Buy a $2 pencil gauge and stop bowing to the digital gods!
It's air and a tire. Didn't require sub-menus & programming to work ok the last 100 years.
My 'nanny' will show all 4 the same, then all 4 different after a 10 minute drive. I just laugh.

Dash reading seems more accurate after a few minutes driving But I think it still gives you a ballpark reading with 1-2 psi error. Measure them cold by hand once a day or every 3 days or weekly if you wanted to have a little more accurate reading. If you pay attention to the dash readings and you’re OCD you are in for a ride to hell

LOL I trust my hand help gauge more then the truck monitor lol . I always check when cold and usually see the normal 2 / 3 psi rise when the tires get hot ! The dash used to be even with hand gauge but now off so that has me thinking the sensor battery is starting to go on my 2015 ! They are hitting 6 y/o so will see

That could be it yes. I have had a couple of them in my 14 that went bad cause their battery died. Had them replaced at Americas tires couple of months ago for $130 OTD if I remember correctly.

+ OK here goes.
The Dash indicator reads driver side 40 psi front and rear
Passenger reads 38.5 front and 38 rear
With the SLIME Brand digital Pressure gauge I read 40 PSI all 4 tires ! :O

Do you think the passenger tire monitor is starting to fail ?

2015 RAM OEM indicators !

THANKS

I check them in a carwash after washing the truck/tires,especially if i suspect somethings not right.That usually equalizes the tires the best i've ever found.

Thanks, I look into changing all 4 next tire rotation ! Do you remember the brand you used ? Or did they use OEM. Thanks

Unfortunately i have no idea what they use. I've always had them changed as needed when they go bad, this was the first time with the RAM but they've done a few other vehicles for me. They have a warranty as well if they go bad within the year i think. I remember i had to change them twice in my Jeep, but the 2nd time they said they were under warranty so it was free.

Dealer put on my after market wheels that have a -12 offset. The wheel balancing weights hit the calipers so he had to install balancing bags. Now my TPMS does not function and codes flash on the dash. I am thinking that the balancing bags are not compatible with the TPMS. Any thoughts or suggestions ? How can I get rid of the dash warnings ?

Rado said:

IMO the Balance Bags I assume are inside the tires .( Never Heard of them ) Are hitting the Sensor and killing them ! Please update when you find out a cure ! I was looking at Balance Beads a while back but think they would also destroy the sensors

dieseldave said:

Yes they are inside the tire. The only time you’re tire is not balanced is when your stopped. I went to the dealership today and the tech told me the the balancing bag do not interfere with the TPMS. What he did was used the TPMS valve stems that came with my truck that are for my TT, and the TPMS VALE STEMS THAT WERE PROGRAMMED FOR MY TRUCK ARE ON MY OLD RIMS IN A BOX . Go back on Monday to get it right.
