Lol. That’s as bad as the time my turbo blew, right after crossing. Just kept going.nredfor88 and God prefers Diesels Thank this.

Also a flatbedder, I use the stake pockets for measuringBean Jr., Rideandrepair and God prefers Diesels Thank this.

Same! That's how I found out they're two feet apart!
Bean Jr. and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Me too!

Exactly, because what you quoted was NOT the full section. I quoted what you failed to quote. An RF chip is basically an electronic UPC! It's a tag that can identify whatever it's put in or on in a system. @God prefers Diesels nailed it before. There is NO WAY for an RF chip to "transmit" without a power source. When used for inventory or shoplifting the reader supplies a signal that briefly powers the chip and it will transmit that number back to the reader. To understand how this works you must understand that a radio wave when it "cuts" an electrical conductor generates a small current in that conductor. The same thing happens when you run a current through a conductor, you generate a radio wave!
For an RF chip to keep a running check on tire pressure it would have to have a sensor to feed it information. All of this requires power. I could be snarky and say nice try, but I won't! Maybe you should take this tall tale into the tall tale thread going on right now!Bean Jr. and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
Apparently I was talking out of my ###. This dated December 2020, says I'm full of it.
"The RFID chips are intended to connect the wheels with the global ecosystem, i.e. with backend systems in the first place. This creates potential for innovation - in particular, the technology is expected to enable improved tire management throughout its life, starting from the factory until the end of the tire's service life. The - actually obvious - function of tire pressure measurement is for the time being not planned, because it would require a dedicated sensor (per tire). At least it is conceivable for the tire manufacturer to process and display the tire condition on the dashboard based on the tire identification number and an algorithm yet to be developed. Such condition monitoring will become important, especially for increasingly automated vehicles, the manufacturer estimates."Bean Jr. and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
You know what, I can admit being wrong, but you're calling me a liar, and trying to say I attempted to deceive.
You see my truck, tell it to my face dude.
I copied and pasted straight from Google. No edit.
The name on my truck is my Username -
You two realize that you're supposed to measure how much is sticking out?
Not how far you can push it inGod prefers Diesels and Bean Jr. Thank this. -
There are TPMS systems for semi's. Something like https://www.amazon.com/BELLACORP-Pressure-Monitoring-Sensors-Hauling/dp/B00ZAIKLMY although that's just the first in a search, I don't have any experience with it.
