I agree Milwaukee tools are the best to have on hand at all times and one 24" braker bar, 24" ratchet, never leave home without.

Cordless impacts are awesome. One problem, they wreak havoc on these lug nuts that have the outside casing. Most of the time splitting them.
I use a 24 inch breaker bar to try to help minimize the damage.

Very good point. And it reminded me that I need to order my Gorilla Lug Nuts. Two piece lug nuts are never a problem, until they are, which invaribly happens in the rain, far from home, at night, on a two lane road.

No. My RAM has it bulit in.

My '24 Ram also came with trailer TPMS. It has been a PITA from day one. It works about 75% of the time.
EVERY time I hookup I have to go through the menu to select another trailer and then re-select the fifth wheel before it will start picking up the sensors.
One particular sensor drops out about half the time when it does work. It may or may not come back. It was on the rear axle so I switched to the front axle and it still drops out.
Another problem with the Ram OEM TTPMS is that the valve stems are super long. I ruined one when the tire was not inflated and dropped on its face. No way you could use the flow through sensors on them. I have shorter ones and plan to swap out when I get new rubber.
Because of these issues I purchased theTire Minder Smart TPMS. Its display is my iPhone and also displays on CarPlay. It has worked flawlessly and also displays the tire temperature.
To answer OP's question – I wired it to a basement light and screwed it to the basement roof.
