Color me surprised when the car honked for each tire once I reached the proper pressure! At first I didn’t even notice - I was at a gas station and thought someone else had honked. I want that feature! ---

The light can go on if the sensor itself is bad, which it will be eventually. On mine, the light blinks for the first minute after a start until you go find which one it is and replace it. > [@Jennshark](#): > > Yum, a Krispy Kreme alert light . . . Easy enough to integrate into your nav system, and turn on the light when you’re within a specified distance … ---

You know…magic. 😉 Handily enough, I’m selling my Jeep Grand Cherokee V8/4.7L beast with a tow package; this truck can pull an oil tanker. Give me your shipping address and she’ll be there by Monday. TPS horseshoe icon included! Oh, wait, you want a truck that gets more than 16mpg :rolleyes: ---
