Where did you find that price? On TST website 507 flow-through base unit with 4 sensors is $259 and 2 yr warranty. Additional 1 yr warranty is $50, 2 additional sensors $100. Total $409.

Really considering this system as it has a better price. ALL of these systems are made by the same China manufacturer. The only difference in them is the packaging and price.

The only drawback I see is they don't offer a flow-through sensor that I desperately want for inner tires on dually. Those tires are very difficult to access and was going to use flow-through as a pseudo valve stem extender. The alternative would be to have tires remounted with a longer curved stem that is accessible. The less expensive price though would probably pay for the remounting. I just don't want to use an extender + sensor as it creates too many areas for air leakage. I'm already planning on having these cheap Chinese tires on TT replaced with better grade and metal curved stems.

What a money pit! lol I've learned a valuable lesson though. I'll add metal valve stems to my PDI list for my next purchase. Can't believe FR, dealership would put on cheap tires AND rubber valve stems... a disaster waiting to happen.

You can get extended length metal valve stems for you dually so you don't have to use extenders.

I just sent old coot some metal valve stems for his trailer!

Thanks for the suggestion.

Just checked out Great RV Products . Great prices for the system. Better than Camping World and not as limited in choices. Camping World only seems to offer the outdated 510 and the 507 Flow-Through. I don't have any need for either as 510 is not practical (non-replaceable batteries) and can't use 507 Flow-Through.

What I need: TST 507 + 507 Flow Through Additional Sensors (2) - Great RV Products . Total: 399 + 100=$499

Probably the best long-term plan to go with extended metal valve stems rather than extenders. Thanks for the suggestion.

TireTracker 10 sensor price: $429 + remounting of inner dually (~$50)=$479.
https://www.tiretraker.com/proddetai...prod=TT400C-10 .

Comparison of TST 507 via Great RV Products and TireTraker essentially the same cost. $479 vs $499.

Thanks turbs. Yes, I was out in one of the rains putting mine on. (Only time my wife would sit still inside.) No trouble so far. Had one stop sending on the way home and monitored notified me. I took battery out, cleaned it, and reinstalled. Back up and running. Only complaint is the time delay for first reading.
Forgot about registering. Will do that now. Thanks again.

Don't know how they do this, I've never bought from them but this price for trailer TST looks pretty good. I was going to order these until I saw Tire Traker at the Goshen Rally.

Hello RN......I took my F350 dually to tire barn and they rotated the outside rear tires (stem) about 180 from the inside tire. The inside tire stem is not exactly centered to the outside rim hole but very close. It allowed me to easily install the EEZtire T515 sensors to both dually wheels. If access to the stems ever become an issue. ....I will have new longer valve stem installed to replace the originals. But I like the install.....it worked out.

At a Ford dealership in SD right now to get coolant pH checked. Talked to their tire guy...wasn't familiar with a long valve stem, only extensions. Think I'll check with a tire store as they are more familiar with after market supplies. The saga continues...this is much more difficult than it should be. I would think this is a common issue that has been addressed by Ford and others.

Lol I just had a DUH moment.
Is you truck new enough to already have factory installed tpms?

If so that may be an issue.
1) they'll have to remove all the truck tpms sensors , problem is your tpms light will be on then.
I know they can shut it off but "will they"?

2013 Ford Dually isn't available with factory installed TPMS, only the SRW is. I'd remove it if it was there as I've heard there are issues with it.

Looking to find some Borg dually valve stems. They seem to be recommended on a lot of RV sites. Thanks

Didn't mean to hijack thread! Sorry OP.

I don't know about Dodge and Ford but Silverado 1 ton trucks do not come with TPMS. A 3/4 ton does. When I first got my 12 silverado I looked for a day or two until I found out the TPMS was not on 1 ton pickups
