TPMS dead batteries replacement vs. new system

[lockmup68]

So the truck had a never installed pressure pro system in a box under the back seat. Spoke with Pressure Pro and sent everything in for testing. Everything works fine, but all 16 sensors batteries are dead. To replace is about $600. This is a 6 year old system, technically new, but six years old. A new TST system with flow through sensors is about $200 more. Do I spend the extra dough and get a new system, or stick with PP?

Most of the tech changes for PressurePro are in the sensors.  When you replace the sensors, you get the latest technology.

Personally With a TPMS, you check the tire pressure electronically which eliminates the little burps when you use a pressure gauge.  In a given year, I usually only have to adjust tire pressure twice.  The complexity of the flow through sensors and the greater chance of leakage just doesn't warrant then to me.

Unlike some others, I have been using my Pressure Pro since my first travel trailer in 2003 (8 sensors). When I upgraded to an HDT and a 5er in 2010 I needed two more sensors. I called PP who advised me to replace all the old sensors and buy 2 new ones and to also "upgrade" my controller. They made me a nice deal and I did so. I also purchased the outside antenna (not the repeater). Using the outside antenna, mounted on the bed of the HDT near the hitch, I have had no issues (zero) with dropped signals or read errors. Like Mark, I so rarely have to adjust the tire pressure I see no need for the flow thru sensors. Is there something bigger, better, badder out there? Maybe, but I've been thoroughly pleased with my Pressure Pro for 14 years.

I only use my 10 PP sensors around 5 months a year. I replaced them at 9 years 6 months when some started to drop the signal.

The replacement ones are now 3 years and 5 months old.

I'm still using the old monitor that doesn't read temps. But I like the fact that I can check the pressures every morning before leaving the campground.

When I get back to my winter spot I park and put air into all tires up to the tires max PSI and store the sensors. Then in the spring when heading out I let the air out down to my travel weight PSI and put sensors on. That 2 times a year is the only time I have to mess with PSI or the sensors.

In my MH I do use the PP repeater that is mounted up high in the bedroom.
