Does anyone else use the Tire Sentry tire pressure monitoring system by Fleet Specialties? If so, have you had any problems with it? Mine is weird as to whether or not it wants to power up. I have tried to contact the vendor but their website has been disabled. If anyone has any information on this vendor or product I would greatly appreciate any input.

I bought a slightly used TireMinder 4 sender system on eBay. Then I bought two new senders, for my trailer, at Camping World.

or maybe this??

>>>>> These Tire Pressure Monitoring systems are designed for Trucks, RVs & Industrial/Mining applications, the system can monitor both tire pressures and temperatures along with their towed vehicle or trailer if needed, the system is also ideal for travel trailers, fifth wheels, enclosed and flatbed trailers. Large trucks and industrial equipment can also benefit from these totally wireless systems. Integrates with our Yard Master hand held TPMS tool.

The TALON can handle up to 22 wheels & the TALON X-TREME up to 38 wheels.

There is no need to add wiring and antennas like other systems.

There are no troublesome baseline pressures to set that change when adding air

No preset pressure and temperature alarms, set your own as needed for your vehicle

There is no need to return dead sensors to the manufacturer like some systems

No need to use awkward tools to install sensors

Choose either cap or feedthru sensors, both have replaceable sensor batteries rated for minus 40

Probably one of the easiest systems on the market for installation and operation.

The system comes with a monitor that can handle up to 22 wheels up to 180 psi (TALON) and up to 38 wheels up to 180 psi (TALON X_TREME) if needed and the sensors have replaceable batteries meaning the system will never become obsolete so long as the common generic CR1632 cell battery is available.

The TALON systems offers a method of also dropping the towed vehicle or trailer and then picking it back up again when connected simply by the press of a button. The monitor scrolls automatically through each wheel measuring tire pressure and temperature whilst displaying information on the monitor. Alarms can be preset by the operator so visible and audible alarms can warn the driver of pending deflations, over pressures and high temperatures etc. The alarms and monitoring are sent wirelessly real time to the cab allowing the operator to monitor tires that are out of their vision and react accordingly . These systems have wheel sensors with extra power to reach monitor to sensor distances of up to 45-55 feet. Signal boosters for longer range are also available.

Because the TALON and X-TREME systems monitors have their own rechargeable battery pack the monitor can be used as a handheld wireless tire pressure gauge when the operator walks around their vehicle and trailer to adjust the tire pressures. Sensor locks and a monitor hard wire cable, two monitor mounts are also included in the base systems at no extra cost.

There is a company called RightPSI. They are coming on the market with a pressure indicating valve cap.

The RightPSI do look good but there are a few problems. They have none for pressures above 40 psi and my tires are filled to 100 psi. Also due to the way the stems are on the rear outer tires two of the sensor would be pointing inward and not be visible.

My local NAPA carries valve caps in the 95 to at least 105 psi range - green if pressure is OK, red if not. Very small and compact.
