Hi all, I have an 05 F350 which I will be towing my 24ft toy hauler (double axle)and want to install an aftermarket TPMS kit to monitor tires on my truck and trailer. Anyone try'd any of these? Which kit will not have trouble communicating with the sensors on my trailer?
Thanks and I hope everyone is doing ok and being safe!
When I went on a search for TPMS , TST seemed to be the brand to buy , which I did. Lots of brands, some cheaper then others, but I think TST is as good as any, but not the cheapest.
I caught the TST on sale, and was pretty reasonable. They have changed their design on their non flow thru sensors since I bought. The flow thru are the same, but the non flow thru are designed to use with the lock down nut behind them ,same as the flow thru. But the non flow thru spin ,so they can't easily be removed once they are locked down from behind. Regardless its just a deterrent . I personally prefer the non flow thru, less bulky. Removing them is not much different then removing a valve cap.
The nice thing about TPMS ,no need to have to check air pressure. The monitor tells you that. I usually turn the repeater on, and the monitor when I am in the process of hooking up. At a glance I know if the tires are okay. The one thing I did if you chose a system with the repeater like TST come with, I mounted it in the battery compartment of my fifth wheel, but put it on a shutoff switch ,so I can shut it off. They run on the 12 volt system on the fifth wheel or trailer.
