Fascinating. Thanks for the update

Man, people can suck sometimes.

Unrelated to vehicles, - my grandfather sold all of my grandmother’s land when they got married to spite her family. So, yeah. People can suck.

Hell yeah. Extra points for Toyota; they’re the shit. I drive Fords because they’re available to me, but if I had my druthers, I’d rather drive a Toyota. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned was an 05 4Runner. Miss that thing. It would go everywhere.

Oh, that’s interesting. I didn’t realize it was still coming on during the initial startup. Definitely do those tests and let me know what happens.

Out of curiosity, what make and model is your truck? I haven’t dabbled much with any vehicles newer than, like, 2017, so I suppose it’s possible that they’ve changed the way the TPMS works.

My last vehicle was a 2010 Ford- TPMS worked fine; took the wheels off while the car was on jack stands in my driveway, and took them to my neighbor’s shop (~1/4 mile away) to mount and balance new tires. My son started the car to mess with the stereo while I was gone, and the TPMS light came on. Even after I replaced the wheels, with the same transmitters, it refused to acknowledge them. The light stayed on until I junked the vehicle last year.

As far as I know, that doesn’t happen. You typically have to program the TPMS monitoring system to search for certain transmitters.

Now, I’m just a somewhat skilled shadetree mechanic; I’m not claiming to be the source of all knowledge or anything, so I could be wrong.

If there aren’t any other vehicles around and you haven’t programmed the sensor, I’m gonna guess the light just stopped working.

Yeah but when the battery dies, the light on the dash stays on. It only turns off if it has a signal from the sensors that it’s programmed to look for and they all read proper pressure.

That does sound rather worrying. The good news is that those sensors only have a range of about 35ft tops, so it’s more likely that one of your neighbors stole your wheel, put a new tire on it, and are now using it on their car.

Any similarly-wheeled vehicles nearby?

1 paragraph horror stories

(Implying that whoever stole your tire is now stalking you)

Implying my mental health is perfect. You don’t know a god damned thing about me and my struggles. When I said everybody, I was including myself.

Fuck yourself.

If fewer people thought like this, and we came together to fight what’s happening, then it wouldn’t be this way. But everybody just wants to sit around and be sad about it instead of actually trying to make a difference.

And I get it- it’s overwhelming, and it’s a lot easier to say “I told you so,” than it is to say “We fought hard and won.”

Ok buddy. Have a nice night and enjoy enabling fascism 👍

I’ve already told you. Your “third time” statement implies that there will be an election in the future when he’s promised no more voting.

I’m just saying - people hear what he says and they immediately discount it or think “surely it won’t be as bad as he’s saying,” but it nearly always is. I don’t think that you are completely ignoring his promises, but you’re giving him more slack than you should, and that’s one of the reasons we’re in this mess (not because of you specifically, just people in general).

I agree; however, he has promised no more elections. My point is that he keeps saying he’s going to do all this crazy shit and nobody ever believes him, and then he does it. So you should start believing him.

You’re also implying there will be an election

Why does everyone keep saying “third time”? There will likely be no more times. He’s already promised everyone that they’ll never have to vote again. Why do people keep thinking he’ll do less damage than he’s promised?
