Sounds like a sensible plan.

Just left the National rally at Myrtle Beach. I can't thank Mike enough for solving my issue with the inside duals not reading. He climbed under my bus with a broken hand I might add, solved the issue and thanked me as he drove away. Great company!!

I'm only running with four of mine right now. Short of removing tires any ideas on installing the monitors on stem.

I use a 180 degree valve stem extender which works well for my flow through sensors.

Clay what did Mike do to solve your problem with the inside duals? It might help someone else with the same problem. :thumb

The issue with our inside duals= the sensors would not read with the original Spartan valve extensions, I was directed to another type of extenders, they also did not work. Mike simply removed the valve extenders on the inside duals, their was ample room to attach the flow thru 507's and with my Milton air chuck I can inflate thru the outside dual rim. They work perfectly and the only hassle is taking off the valve cover to inflate but it's very doable. Hope this helps as most inside duals with 22.5 size tires will accommodate this installation.

Clay thanks for the information, I have the 507 flow thru and the same problem with my inside duals, I will see if it works on mine.

The inner duals seem to be a major problem for a lot of us and I had the same issues of not registering pressures. My issue was the Freightliner Haltech stems where the valve core was on the low end of tolerance and had to be replaced because they didn't make proper contact.

Replaced the cores and the 507's have worked since.

My latest issue is that the inners read 5 psi higher than the outer. Could it relate to the outer aluminum wheels vs. the inner steel wheels?

Just traveled from Brigham City UT to Portland OR with my new Maxxis M8008 tires and new TST internal sensors on my 40ft 5th wheel, repeater installed in front cabinet and had a wonderful and safe trip. Very much unlike my trip from Portland to Brigham City where I had 3 tires go bad on me. Was able to monitor my RV tires all the way back and felt safe. Thanks Dan, Mike and the rest at TST.

I have had the 510 system for several years and I have been very happy with the system. I have had to replace some sensors but I believe that is normal for the time. I purchased a couple of rebuilt sensors and one needs the little O-ring replaced. I have never had to change one. I have some spares that Dan gave me when I purchased my system. If anyone has changed an O-ring how do you get the old one out? I was thinking of a small screw driver or a crochet hook. Thanks in advance for your reply;

Maybe some valve extensions that brings both stems back to the hub?
Thanks

I am a convert and staunch supporter of TPMS regardless of brands. We put a system on at the dealers. Within 4,000 miles we picked up a nail in the tag. We would have ruined a tire except for the losing air warning of the TPMS. We were able to get divert to a local town where we had the tire repaired. Without the system warning we would have driven another 500 miles before stopping for the night.

mike brez,
The stems are rotatable 360d if needed--perhaps that would position the stem where you can install the sensor? That is what I did with the outers on my 450--inners I have a 4" fiberglass extension that is working very well.
Just realized you have a MH? Maybe the stems don't rotate, don't know.
