yeah, whatever generic units they are selling are duds or at least a portion of them are. I feel like they were somewhat deceptive with their advertising of them by calling them “GM” sensors. I should have spent my money with a reputable parts dealer.

yeah the guy definitely told me numerous times they were GM brand new sensors also, but clearly didn't work for crap.
fortunately the two new ones did and I've had no issues since then, but still.
The plot thickens...I also bought my TPMS sensors from Corvette Garage (on Ebay)...so it seems this vendor is selling flakey sensors....
The part number marked on the Corvette Garage sensors was "13598775", but the plastics bags they came in had no markings, or GM logos. I guess these are knock-offs or 2nd quality units.
What was the part number on the GM branded part sensor that you bought? Was the plastic bag marked/branded?
So, I will go and have that one sensor in the front right wheel replaced, with a genuine GM one.

Indeed the plot thickens haha. Yes there is no doubt corvette garage is selling Temu versions.
Like you said the bag from corvette garage was just blank, a plain plastic bag with no markings. And this is what made me suspicious.
The top bag in the pic is the sensor bag and the bottom bag is the valve stem nut. They are 2 different part numbers and bought these from Summit Racing. Also the GM ones from Summit said Schrader on the back of them. The ones from Corvette garage do not.
The corvette garage advertised part number “13598775” sensors are absolutely 100% not GM genuine Schrader sensors.
So, after figuring out how to find a date-code on the TPMS sensor, I looked back at photos I took of the sensors I bought from Corvette Garage (May 2025), and they are GM sensors made by Schrader, but the date code is 2015......so stupid me installed four 11 year old sensors with my new tires and wheels....
The Date code is printed on the black plastic side edge of the sensor, white ink, formated:
the "xx" is the year ("26" = 2026)
"yyy" is the day of the year (1 to 365)
"CCCCCCCC" is the unique ID number of that sensor, that gets learned to the TPMS system
"13598775" is the GM part number on a GM labeled sensor.
"20223/3033" is the Schrader part number for the replacement sensor
So, lesson learned, don't try to save money, just buy the sensors from a GM dealer, and check the date-code before installing them.
I never knew they had date codes. Good find. I got mine from Rock auto and it worked fine, but I would have checked the date code had I known there was one. Good info. I remembered I kept the box from one I installed last year. The date code is actually on the box. 12/04/2024. So mine was just a few months old having purchased from Rock Auto early April/2025. Not bad. I didn't have any problem with it as you would expect.
