A rear tire sensor is shot on my c6. The tire shop says they can use a universal replacement for 69.00 and fix it. The dealer says it needs a specific sensor especially designed for the car at 127.00. Opinions?

@Rotor57 had 4 for a 2010 back in September for sale here in our classifieds . Don't know if he sold them or not.

Had one go on my 2005 down in Kentucky last year. The local tire shop didn’t have a replacement so I drove without one. Check a tire shop in Amarillo but when they didn’t treat me well I walked away. Drive home to Canada and stopped at Kaltire in Lethbridge. Owner there said GM has gone to a universal that works with all their vehicles. Not knowing any better I said install it. Been working perfectly ever since.
I say go for the universal as it’s a part you never see and once the battery goes dead you have to replace it anyway.

My experience as well
gm ones were 10 bucks higher not 50 AT THE DEALERSHIP I INQUIRED AT
toyota and others have gone universal but charge more for Toyota universals, same part and part number

sensor is a sensor. No difference between run flats or regular tires. When I changed from run flats the sensors were left as is. I guess it means the air is the same too! 
Entirely different air Rocky.
rocky is full of air.
actually rocky is lucky he is full of air,We're all full of something Jeff .....
some of the rest of us just stink
I only notice it when we get that north wind Jeff.... Weird eh?
