GM uses tire pressure sensors that are built onto the inside of the valve stem. You can transfer them to new Rims but you need to make sure they are located the same distance from the center point of the rim as the ones they came out of.
Then you can either make sure the correct TPS goes back into the same postition as they came off or your can reset them as you said. but they are not "Chips in the tires"

By the way most Rim Manufacturers offer a set of new TPS sensors that are compatable to your make car. all you need to do is ask them about it.

Good to know that Manufacturers offer a set of new TPS sensors that are compatable to your make of car.
FYI - the sensors in the tire are RFID tags. YES, they are "Chips in the tires" or valve stems.

This is a surprisingly quiet car. Great on the trip to California. I will tell you this is THE best $26,000 car I've ever driven. PERIOD.

I wonder if the LS is as Quiet as the LT?

I was going to buy some rims for my Sky before I decided to get a Camaro, and Discount Tire will sell a complete package, rims, sensors and everything.

"Fuel range = 294 miles", Tank is full on this V6... how do you get that you will get 500 miles per tank for the V6? Is the Camaro's calculations that bad (+200 mile error)?

"Odometer = 9377 miles, Oil Life = 20% " Has the oil been changed before?

No Route Planned???????

those numbers dont add up then if thats right than at 27.2 mpg that its supposed to be getting that means it has an 11 gallon tank?? That cant be accurate can it?

Like I said earlier you cannot go by the fuel range and what the average MPG is. The fuel range is a calculation using not the displayed average MPG because that is resetable, but it stores a average MPG in the computer that is over a longer period of time (Maybe)
Say you have been flogging the car for a while, and the average mpg is down around 15 MPG... and you need gas and then reset the display, you drive easy for a few miles, Your average MPG shows 27, your gas tank is full but your range only shows 244 miles... well the computer has not fully averaged in your current MPG from what the average was say for the last 50 or so miles... You drive it constantly on the interstate for an hour and I bet that range would jump up significantly... That is how it works on my Sky...

I will have double coverage on my tendency to unknowingly drop the hammer...

Thanks for the post Number 3!! Awesome job!!
