Adding a TPMS to the M35

[yolner]

So I just discovered that they now sell wireless tire pressure and temp monitoring systems that you can use on any vehicle. They just stick on your dash like a GPS. I had no idea this even existed. Going to get one for my ranger and then maybe a nicer one for the M35. Anyone already have one installed?

This is the one I was looking at:

Never seen one on a duece,but the trucking company I worked for had them on the fleet. They had their drawbacks. Some units were difficult to maintain and operate and others tended to be quite finicky at times. Personally, I would rather just check with a gauge frequently than use these. Maybe if they come out with one that addresses some of the bugs with predecessors I might think differently. Would like to see how this works out for you though!.

I'm using the EEZ system, and yes it is finicky. But I like it and also have both of my trailers programmed into it as well.

That's cool! It would be great for finding a tire issue on the highway before it gets down to 0 psi and you can't choose where you stop.

I love your dash ! I now wish I had went with a switch plate like yours ! Mine are all over the place. I forget which switch does what half the time. How did you make your switch labels ?

There is SO much other stuff I could put that money towards. Do you guys ever really have tire pressure issues? Once I had a tire deflate in winter, it was -14* and the truck was parked for winter. I've never had issues other than that one incident.

Thanks Rusty. Means a bunch from a seasoned guy like you. I use a Dymo label maker.

Hey there Gimp. Yes, I consider having tire pressure avail. as very important. Esp. since my front tires are tubeless on A3 wheels without beadlocks. If one of those gets low, it could break the bead loose and suddenly be one with the road. On my last trip to the north Georgia rally, I had the left outer rear forward axle tire loose about half of its pressure, was real good to know and fix before it was an issue. I consider safety as a wise investment.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Understood!

I went the beadlock route and have run flats im thinking about putting in my front tires. Mine are tubeless too and while I think about what could go wrong,the track record has been fine.

I used a TPMS on my M923A1 and my M105 when I was on the RT66 MVPA convoy. Worked great, but the 14.00x20 build a lot of psi when they heat up.

Some of them can print on heat shrink tubing too. I have a DYMO Rhino 4200 and that's my favorite feature on the thing. No more mystery wires.

How do you get the tubing into the machine ? Sounds great though !

The tubing comes in a flattened roll in a little plastic cartridge same as regular labels. Then it pops open after your print your text on it.
