Makes me wonder if there is an issue with your monitor since Mike said the monitor should "look" for a sensor for about an hour. Yours took nearly TWO hours.
You lost a tire on a trip? Like, it fell completely off?? Did your TPMS catch that right away or not?
Btw, do you use a repeater/booster?
I bought my system last year(flow thru) and with the first trip out, 80 miles from home tire blew and monitor sounded, although we knew the tire blew even if we had not have the system. Because it was the first, I was watching the monitor closely. The tire exploded, was no heat buildup and no loss of air before. The monitor was working fine as I was watching temperature changes.
On the way back, I notice readings stayed the same. Someone at TST said to use a repeater which I bought and everything has been fine since.
The tire thumpers can keep on thumping.
I like the system.
