TPMS and Tire rotation
Okay everyone with TPMS systems - what is the general consensus when rotating dually tires? Do you keep the sensor with the tire or keep the sensor in the position it is programmed?

Keep the sensor in the position where it is programmed. Don't move it with the tire.

My TST allows me to reprogram the sensor location if you don't have to pull it.
But yes best to have the sensor keyed to the appropriate position.

We have the Pressure Pro System it can be programed but I just leave the Sensor in the same position . I don't rotate tires on the rear of the dually, I do cross the fronts... my rears seems to wear very even. Happy Trails...

Anything from 2008 on up should have a factory TPMS right? Are you saying you don't use the factory system or am I missing something here?

While I'm asking questions let ask another. When checking your tires with a tire gauge do you loose some pressure in the tire removing the senders and putting them back on?

My valve stems are too short for me to get my sensors on, so I only have them on my Monty. What stems do you use?
Mike, it seems that only 3/4 tons have the built in TPMS, at least its that way on the Dodge. My 3500 doesn't have it built in.

We have a 2007 Classic which is basically a 2006 with a newer date tag. We purposefully wanted the Classic so that we could burn the high sulfur diesel in Mexico.
Our truck does not have a built-in TPMS. With our recent problems with new trailer tires separating, including one blow-out, we decided to go with TST's TPMS.
The stems on our GMC were replaced with steel stems (in my experience, steel seems to hold up better than the OEM). Our trailer has ALCOA rims with steel valve stems.
I wanted to get some tried and true information from those that have these TPMS's so that I don't reinvent the wheel.

I keep the sensors in the same position, just easier.
I have the factory installed TPMS, but it is not as specific as the Pressure Pro. It only tells me that there is a problem, but not which tire. The pressure pro alerts me on which tire is low and gives me a pressure reading on all RV and TV tires.
The 2008 F350 was a dually and it was difficult to get the sensors on those stems. Had to lay on my back and finagle with my fingers, exercising much patience.
I found that my monitors were trustworthy, so , no, I didn't loose air when checking because the monitor....monitored. However if I was checking because I was bringing the tire up to pressure, then I over filled them slightly to compensate for losses from gauging. I is easy to let out a little.
