Tpms sensor leak
Started my truck yesterday and a low tire warning came up. Outside rear wheel on right side of my dually said 41 lbs. Pressure. Sure enough when I checked it that's what it measured. Thought I ran over something. Went to get it fixed and tire guy came back and said the sensor was leaking where the rubber meet the metal. He showed me the part. He's seen several. He put an all rubber replacement on. Cost of $26 total.
I called the dealer she I bought the truck. She checked with service and said it hardly ever happens. She said in the future to come to Ford as it is under warranty. The tire guy did all six sensors will eventually fail. A pain in the butt to go 1 by 1 to Ford dealer.
Haven't I seen a similar report here somewhere? The tire sensor going out?

Yes. The aluminum rims corrode because of the steel stem. Be sure and spray your rubber valves to make sure they are not leaking. Sometimes the rim is so corroded the rubber can’t seal. Then you need new rims like me. Unfortunately they are on backorder because this is a widespread problem.

One of mine was starting to leak real bad. Dealer giving me the run around. Parts on back order.
Went to Discount Tire today, they replaced the stem with an aluminum one. TPMS working fine, no more leak.
NO CHARGE!
Will get the others done when I get new tires in the fall.

Do you know what the part # is? This is a common problem. At least 400 posts on this forum alone.

I wonder what has changed.
Ford has used the same size dually wheels for years.
Different manufacture of wheels?
But the wheels are made to the same print I would think.
Was it the addition of the TPMS sensors?
Aluminum change?
If the inner and outer wheels are doing the same thing, then it has to be the TPMS sensors since the inner is steel and the outer is Aluminum.
