Blue sky sea TS 610 TPMS install

Bought an inexpensive TPMS system and installed it today. There was not enough room for my fingers so I had to take off the hub cabs. They were on very tight. My old rv had a bolt that attached them. This one they just pry off.
At first I could not get the monitor to read any of the sensors. The instructions say do it again. So I took them off and reinstalled them. It turned out I had to remove all the tightening nuts they come with because it appears the sensors were not getting tight enough. I finally got readings on all of them and with a little study I was able to set the units to psi and Fahrenheit. I found two of my dualies were dangerously low. One was only 39 psi. I could hardly believe it. Getting the air compressor inside the wheels to inflate the tires was difficult. There is just one installed valve extender. I think I need more.
Once I finally got the tire inflation about right I will be able to mount the device on the dash. I’m just going to use the 3M tape provided though I know it won’t last. I’m reluctant put screws in the dash.

Readings
  • Looks complicated. There is one extender on already. Maybe the other leaked.
  • Valve extenders are notorious for leaking. You'd be better off to bite the bullet and have extended length valve stems installed.

    Just one source, there are several others including Amazon:
