Those are wireless. They last about 5 years if you are lucky. One might be getting low on battery or need to be replaced.

That's what I am thinking. A battery is probably getting weak in at least one if them. They are still original to the truck.

I hate them, but there really is no way around them anymore. Its a real pain if you swap tires because the tpms is part of the valve system.

Yeah on my truck they are part of the valve stems. It sucks.

Im thinking about building a set of rock sliders. I took a nasty hit to one of the side steps last time I went wheeling.

Morning Virginia, Tim, Devin, Shaun, Pat, Charlie, and all.

!@#$%^ Tire pressure monitoring system. Just another expensive device the feds said we had to have for "our own good". Tire gauges aren't that expensive and it's not hard to check the air pressure in the tires........................unless you're ignorant or too lazy.

Yup, it was mostly because of the Explorer Firestone tire fiasco.

Tired. Wife snored all night, I was contemplating homicide around 2:45! I might have gotten 3 hours of sleep. Luckily, I have a whole month to get things done, so today will be unproductive! We might be in for some white crap over the next few days.

Yuck, I hate those nights. That or the late night parties at a neighbors house or a barking dog.

Snow must be on the way to Maryland. It left here this morning.
