    Wireless TPMS Good or Bad

    I recently converted my jeep wrangler to metal valve stems compatible with the jeeps tpms sensor. This allowed me to connect the tpms without worry of damaging the rubber stem.

    Valve stem extender issue on Freightliner/Accuride wheels, again!

    They do wear out eventually. Mine have been onfor five years. I just got new tires and the re-installed the old extenders. The no longer worked the the pass thru tpms sensors. He replaced them with new ones which work fine.

    TPMS Recommendation

    Over the years, I've had 3 flats on my tow. Each time I was saved by my TPMS except for when I first got my LA and was using chassis TPMS because I had not gotten around to installing my EEZ yet. Thank goodness for the good people of Arkansas who waved me down. I was lucky not to ruin the rim on...

    Question The one thing what worries me is a Flat tire.

    ...around. A bottle jack is another way but make sure you have some wood blocks to give it a real solid footing. You absolutely need to have a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), especially with a single axle trailer. If you get a flat, you won't be able to feel it. Then you will be...

    FYI On a recent trip a Valve stem on the tow failed

    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?

    Great! Thank you for the info.

    Chassis comparison

    Unless they have changed this year, for that $11k upcharge for Spartan, you get an older version of the DEF head that has a higher failure rate. You also get an older version of the TPMS that has problems communicating with the sensors.

    TPMS Recommendation

    On the way down to the Keys the outer tire on each side duals TPMS sensor stopped broadcasting or the Spartan computer stopped receiving a signal!!?? here is one side failed, shortly later the other outside tire failed

    Several TPMS suppliers recommend using metal valve stems.

    Check your tires every travel day!

    ...to 80s in the afternoon has caused an Over Pressure alarm on a front tire. I’ll wait until morning and adjust cold pressure again before heading South. Adjusting the TPMS alarm threshold might help but not my preferred method. Notice this is more common when speed average creeps above 65 mph.

    Newmar King Aire fire

    ...I think the take away from this incident is to use your engine brake, keep your speed under control, monitor tire temps with a good TPMS, and pull over if needed to let things cool down. I had a time when heading east from a winter in AZ where I hit hot southern TX and had high pressure...

    Looking for a TPMS for Class A

    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...

    Question 2023 DS FL, adding TPMS to towed vehical

    I looked into adding factory tire pressure sensors to my Wrangler. I called Freightliner (FL) today and was told I would need to go to a FL service center, I asked do they work on Jeeps and she said no, she then provided the phone number to SpartanLync Technologies customer service...

    Nitrogen in tires

    Only one I know that likes extremes is Neal! And that ain't several times a day! Still freezing to warm tires, well maybe hot (standard TPMS) reading,create conditions where nitrogen would be beneficial.

    Tire pressures experience

    ...caused the rears to always be high on pressure and temp. I raised the rear to 95 psi, temp problem went away but still had high pressure because TPMS set at 85. Recent trip to Spartan, had them reset the rear TPMS to 95 and my problems went away. When I can I will get a 4 corner weight and go...

    Tire pressure

    ...issues. A year or so later, traveling solo to NYC, the Towed suffered a similar fate but on a standard new rubber valve stem. Luckily the TPMS alerted me to the low Towed tire and I was able to get it repaired. Immediately changed the rubber stems for metal valve stems used on competition...

    TPMS Recommendation

    ...save me from a catastrophe one time, when the aux brake locked up for some unknown reason, without giving any indication in the cockpit. The TPMS heat-alarmed on the tires, saving me a brake job and probably a wreck. So I can recommend using TPMS, but not necessarily EEZtire, although I...
