I bought the EEZRV Products TPMS system. Programming was a snap. Sensors are accurate. I had a couple questions and when I called EEZRV, I talked to one of the owners who told me to call anytime, including weekends if I had any further questions.

I tested the unit by removing a sensor and it sounded an alarm very quickly. I will report back later this year with how they hold up.

Packaging was quite nice:

The packaging, sensors, mount, and display unit look a lot like my TPMS Talon System.

Quite satisfied thus far. The display backlight stopped working after a few months. One e-mail and 15 days later (had to ship it back to Canada), new display in hand. No other problems thus far.

My TST 507 system is on order and should be here Friday. A friend of mine has used TST for several years and swears by it, so I took the plunge yesterday and ordered. Can't wait for it to get here.

I have not been very happy with my pressure pro system. Too many failures and spotty realiablity. If I had to do it over I would go with a different system.


Sorry you're having problems. My Pressure Pro system performed flawlessly for all the years I used it before health reasons forced me to sell my rig. One time I had a bearing heating the hub/rim up, (causing over-inflation due to excessive heat), and the Pressure Pro warned me in plenty of time The "factory" help was second to none as well if I ever had any questions.
My $.02 only.


Enjoy the journey......

I did'nt get to play with mine much after work yesterday, but I did get the front tire sensors installed. Enough to know I'm going to have problems getting them on and off on the rear duallys. And it was hard enough to get them on the fronts the way the rims are built. I had to cut one of the install tools to even get them on.
And I did'nt get the setting complete either. Just getting readings from whats there, so plenty to do yet.
The instruction could be a little better step by step. But I'll make it I think.
So now I'm looking for some kind of extensions for the duallys.
I did see on the way in this morning a pressure jump of almost 6lbs+/- in each front tire and temp. was real big.
What base line are you guys setting for top and bottom end for a dually truck?

The temp on the TST is pre-set at 157, leave that there, it will give plenty of warning should a heat issue arise. As far as low goes from 80 psi I would go to 70, as some cold mornings/nights the tire could drop that far even with 80 in it. High I would set 95 as it climbing 10 to 12psi is not out of the question when driving in the summer heat. Should either of the settings give alarms, reset to a few psi up or down to not give the warnings needlessly.

As in, if your running 80psi what high and what low are you using? And what temp?
Thanks for any help.

Installed and up and running. Took longer to charge the display than install did. Everything worked flawlessly. Haven't been on the road with it yet, but so far, so good. :-)
