I have been researching this as I have read that having metal valve stems is better for the sensors used by a tpms. How do metal valve stems work if the toad has a tpms on the vehicle?
My freightliner manual says to follow instructions in the Valor TPMS manual to set the temp warning limits. Has anyone found instructions? I don't even know if we have Valor TPMS on the 2022 DS 4081 since the pressures are displayed on the Opti View instrument panel. There is a lot of...
Part of my decision was based on my overall needs for tpms.
I have 1 Motorohome. 2 toads, and 4 trailers.
The trailers are towed by either of 3 vehicles, one of them being a 2021 Dodge Ram with factory tpms and ability to monitor trailer tires.
That means I have 2 towing vehicles that can...
In my experience TPMS systems are always off by about 10% off. Most systems require the vehicle/tire to be moving for 3-5 minutes before they provide an accurate read, and even then, they are usually about 10% off.
on my SUV, the OEM ones are off by 2lbs from my gauge and pump when the...
I went to a couple of tire shops today to see about metal stems on the toad. My 2015 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk has an on-board tpms in addition to the eez tire sensors I run on the toad valve stems for flat towing. To change out to a compatible stem for my vehicle was expensive. They (Big O)...
I’m usually traveling 1 day each 10 - 20 days. I pick either the day before or two days most. As soon as I get up I turn on my TPMS and check the tires. Any variance over 2-3 lbs. I correct.
...it sounds like they are well made products. I gave up trying to get all my tires at the exact same pressure and manage to get within 2 psi (according to the TPMS) with a manual gauge, but I can see how this would allow fine tuning of tire pressure. You could also compare results with the TPMS.
...flow through valve caps. Both my class B (Ford Transit) and class A dualies have flow through caps. You can also install valve cap style TPMS sensors and eliminate the need to check pressure manually. The downside is if you need to add air the sensors on the inside dualies are a bear to...
Agreed - once I have the pressures are where I want them and my TPMS is reporting consistently, there is no reason to remove the sensor and use the gauge again. I only do that if something is off, or if ‘m changing pressures (which is not often). But at that point I probably am a but obsessive...
I did not set up my toad with in dash TPMS. They say you can buy extra tire sensors and you can incorporate them with your system, but I have yet to run across anybody who has done it yet. I may look into Tire Tracker for my Jeep Sahara toad instead.
