On mine when it was brand new the plastic from sun UV had cracked & turned to almost like soda crackers & it leaked rain water. It was very easy to replace with a screwdriver. Other than that I have been pleased & have put 16,000 on it. Good luck & enjoy. Art

taoshum said:I just installed some extenders so that I could add air and check pressure without bashing my knuckles/fingers trying to get the valve stem cap off of the OEM valves.
BernieD said:If you had a good Tire Pressure Monitoring System you'd be able to do that without even having to take the caps off ;D
utahclaimjumper said:Taoshum, Your avatar and others like it allways creates a question in my mind, Have you been to all the states that are colored? or the ones that are white??>>>D
taoshum said:yes, yes... and then I'd get to deal with all the false positives, false negatives and 10 sensors that will fail from time to time as well as the display, the power supply for the display, the batteries for the sensors and the cables and the connectors and the LCD and the various circuit boards and so on, so on... plus the cost of 3-400$. I think I'll stick with the mechanical pressure gage, a trained visual inspection and a good thump on the sidewall from time to time. And, we are actually considering the power company's offer to run electricity to our house next year. LOL.

As I said, "if you had a good TPMS system", then you wouldn't have to worry about all of those issues By the way, tests have proven that an experienced trucker with a thumper cannot discern lower tire pressures (I'm not talking about flat or very low and I don't have a link to those tests). And none of your 3 checks work very well when you are driving down the highway where most blowouts occur. And it sure is nice to be able to check tire pressures when it is raining without getting wet ;D
I would rather have a TPMS that occasionally gives a false positive (usually due to pressure drops in cold weather) than none at all and suffer the consequences of a tire failure. I've not heard of any false negatives with the Pressure Pro and I do know of many incidents where it warned in sufficient to avoid a bad failure.
