Tow truck tire pressure monitoring.

Previous truck was a GM 2500 SRW, latest is 3500 DRW. The GM DRW trucks don't have tire pressure monitoring, I am informed Ram do, Ford don't.

So has anyone installed pressure monitoring to a DRW that didn't come that way from the manufacturer? I am informed by a Discount Tire manager that the external sensors on a DRW makes adjusting pressure a pain and can require removal of the wheels.

If this is feasible, then it becomes attractive to have a monitor that will advise pressures of the trucks six tires and the trailers four. I know monitors are available for 10 tires.

Ford does have TPS and has the ability to add your trailer

My RAM 3500 Dually has the tire Pressure Monitoring System built in. It works Perfect. Just had new Michelin Tires put on and I sat there and watched the dashboard as they aired the tires. Right on target!

I have the TST System with senors on all ten tires. Just added air to those inside duals is a real PITA.
