I'll check the door when I get off o' work. I just re-read my owners man, and realized that I may have a sensor on the spare. Need to check it out too. Let you know asap... Lou

I looked at the sticker on the door, and to my surprise it said 40#. So, I added air and the alarm cleared/ reset. 
It turns out the I was not 2# low on 3 tires, but 7#. I went to check the pressure on my spare, but it appears that there may have been a flat before I bought the truck, because whomever put the spare back on, put it on upside down, so I will have to turn it over to access the valve. Have a good evening..

1...anyone who says they can tell the difference between 29 and 35 visually is full of crap....
2.... your spare doesn't have one
3....your spares supposed to be mounted like that....valve stem up.....a good double sided pressure gauge will work wonders for ya...
4....tpms is crap to almost all the same people who think auto tranny's are junk, manual hubs are the only way to go, rubber floors are all there should be......and all this new fangled power crap is a waste of money...........to the rest of us tpms is as good of a system as seat belts and airbags.....

Who said they could visually tell the difference between 29 & 35? Do you use a pressure gauge to check the pressure every time you get in your vehicle as recommended?
How do you know my spare doesnt have one? Why is it listed in the manual if it is an impossibility? Is it just in case they accidentlly put one in?
I will look again to see if I can see the valve through the wholes in the spare. The holes are pretty small though. Will I be able to reach over the tire to remove the cap and check the pressure through the holws in the wheel?
