    When I bought my TST system I had to buy some sensors separately too. The kit had 6 and I wanted 10.

    Additionally, lets say you do need to fill the tires, those caps come off or have a good passthrough to fill with?

    I feel like you should be able to buy the extra sensors you need and program all 18. I only did my tractor, but my screen shows spots for the trailer as well. I am not certain.

    They screw off by hand just like an old valve stem cap.

    What @Banker said. Some of them have optional passthroughs available, but I'm sure they'd work with any other regular passthrough too.

    They are about the width of a quarter or slightly larger. 8F70B166-39F6-4FA1-9851-E4D8DA1F4A3B.png 519C779F-8B82-4872-A472-6FC1745BF633.png

    Oohh that's a cool concept, hook it to a passthru and an auto inflate. It's probably been a thing for awhile but I never thought of it.

    Nice for the peace of mind i guess that the autoinflate is working properly. I hadnt thought of that myself

    I can set the alarm threshold on my TST system for both pressure and temperature. It's done by axle instead of by individual wheel but that's OK. You must have a different model. The batteries in my sensors are replaceable too.
