If you can spare the extra cash I would replace them

Your sensors are good for about 7-10 years. As long as they are working now I wouldnt worry about it. If your just looking to spend money then go for it. :cheers:

What limits their lifespan? Do they have tiny batteries in them?

Yes they have batteries. Once they stop you can either buy new ones or buy some refurbished ones which have the batteries replaced in them.

The rebuilt sensors for C5 from 2001 to 2004 go for around 35 dollars each. If you go to gmpartshouse.com and purchase new ones they are 40 dollars each. I just ordered replacement tire sensors from gm parts house.

Great info. I thought they were more expensive

They are from other vendors and the '97-'00 wheel sensors cost even more. GM Parts House usually always has really good prices. :cheers:
