Another TPMS good news story

On this weekend's camping trip, my less-than-one-year-old Tire Pressure Management System (TPMS) alarm went off when I moved the truck on Sunday morning - the right rear tire of the TV was at 36 PSI. Normal is 80 PSI for that tire.

It turned out to be a slow leak from a screw in the tire.

The pressure was fine Saturday afternoon (no alarm at least) when I used the truck to take the kayaks to and from the launch site at the campground. I must have picked up the screw then.

I was able to put the spare tire on the truck Sunday evening and then get the tire patched at a tire store on Monday (Memorial Day) before towing the TT home.

Without the TPMS, I would have probably discovered the low tire on Monday (today) as I hooked up the TT making for a more exciting day.

Depends on how many sensors you order. Ballpark is 250-300. I ordered mine from TST about 2 years ago and wouldn't want to be without it.

We find a TPMS to be a key safety device. Glad it helped your weekend go better.
