Hi Jim - thanks for sharing this. I will be putting those on my Delta. Soon as I get time to take the wheels off and take them over to Discount Tire.TST offers a great solution. Just make sure you have steel valve vs rubber. The added weight from the sensor's require steel.
Here is a video I did for the internal version from TST. I liked this option for our DRW, as getting to the valve on the inside tire is hard enough...add a sensor and it is next to impossible to access the valve to add air.
I had the same experience happen to me driving down I-5 in Sacramento during rush hour.The reason I bought a tire pressure monitor was I was pulling my trailer on the interstate and someone pulled up beside me waving like a crazy person letting me know my rear passenger tire had blown out and I didn’t know it.
Aside from pulling a short narrow trailer with a dually, if you cannot see your tires with your mirrors, I would suggest adjusting them to where you can. It is easier on trucks like mine with 2 sets of mirrors on each side. You still may not catch everything, but I do this with or without TPMS on a trailer. If I have not done it in a little while, I steer side to side within my lane on a highway to catch a better view. But I agree that TPMS might alert you quicker than that, and hopefully before your tire is shredded and your wheel wells are destroyed lol.The reason I bought a tire pressure monitor was I was pulling my trailer on the interstate and someone pulled up beside me waving like a crazy person letting me know my rear passenger tire had blown out and I didn’t know it.
Which ones did you spring for?Just got mine in today and now need a trailer to attach them too. Will pick up my new trailer early May. Thanks for all the responses.
