tst 507
Im thinking about getting a tst507 how well do they work? I nothing about them we tow a ford ranger
I have the TST 507 system. I use it on the truck and the camper. My 2005 F350 is old enough that it does not have TPM installed as OEM.
I fully agree that you want metal valve stems. The rubber stems can fatigue from the sensor being on the all rubber stem.
As for loosing signal, years ago this was reported as an issue and to solve it on long distances, a repeater/signal booster was to be installed. I am on my 2nd TST system, the first system, the repeater was an extra add on device. On the last new color display system I bought, the repeater came standard with the kit. Point being, you may want/need the signal booster pending distance.
We have a 32 ft TT (aluminum sided) with a crew cab, 6 1/2' bed F350 and I have never lost signal, but I do have the repeater wired in, installed in the camper front cargo hole of the camper.
I really like the TST system.
Hope this helps
