Another Bullet Dodged

[rames14]

As I was hooking up the truck, one of my tire sensors showed 6 psi. Tire looked fine. Put a new battery in sensor, same result. Took the sensor off and checked with the tire gage. No air. So, threw the air compressor in the Polaris and aired up the tire. Tire held air, no leak found. The fact that the level up system had weight off kept the tire from "looking" flat. So, once again my TPMS system kept me from doing something stupid. The only thing I can think might have happened is pressure washing the tires moved the sensor enough to lose air over several days. 24 hours and no change in pressure.

Dodged a bullet because you paid attention to detail. Good catch!

Might be a good idea to have the tire removed from the wheel and either change the valve stem or just tighten it up. I've had to do that to a couple of ours since upgrading to G614's.

Good catch! I had a sensor that developed a very slow leak and had to change it out.

Heck Ron, you still had three other tires on that rig what's the problem?

Rondo, with all the heat in Nebraska, the tire would have stayed up on its own. But, mountain passes and 30's don't mix with 3 wheeled fifth wheels.
