Tire Pressure Monitors

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if many of you use a tire pressure monitoring system on your TV. My old Avalanche had it included in the truck but I now have a 2014 Expedition that does not give you an actual air pressure for each tire. Just some sort of an alert if there is a problem. I have a Truck System Technologies system for the TT that works really well. I guess my question is, if I put those monitors on the stem of the truck tires, will that effect the "built-in" monitoring already on the truck? While towing it is nice to know the temps and pressure while running down the road, but I don't want to mess up the internal system and take the monitors on and off each time we go camping.


Thanks!

    Deano, I think you will be fine. Try taking a sensor or 2 off the TT and put on the tow vehicle to try and to be sure it does not interfere before buying more, but I doubt it will interfere. :)


    I agree, however having them on the TV is probably not as necessary as you would likely feel it if a tire was going flat on the TV as you would feel it, while no so on the trailer.

    As a long-term solution, I'd consider the internally mounted transmitters from TST. The unknown (which maybe someone else can weigh in on) is whether you can disable Ford's and keep the tire alert light in the dash from being lit constantly.
