Is anyone aware of an internal TPMS Solution Compatible with RAM Factory System?

[BryanValRox]

Well, talk about a big disappointment. I ordered the RAM Trailer TPMS monitor system with my 2024 Ram. The sensors come package loose when the truck is shipped from the factory. So, I knew I had to install them into the trailer wheels. Well today was the day to test fit one! What a disaster to say the least. While the sensors come with 1/2 and 5/8 rim hole hardware, the sensor valve stem threads are not nearly long enough to properly install the nut on the outside to hold it in place. The instructions call out about a max of 6mm rim thickness and the wheels on my 310 RL are about 9mm. So the 5/8 hardware was a step in the right direction for the 310RL wheels but, the thread length on the stem was the deal breaker. Of course, the only way I could figure all of this out, was to remove the wheel from the trailer, break the tire bead, remove the old stem and test fit the factory supplied sensor. Needless to say this took some effort and produced no reward!
So, I had to reinstall the original stem and reseat the bead etc.
Hopefully, this post might prevent others from experiencing the disappointment and wasting a lot of money on the factory option that won't work on our Alliance wheels.

My question is this, is anyone aware of a compatible internally mounted TPMS that will work with the RAM System and @9 MM thick wheels and5/8 hole?

Perhaps THIS will help? Not sure.

Also, when I had to install my OEM TPMS sensors for my 2022 F350 in my trailer tires, I took it to Belle Tire .. they did it for free as a courtesy ... just asked that I keep them in mind for tires in the future ... I definitely will.

I had a tire shop install my OEM TTPMS sensors in the wheels on my Paradigm and they didn't indicate any issues or charge any extra. Doesn't mean they didn't have to do anything special and just didn't say anything. I have a 2021 Ram, so may not be apples to apples. I didn't bother pulling them out of the trailer when I traded it, though. New one came with them and would not have had enough anyway.

Paul, thanks for the link, I was aware of this site.
Always appreciate your input.
I am planning on calling Schrader (sensor manufacturer) when I get some free time, to see if they offer different stem options for their sensors.

Darrell, appreciate the feedback!
Did your Ram come with the trailer sensors or did you just request that they provide a set to be installed? Just curious!

These were the OEM trailer sensors that came with my truck. 4 total. They worked fine from that trailer, at least as good as my current one does (TST with the bands inside - not the stem caps).

Did you find a solution? We removed the TPMS sensors that came with our 2020 Chevy 2500 Silverado from our previous Flagstaff and went to our local tire store to have them installed on the Alliance Paradigm 310RL, but also found out that they won't work (same reason as yours). We called a local RV parts/service store and they haven't gotten back to us yet with a solution.

Well, I had spoken to the owner of this company and he has indicated that he would be totally surprised if his solution didn’t work. He took and returned personal phone calls, so he diffidently instilled confidence .
He indicated that his solution had slight longer thread length and shouldn’t be a problem. He also said, I will take returns if it won’t work out. Here is the company link.

I haven’t gotten around to giving his product a try as, I just pulled my wheel and had them balanced for our eclipse trip to Indy. At this point, I will likely delay this task till the end of the season to see if his solution will work out.
If you decided to give him a try let me know how you make out.

I bought the RAM trailer TPMS kit as part of the truck purchase as well.
I had the same problem you did — and more. My solution for the thread length problem was to modify the nut by removing the unthreaded portion. See attached photo.
The unresolved problem I have is the left rear sensor dropping out and not reconnecting. When we get home from this trip I'm going to swap the two left wheels and see if it the same sensor is the problem or the location of it.

I'm not complaining Bryan — thank you for the link — just helping others.

Geo, thanks for sharing your solution of trimming the non threaded area of the nut back. Certainly seems to be an easy solution to address the problem. Appreciate you sharing it!
