TPMS and beadlocks

[High Five H2]

Ok, for those of you with beadlocks, how do you deal with TPMS? I figured I could just zip tie the sensor to 2 holes in the insert, but I didn't know if the sensor would work if it wasn't bolted to the valve stem. Any input on that? Hutchinson has some guidance for jeeps. They just bolt a little bracket to the insert, similar to me, but less ghetto. That's Mopar, though, not GM so I don't know if the sensors work the same.

Thanks

My Hutchinson's mount the TPMS the exact same way as the Jeeps

So you didn't need the valve stem attached to the sensor, then?

You can see the bracket hanging loosely in this pic....the TPMS attaches to this through that one hole

I was able to mount the TPMS in my Hutchinsons, however, the signal isnt getting through my 315 75 16 MTR's. Sometimes it does and the alarm goes away, then it comes back in another 50 miles, so I've learned just to deal with it. I think the thicker rubber of off-road tires just blocks the transmission signal...

Maybe I shouldn't bother, then. I have the same tires. I hate to shut off a perfectly good system, though.

The sensors worked fine in our Hutchinson's for awhile and then quit, or at least one did. Our TPMS sensor light stays on non-stop now.

I hate those sensors! I wish someone could clear that program from the computer.

Jamie, the guy who did my harness for the V8 swap gave me options when programming my PCM. I could have related everything from TPMS to ABS

I kept it all but the option is there

I would like to get mine disabled. What a PITA.

Unless you've replaced them, these sensors and their batteries are up to 10 years old now. I think my TPMS issues are simply an indicator of old sensors that need to be replaced - or ignored.
