RE: [VAL] Pressure Pro Tire Monitor

["dtidmore" <dtidmore@xxxxxxx>]

Jim,
I got involved with PressurePro almost 2 years ago and was part of their
beta testing group.  The product does work as described.  The newer design
features an improved receiver as well as a stronger signal and longer
battery life for the sensors.  The earlier design would indicate a missing
sensor periodically due to not receiving an update from the sensor in
question within a 5 minute period.  The new design seems to have corrected
that problem.  PressurePro has been outstanding in supporting the owners of
their product.  Installation is easy.  I would recommend that metal stems be
used with this product especially if the rubber stems on your rig or tow
vehicle are several years old.  If the stem is of the longer variety, then
changing to a metal stem is even more important as you are putting a 1/2-2/3
oz weight at the end of the valve stem, so it will tend to work the stem to
some extent during travel and could lead to leakage or failure of the stem. 

Compared to the internally rim mounted design, the PressurePro offers
simplier installation and does NOT require the external, rear mounted
antenna that most other designs have needed to pickup the trailer tire
sensor signals.  On the downside, you may have to replace you valve stems
and the sensors could be seen as a potential theft item.
