New Tires and Low Tire Pressure Error
#16
Took the truck into the dealership. Had to convince them to run the reset tool over the tires for me. The service guy put the truck in "learn" mode then ran the reset tool over each tire. The error went away and so far (knock on wood) the error has not come back. An interesting point that he broght up as to why the error was getting thrown was that as the tires warm up, it goes past the allowable amount of the TPMS. In other words, I was running my Nitto Trail Grapplers at 45 PSI. As they warmed up, the PSI was getting close to 50. i guess the TPMS doesnt like it. After the reset, I dropped the PSI down to 38.
Besides which, the recommended pressure for my truck with LR C tires is 45. Other vehicles, especially those with the 8200lb GVW come with LR E tires, which would have a higher pressure. That isn't your problem.

There is now stem type sensors compatible with the 07,08 MY trucks and will replace the band type sensors if wanted. They are producing them with the correct frequency for the earlier models : http://revolutionsupply.com/%28S%28j...TPMSIndex.aspx
Have you or anyone else used these? I need a set for my '07 Lariat. I'm putting on bigger wheels and tires in the spring. Thanks.

In that case, new ones make sense. You will also need a training tool for when you swap back and forth. Those you can get at the dealer fro about $25.

In all honesty, I have not used these yet I have a set in a box here waiting to put into new wheels for summer tires soon. I have been on the phone with Revolution Supply and have been assured that the new stem sensors will be a direct replacement for the earlier band type ones. I will know soon enough though.

Just bought a set. Hope they work...I'll know at the end of the month.
