So long story short I tow A LOT, and mostly around 6500 pounds. The truck came with 22" rims which just didn't work for the weight that I am towing. I went with a light truck tire which has deeper treads and a larger tire wall so it can hold the weight and get as much traction as possible. The tire HAS to be inflated to 60 psi when towing ( which is every day ) and the warning is being displayed in the info center in dash that the tired are way over inflated etc etc, and I even have OnStar calling now!!!! I went to the dealership and the said I have to basically deal with it, or inflate/deflate the tired when towing and not towing. There HAS to be a way around this!!! They also said that can't re-programm the truck to think that 60 is ok, but I'm thinking they can it's just a liability... Thedealership also said that the systemis connected with the ABS unitand all this other stuff... sigh....Please help! BTW- the truck is an 08 Escalade

 

did you check the tow capacity before buying the truck? i think you'll find it is less than 6500 lbs. and that is why you may be having trouble.. i know, you didnt want to hear this stuff......

ok, just talked to one of my GM techs... they are able to reprogram the system and tell it that 60lbs is ok... however, there liability, and your warranty are issues at that point. possible if you give a waiver, they might accept, and do what you want

The 08 is rated to tow up to 8500lbs. So, would they be able to just plug the Tech2 in and punch in the numbers I want and it's go time?

 

the tpms turns on only if u go over 7 psi or lower than 7 psi than the specs.
the specs should be on the driver door when u open it. and they should be able to reprogram the sensors. if the light is always on u might have a broken tpms

 

how are you making out?
