    Im sure if I drove around long enough I could find a hole in the wall that would install non tpms tires, but overall its a great great way for shops here to really stick it to us! Mostly there all in collusion as well... They jack up the prices on sensors more than double and then act like its...

    Its a 2007 Tahoe... Tire shops in my state refuse to even mount tires if your tpms are not working.

    Oh trust me, Ive been round and round with that argument lol They went on to exclaim that who ever agreed to disable it, illegally did so because its a federal safety item...bla..bla..bla.. I know the AFM is a different subject, but the point is all it takes is for someone to flip the switch so...

    Thanks but no-thanks, been down that road last time I paid a shop $200 to disable my TPMS only to have another shop the very next year turn it back on and refuse to turn it back off. No offence, but Im sure you understand my point. .....why pay the locksmith to unlock MY door when I could own...

    Antennas sticking outa my tires!

    Ill be the guinea! Yes, the TPMS Delete box is what I plan on getting if the SuperChips Flashcal does not have a TPMS delete function. I have an extra switched (key on) relay set aside for just such a thing. Ill Velcro the box somewhere under the dash and hard wire the usb to something like...

    Antennas sticking outa my tires!

    I wrote SuperChips... ME: "Hello, can you please tell me if the "GM Flashcal For Trucks - 2545" Is capable of turning off my TPMS and AFM? 2007 Chevy Tahoe 5.3 If not, which products do you offer that can do this for my vehicle?" THEM: "The Flashcal is mainly meant to adjust tires & gears...

    Antennas sticking outa my tires!

    Went to my local Tire shop and they were kind enough to give me a handful of used TPMS. Ive been cutting them open and its obvious the technology has grown leaps and bounds. Turns out all of them have a motion sensor/G sensor on them that puts them to sleep to conserve battery. All of them so...

    Strange TPMS behavior

    I currently have a handful of tpms on my desk because Im dissecting them.....Im in deep learning about these little buggers...https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/antennas-sticking-outa-my-tires.112927/ turns out some have motion sensors built on them that very easy to defeat. Some others...

    Strange TPMS behavior

    Someone could even try this without a tool and just let the air out of one tire each time the horn chirped....I dont have a compressor at home or I would confirm if this works..

    Strange TPMS behavior

    What I would like to know is... will the computer accept the same sensor identification code for all four tires? For instance, say you have one sensor in your hand, and in the other the relearn tool.... you start the relearn procedure Push button on relearn tool aimed at sensor Horn chirps for...

    AFM yay or nay?

    The battery drain issue is the only thing really holding me back, that and if I can confirm that the Flashpaq can do AMF and TPMS Id be willing to purchase it instead. On the other forums people are buying this switched extension to combat the battery drain issue so they dont break there OBD...

    AFM yay or nay?

    Have they fixed the problem with the Range device killing peoples batteries? I read that the "unplug unit while planning to not drive for a few days" clause is still in the instructions..

    BFG KO2 ...Be advised...

    I called around my area looking for the best price and asked each of them if they were aware of the two different tires, most didn't have have a clue! Some shops even reordered tires receiving the "DT" and have been mixing the two variants together in sales not knowing any better!

    BFG KO2 ...Be advised...

    Thought Id share this because I hadn't seen it posted anywhere here yet..... My recent shopping excursion for BFG All Terrain T/A KO2s had me scratching my head for a bit when I came across two tires of the same size (LT285/70R17) BFG offers two variants of this tire, both in a load range E...

    Spare Tire Delete

    Its time for me to purchase new tires and after the leveling kit I really wanted to fill in the wheel wells just a bit more by switching from the 265/70/17 to 285/70/17s. My biggest dilemma was going with a C rated vs E rated tire. Such a mix of opinions all over the net regarding this, some...
