This is a new old stock OE (Original Equipment) General Motors on-the-wheel tire air gauges pack of 4, part number 989276. These fit on the tire valve and show the pressure from 16 to 32 pounds when you take the outer cap off. These will fit any vehicle with a standard tire valve.A note about quality and terms: OE is Original Equipment - this is any part that comes in the car makers box (Ford, Mopar, Toyota, BMW, etc) and most times may have their logo and part number on the part. What most people don't understand is that the car makers don't make very many (or any) of the parts for their cars - they are made by outside manufacturers (Bosch, Hitachi, etc), which brings me to OEM. OEM is Original Equipment Manufacturer - these are the companies who make the parts for the car manufacturers, the problem is the specification for an OEM part may not even be close to OE. As an example, we had a customer with a Mercedes who didn't want to spend the money for a factory O2 sensor so we bought a Bosch O2 (OEM) sensor and put it on and got another check engine light. It turned out the Mercedes specs for O2 sensors are so small, that an OEM could not get within those specs and would set a check engine light on that car. What this shows is just because it says (or is) OEM does not mean it is good enough to compare to OE, so decide for yourself if OE is worth the extra price.
