You might try NIRVC in Vegas. It's not that far from from you.

I leave in one week for Spartan Owners Academy. Part of that visit is service. My Valor TPMS system has never been 100%. I have had my local dealer who I purchased from look at, I have had NIRVC Nashville work on it and both told me it was going to need to be serviced by the factory!!! I am hopping I can get that accomplished. BTW, Right front, Right Tag, and sometimes left outer drive have never worked. The idea of adding a second antenna/receiver makes a lot seance to me.
The disappointing thing is the TST system I use to monitor my toad has never failed me. I paid all of $250 for that.

The Spartan techs are really good on this issue. They got mine working great last October. Then I picked up a large “bolt” in the driver side inside tire on the way back to FL. That tire was replaced in early December. Next trip was this spring back to northern MI. The outside driver side tire read only occasionally. Returning to Spartan in the fall and will include this in my annual service. Very confident Spartan will fix it again.

From day one I had nothing but problems with mine Valor TPMS. They moved the antennas and added a antenna, nothing worked. They actually reimburse me for a TST system till they could figure this out. Last October Gaffney put in a Generation 3 Valor TPMS in and I happy to report that in 5500 miles it has worked perfectly.

I gave Eddie the information on this and they were going to look into it. If they have already done one, that should help a lot!

Thanks.

I had it into Lewisville and Ally is my service writer. They ordered a 2nd transmitter, installed snd so far works great.

All has been good since then.

Same with me.

On our 22 DS4369 the TPMS has performed flawlessly. My understanding is that we have the Gen3 system.

Mine too. You must be on a freightliner chassis. Spartan stayed with gen 1.

3 tries so far to fix on my 2020 DS4081 on Freightliner. Twice to Freightliner service, completely useless, resolved nothing. Once to local shop, believe they installed new antenna towards rear. Worked great for 200 miles, now very intermittent. Original symptoms were dropping out, false high pressure, false high temp, alarms when all good, etc. Seemed to affect all tires at various times. A real mess.

Same here on our 2020 DS4328. Newmar tried twice, 3 different Freightliner shops all have tried to fix. Never worked since the day we picked up the coach at Newmar. Finally surrendered and bought Eez tire TPMS at the FMCA rally in Arizona in March. Now we have accurate readings on coach and toad!!

I have a 2022 DS 3736 with the Gen 3 sensors. When I took delivery the right front was not working. On my last trip I got a low pressure alarm showing 36lbs on left rear inside. After finding a place to safely pull off, a check of the pressure showed that it was at the correct pressure.

I have an appointment the week after next to have it checked by Sacramento Truck Center. I’ll report on what I learn.

Recently bought a 2016 Essex and the Valor TPMS didn't work. Took it to Gaffney Freightliner and the tech told me he could get it working, but it would die again 200 miles down the road. I asked him to disconnect the flashing low tire pressure light on the dash and that I'd find a separate TPMS system. Amazing to me that Valor isn't stepping up to fix this long term problem...

On my 021 Dutch Star 4369 they have a mind of their own. Supposedly the new software update will fix my issue. Anyway, I also purchase a TST 507RV with 12 transmitters / coach and toad. This way I am covered.

2020 DS on Freightliner chassis, the TPMS has not worked correctly since the coach was new. They worked on it at the mother ship to no avail, have had Freightliner work on it twice to no avail. Just had the Daimler recall programming change installed, still doesn't work correctly. Constantly getting over pressure and Hi temp spurious alarms. How do I know they are spurious, other tires with the same amount of air reading exactly the same pressure and temps with no alarms, go figure. I need a system that I can rely on! The next visit to Freightliner I am asking to have the system disabled due to its reliability.
