Once I get the RCDLR problems ironed out, maybe I'll dish out for the OTC unit. Thanks.

I DID THE SAME THING ,BOUGHT A SET OF TAHOE LTZ WHEELS ,AND THEY CAME WITH TPMS INSIDE ,DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE the dealer update/reprogram RCDLR SHOULD BE DONE FIRST ,AFTER IT ,IT WAS OK ,MAKE SURE THE TPMS ARE INSTALLED IN THE NEW SET OF WHEELS AND TIRES.

I work for Discount Tire company and i can tell you Chevy's are the easiest of all the makes to reset TPMS. If you go to any Discount Tire store ( idk bout other tire retailers) they have the tools to help you reset the sensors ( it requires a magnet or scanner tool depending on model) The tool will "recalibrate the tpms sensor in the wheel. You have to follow the in-cab reset instructions,l resetting the sensors in the wheels during this process( it involves walking around the vehicle).

Worst case you would need the Identification numbers on the back of the actual sensors and the dealer will have to input these codes in the onboard computer system. But thats worst case.. usually tpms malfunction causes this.. Good Luck Le me know if you need specific instructions i can get them for you..
