tire sensors

[tommyh]

I bit the bullet and I am trying those tire sensors that tell me the temp and air pressure in my tires.
so far so good,they are accurate to my surprise also.They show up on my eld app,no problems yet
and they come with weight sensors for the trailer and tractor.Happy so far

Have you checked the weights against a CAT scale weights?

you got pics, or a link to the site so i can fully "see" what they look like, how they mount, etc,etc..???

all our trailers have is the Hendrickson air inflation system, and that's all automatic for us...but no temp's for the tires..

it`s all quite,no noise,the alert is red letters on your eld app screen
I gauged my tires to where I wanted them,sprayed a little wd40 on the stem,screwed the locking nut on and then screwed the sensor on
I got around 500 miles on them so far
I asked the guy about the warrenty,he said if I lose one he will send me another one.
worth a try

Thinking of figuring out how to make a phone app for these and mount them on my air suspension.

Saw one system, but they want a monthly subscription.

I wish I knew how to make a app
30 a month for all my junk

One of those thangs I've done in the past. 8th grade started writing basic programs.

We had something similar to that. They failed after a while so we chucked 'em in the garbage. Well, the mechanics chucked the first one. I monkey see, monkey do'd the rest.

Costs a bit of money, but on my next truck I want the devices that mount to the wheels and regulate pressure while driving. They not only inflate. But they deflate as well to maintain proper temperature.

they are working good so far

We had those on some of our trailers. A year later and the tire wear was significantly less on the trailers with compared to those without.
