About TST Truck Systems: TST Truck Systems design a broad array of quality TPMS Systems for Commercial Trucks, RVs and other Vehicles. Utilizing the latest design techniques, TST Truck Systems TPMS Monitor Systems, detects Hi/Lo pressure and Hi temperature quickly, helping to prevent costly accidents, loss of life and material losses that can cause serious financial loss to a businesses.
Meeting Industry Needs - Unlike most tire pressure monitor systems, the TST TPMS sensor is a professional system that meets Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) leak detection recommendation, while providing both slow and rapid leak protection. The (FMCSA) recommends that truck Tire Pressure Monitor Systems (TPMS) should be able to detect a 1 PSI per-minute drop within any 3-minute period. TST Systems are also ISO9001 Compliant. You will find TST Tire Monitors on Paccar trucks like Peterbilt and Kenworth.
TST TPMS Communications - Each TST Sensor transmits an independent signal which can be picked up by the TST monitor directly in most cases. To make sure the signal integrity is maintained, TST Truck Systems includes a repeater in every TPMS Kit. The Repeater amplifies the signal from the Sensors sending a much stronger signal to the TST monitor.
Note: The 510 sensors use a 4 digit sensor ID, while the 507 Sensor uses a 6 digit ID, so it is important to note, that the two can not communicate to the same monitor. When purchasing a replacement monitor make sure you order the correct one. See the TST Monitor detail page.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Facts:
Under normal conditions a tire can lose 0.3 to 1.45 psi every month. (Money you are tossing out the window)
If every vehicle in the United States had properly inflated tires, the U.S. would save 4 million gallons of fuel every day. (Source: U.S. Department of Transportation). (Help to reduce our dependence on foreign Oil).
Tire life (wear) can be reduced by 20% and vehicle fuel costs can increase by 2-3% when a tire's air pressure is 20% less than the recommended vehicle placard pressure. (Source: Michelin)
On U.S. roadways an estimated 23,000 accidents and 535 fatal accidents annually involve blowouts or flat tires. (Source NHTSA 49 CFR Part 571)
