anything to do with it but this just happened shortly after I hit a pot hole in the road. Not a bad one per-say, but just enough to get my attention. Could this have caused it? This is on a '06 Z51 3LT

You should be able to get a set of 4 OEM TPMS on eBay for about $70-80. Most other retailers will prices them at anywhere from $34-$70 each.

I have an 06 and went with the Schrader 20076. Rock auto has them for less than a $100 delivered. Had them now for a
couple of months and no issues.

Ditto that: Just bought a set from Rock Auto, Schrader 20076 for $20 each. They are the recommended one, by the way. No need to spend more. If yours are the originals they're actually over due for replacement! Discount Tire charged me $20 per tire to install and re-balance the tires. Only issue I had was they couldn't get the car to go into re-program and I had to stop by a dealer to get them programmed. They told me it happens once in awhile but they are usually able to program them.

Thank you fellow fellow C6ers. I am in the process of ordering them now from Rock Auto.

I got mine directly from Schrader (cheaper than Rock) and same GM p/n on my 2005 as the Cadillac GM #, had them installed no issues now

What's the benefit of replacing it vs just replacing the battery?

EDIT: Never mind, the batteries are non replaceable, that's why.

Schrader? do you have a link to the site. I typed that in and it brought up a funeral home....LOL

Go to Costco. They'll sell you a set, install them, and reset your system for under $200.

You can find youtube videos of diehard penny pinchers digging out their batteries and replacing them. Might have made sense a decade ago when they were more expensive but I bet the long term success rate wasn't very good. Not something I would even consider.

Ended up going to Discount tire and had them replaced mounted balanced for about 200 bones. was in and out in about a half hour. added up it was the best and cheapest option rather than buying them for an out side source and hoping when I go to a tire store they would be the correct one's plus the mounting and balancing was free. thanks for all the advice. :-)
