First off, let me say that I really tried to NOT make this thread. I Googled and searched many GM truck forums including this one but every search ended with dead links and more uncertainties.
I need new TPMS sensors and have found countless part numbers for what are supposedly all OEM sensors. I know GM seems to randomly change their part numbers for the exact same part but they also sometimes change designs/brands/suppliers/etc. for upgraded parts which get new part numbers. I THINK I have it narrowed down to the "latest and greatest" design that's supposed be a direct replacement for what originally came on the car but with a much improved lifespan. The part number I have is 13598771.
Most threads I find on this subject are people asking about their '07 models with totally different part numbers than what I'm finding for what originally came on my '08. The other threads are about how to program their new OEM and/or aftermarket sensors on '12 and '13+ models.
Are the '08s a one-year only design? Do any of you have an '08 and have replaced the sensors with good results? About the only sustained detail I found was that the OEM brand(s) sensors were the most reliable, so I'm really not interested in aftermarket parts.
