Is it indicating a low tire or a tpms fault? I beleive the ford system puts light on steady for a low tire and flashes it for a system fault, not sure if dodge is the same. Weve had a run of bad sensors lately, since it got cold (-20`c) Im thinking the sensor batteries are crapping in the cold weather.

You ever see where the damn spare tire is on these? Underneath the van between the 2 front seats. You have to pullup the center console and get access to the bolt to release the cable. Knock on wood that I don't get a flat......

Fuck that noise. I got roadside assistance, and my girlfriend has CAA (same as AAA in the states).

 

I'll change a tire, if it's easy to get out.

You know it.

SOME 2008-2010 E-SERIES AND F-SUPER DUTY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE TPMS SENSOR IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE IN STEEL CARCASS APPLICATIONS. TPMS SENSORS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED IN STEEL CARCASS TIRES DUE THE ADDITIONAL STEEL BELTS USED IN THEIR DESIGN. THE ADDITIONAL STEEL BELTS MAY INTERFERE WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF THE TPMS SENSOR SIGNAL. TIER TWO BODY BUILDERS ALTERING TRUCKS OF LESS THAN 10,000 LBS GVWR BY REPLACING THE FORD INSTALLED TIRES AND/OR WHEELS WITH STEEL CARCASS TIRES MUST SELF-CERTIFY THE TPMS SYSTEM AS COMPLYING WITH FMVSS 138.

 

Is your van by chance a high rail truck, with 80 ply tires on it Larry? Posted Image
