Yeah I realize it's cheap, that is why I got it at Costco quality is usually ok there. Have used it a bunch of times and it's been pretty good. Knock on wood until I get something better, and now I'll probably pack a bicycle pump just in case :)
Don't laugh, I got this.
It's not the fastest or most accurate of gauges, but does the job just fine. Took it to Moab, aired down to +- 18 PSI and re-inflated all 4 back to 35 in about 20 mins. Sasquatch stock tires.
Airing down we just used anything pointy. A valve tool would have been...
Seriously. If I so much as place an untoward word with a customer in my line of work I can pack my shit.
This ain't rocket science, really, especially if the Bronco is the ONLY vehicle in the lineup that has a TPMS in the "spare".
But hey, wield whatever power you like, service-dude, karma has...
Sasquatch does have 5 TPMS. Hell, it re-learns down to the POSITION of the wheel on the vehicle...
How much more BS can you take? What a waste of time.
Utter bullshit.
I do it myself, hardest part is wrangling 80# of cold dirty wheel around, 5 times.
- the spare has a TPMS
- the sensors are automatically re-discovered in about 15 mins IME
- whenever I change tires, if I go to a different brand/size/pattern/whatever I don't want to be stuck...
Do you know what it is they do to get it going again? What is this reboot?
Surely, if they're not doing anything and it still runs for a while afterward, I imagine you could do it yourself on the side of the road; avoid waiting for a tow...
