Tire Pressure Sensor Question

CAMM Pro Location: Hanover Park Posts: 261

Today I went out to my car and it said that one of tires was low and I went to fill it but the part that the cap screws onto broke.

Does anybody know where I can get this fixed cheap?

yea you need an entire new sensor. obviously it was cracked before because i think you just found where the slow leak you were talking about was.

they are about 35-40 bux new plus you are going to have to have a tire shop pop the tire off the rim to install it.

If you go but it from the dealer my buddy has a tire shop in Elgin. He will put it on for like $10.

just make sure you get a 315hz sensor for the 05-07 chargers. the newer chargers use 433hz and they wont work.

I had NTB (yeah the same place I said that I would never go to again) quote me $200 to install a new one. It was $157 just for the sensor. Where can I find it for the price you said?

holy shit. no wonder NTB's are going out of business and we are taking over there old stores. lol. my shop sells them for around 40 each for the sensor itself and install would be much cheaper than what they quoted you too.

if you want to buy it online and have shawns guy do it here is one place you can get it.

Jon, all that has to be done is replace the valve stem correct? Or is there more to it?

the sensor is the valve stem. you install it from inside the rim so the tire has to be popped off the bead and pushed down out of the way or dismounted. then you un bolt the nut that holds it on the outside of the wheel and drop the sensor out. then just bolt the new one in. you can not do it without a tire machine but it does not need to be rebalanced if you only pop the top bead.

My buddy has a full service tire shop, I was just wondering if anything special was needed. Sounds simple enough.
Thanks

Same thing happened to me last year. If you put chrome or aluminum caps on these they will corode and fuse to the valve stem and cause it to snap off when you try to remove it. Discount tire the best way to go they always have the best prices.

if that happens again i have some tricks for getting fused valve caps off without braking sensors. it involves a cookie buffer and some steady hands.

When Jon did my tires he told me about my SRT caps that I have on there. I give them a cycle everytime I detail the car. Jon says it prevents the caps from having that chemical reaction that welds them to the valve stem.
