Darn Tire Pressure sensors

Hi,

I have an '04 Liberty Limited Edition and the only complaint that I have are
with those @#!%$# radio transmittors in the valve stems (Tire Pressure
Monitoring Display) which are too sensitive to temperature change and
produce annoying alarms.

Definitely not for cold climates!

I have a solution for that which involves some manual labor, a pair of
pliers and a knife...

Does it also involve the engineer who came up with design?

What pressure are you trying to run?

In the WJ the Lo/Hi warnings come on at 25 and 45 psi.

Are you checking your spare tire too?

You know, our Cherokee insists on 'winter air' in it's tires come cold
weather for some strange reason.

Every winter, the 'summer air' or the old 'stale' last winter's air just
lets itself out. We have to take it in to the tire shop and they have
to let the air totally out, break down the tire and then clean it to be
sure 'all' of it comes out and then fill it with new 'winter air'.

At least they are under warranty for flats....

Maybe his new one has the same type of tires and rims?
;-)

I've got plain ol' air in my tires O.K.!!! :-)

A lot of tire shops are now recommending putting nitrogen in
the tires instead of plain ol' air. Apparently the nitrogen
has a bigger molecule which leaks less and doesn't change pressure as
much from temperature as plain ol' air does.

I've seen a brochure from a tire shop recommending the above but they
were charging 14 dollars for it ......LOL

Are you still buying that Metric Air from Canadian Tire?

You know that French stuff doesn't fit in American Tires quite right..

Yup, that metric air comes in decimals and just won't stay mixed with
that fractional air we get in the U.S.
