So one of my tires could have used some air. 

I was a little excited to put some air in with the new tire fill notification like the flashing lights and horn honks. 

 

I proceeded to add air air waiting for the lights and/or honks and I got nothin. 

 

I tried to read up on it it but the only thing I can come up with is that those indicators only happen when you get a low tire notification in the DIC. 

 

Is that right?

How many pounds were you going for?

I put 35 pounds in my 18" which is what it says on the door sticker. But, the horn never honked, nor did any lights come on.

But, alas, I have an LT model

 Mayne this is only for LTZ & High Country?

I’m in Canada so it’s KPA. 

IIRC it was about 10 under from the others. So it was just a bump up.

A few months ago, I went to top off my tires, but the service pump at the gas station ended up deflating my front right tire to 20PSI, the first tire that I wanted to top off, was at 30PSI to start.  So my truck and I "limped" home, dug out one of my DC powered tire pumps, and filled all of my tires up to 35PSI (according to the TPMS on the DIC).  As the tire pressure climbed, the mirror turn signal (on that side) flashed at every PSI increase, until about 28-30PSI, no horn. 

 

Just cause you got the "service tire(s) light," doesn't mean that you'll get the turn signals nor horn, unless it's super low.

ive noticed that the TPMS is drastically different than actual.  My actual tire gauge showed me 35psi, the TPMS readout says 33.

Where do you live? Elevation has an affect on the displayed pressure. The sensors measure absolute pressure and the computer doesn't compensate for high elevation. I live at 7000' and mine read 2 to 3 psi low.

That makes sense. I live at anywhere from 3 to 5 thousand feet up and mine are off 1- 2 pounds according to the gauge

Same with me

Although I think elevation may play a role in that

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
