Title: TPMS
Post by: Craig on February 24, 2022, 01:27:32 pm
I have read that the valve extenders LTV puts on the duals cannot support the weight of an on valve stem TPMS transmitter. Has anyone replaced these? Ideas? Thanks

Do not use theirs as I did and I cracked. 

BORG Equipment & Supply Corp. Inc. - Automotive Equipment & Supplies (https://yourtireshopsupply.com/manufacturer/38/borg-equipment)
 
Call them and they will tell you the exact model you need. About $50 i think but well worth it.  Don't get any other brand these are the best.  Put your jack stand all up. Take off the tires and bring into shop. I did not balance them after but up to you.

All,

Newbie here.  Just bought a Unity TB a month ago.  Spent a lot of time going through it, learning the systems and all that.  Then I looked at the rear wheels.  There is clearly a metal valve stem extender coming from the inside tire, but I cannot find a stem for the outer tire.  How strange is that?  First vehicle with dual rear wheels.

Get rid if the stems you have on ALL tires and call Borg or Google that and you will find what you need.

Like Borg Valve Stems Leisure Travel Van.

Thanks Todd.  Do you know which part number?  I see some for Alcoa wheels: Part TR545D with 60 degree bend for 9.7 mm rim hole.  I guess I can just order something and take them with me to a tire place.  Just need to get the right ones.

Give them a call and they will yell you exactly which one. Just make sure they put some lock tight on when they put them on.

I have a 2019 Wonder MB and have been using the Eezrvproducts tpms system on the original stems since purchased in March of 2019. I have driven 21,000 miles and have had no issues. Highly recommend the system!

Your original stems may last for 100 years and you get lucky. Mine and many others lasted 1 month and then a flat. Not worth the chance of breaking them and being stranded just to see if they make it just to save $80.

When mine broke it cost me a tow, a whole days stuck waiting for a new stem and about $900 not to mention beating myself up 100 times for trying to save $80. O would not spend a lot of money on the TPMS as they all do the same thing. I think mine was $125 and it has a solar charger onto so no cords.

I don’t have valve extenders on my wheels just steel stems. My TPMS has a rechargeable lithium battery, 60 hrs. of use on a charge, no wires unless you want to hard wire (wiring included). What TPMS system are you using, if you don’t mind me asking?

I don't have mine i front of me but they are plentiful.  Less than $150. Don't get anything phone app based either. They are a pain in the A.... it is also nice seeing pressure when you want a FYI. If you pay more than $150 it is a waste of money in my opinion. They all do the same thing.
