Agree with both points. My CR-V has 103k miles on it, all of which are with the TPMS sensors attached. The 2014 CR-V has a horrible OEM TPMS system so I use an after-market one all the time just so I can get accurate tire pressures.
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...
...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...
Always use metal valve stems with TPMS. My previous MH cam with plastic valve stem extenders fir the duallies. one cracked and leaked before I even got to install the TPMS.
I recommend looking at
Tire Safety and TPMS | Tire Pressure Monitors | TechnoRV.
They seem to have good pricing and I have used their Tech support, called for Info, a couple of times with great results.
So much to learn. Back in Dec our tire sensors started malfunctioning. Bought all new and 4 more for a Jeep I had yet to purchase. Everything was installed into our 2016 King Aire and 2018 Wrangler (toad). I stupidly thought that I could just sit and program these back into my coach. Turns out...
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...
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...
Renee,
I’m about to order a new EEZ Tire setup to replace our old TST. Did you go with the flow thru sensors or the regular cap type? I wonder which to go with.
All the best,
Charlie & Ronni
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’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.
I have a new 2022 Newmar Dutch Star 4369. First trip abandoned after experiencing TPMS warnings of 178 and 180 for the inside rear tires. I checked the forums, which suggested faulty readings on the TPMS, but the smell of burning rubber has me thinking the TPMS was accurate. I am stunned the...
