  • TPMS, A tire pressure monitoring system lets you know if a tire is leaking air or if it is flat and creating dangerous driving conditions. Since older cars dont have TPMS and it is a really nice feature to have. In this video I show you how to install an inexpensive TPMS for your car or truck.

    Thanks so much for the video, Chris! I just got done learning about tires in my auto class and realized how important it is to keep track of tire pressure. Also this makes me wonder: why don't manufacturers use this system? Instead they put the TPMS between the tire and wheel on the other side of the valve stem. Oh and fun fact my auto instructor told me, some TPMS sensors also read tire temperature but for some reason, people were dumb enough to think that the higher the temperature, the better it is for the tires so manufacturers had to remove that feature.

    Having worked on cars before TPMS was mandated and after, I will say it helps prolong tire life.
    Now, I agree that people should "just check their tires". But I can tell you that many people simply do not. They don't check anything on their car.
    The amount of tires that come into the shop under inflated is far less today than in 2005. The amount of tires I have replaced due to inflation wear is far less. Personally I am glad only 1 of my cars have it (wife's Tiguan)

      @AlexGreenwoodUkulele 5 년 전 +2

      @@greatpix The weight of the sensor will probably be about 15-30 grams. Most tyre balancing machines will balance by 5g increments.
      A 30g imbalance after a year of wear is considered 'normal' for a car daily-driven, but ideally, should be rebalanced. However, not necessary. Keep in mind that a road wheel is naturally lighter where the valve inserts due to the fact it's less metal to create a hole. That's why, when you get new tyres, you'll sometimes see little dots on the tyre itself.

    VIDEO IDEA. You could do a video on replacing an aging factory stereo head unit with a new one/aftermarket. You could include running a new power supply. When I did my radio I had to run a new positive power supply because the stock radio got its power in a way I didn't understand. Monsoon if you've ever heard of it. complicated radio system. I put in new speakers too. The stock speakers had 4 wires each which would not work with a new head unit.

    Bought several sets of a less expensive model last year and had very good luck with them on several cars EXCEPT they came with aluminum (silver) security lock nuts, not brass as in your video. Over time, galvanic corrosion froze the lock nuts in position, requiring me to cut them off the stems using diagonal or side cutter pliers (the nuts need to be out of the way to refill the tires). Put the sensors back on, and no one has ever stolen a single one, and none have loosened on their own. So, my advice is DON'T install the lock nuts if they are aluminum!

      Assuming it has both, it should.
      I've bought the same system for my own car (90s era Civic), which has pretty much the same thing; works flawlessly. Installed properly, the TPMS should take the place of your tire stems' caps.

      You can not check your tire pressures while your vehicle is in motion. And when it's in motion is when you pick up something that will cause your tire to go flat. And with a TPMS, it gives you ample time to pull over and check to see if your tire is going flat and put the spare on and not damage your tires. It's especially useful when you have expensive, low profile tires.
