Accu-Gauge make a whole line of 'em, pens, digitals, and probably more than one dial-type (but who stocks them I don't know). You may want to print out the pic once you go looking. For scale: the case is exactly 2 inches wide.

Too bulky for my taste. I found one of those at Walmart when I was doing the run-around. Nearly bought it too, but decided to keep looking. I really like the one I have 'cause I can use it with only one hand. The one your looking at has a 6-8" hose on it.

I'd sell you my spare, but I "gave" it to my GF. She says it now has sentimental value, and won't let go of it for less than $100.

(guess she loves me after all...):p
 
LOL, man i can picture her saying that. Cuz i have done isht like that, and never saw it again. Sentimental my azz. Looks like i am on the hunt for the accu gage.

I appreciate the thought, even though she ruined my chance

Guess she does love you
 
NOTHING WORKS

So, i did exactly what you guys said to do to monitor the tire pressure, and checking before and after driving.

The efing light is still on. It isn't blinking, it is solid. Which in my mind says that it is loosing air on a consistant level. But i checked the pressure this morning, and it is exactly the same as when i filled it up last night.

So, next option. Warrenty issue? And if they can't fix it, how would i know if they just don't disconnect the computer, which shows the low tire pressure, without taking all the air out of the tire.

need some help boys

Before you go to the dealer lets just make sure we have covered all the bases:

Same as before you filled your tires, or same as after you filled your tires? Did you remember the spare? Did it get any colder last night? And what psi are they at now?
 
HOLY ISHT THE SPARE. I didn't even think of that. Man it didn't even dawn on me that the spare would have the censor.

Be right back

Thanks a bunch. And on your idea of checking the spare. Low and behold, it was at like 27 PSI, and with my portable compressor filled it up to like 34 or so. And blamooo, no more light. At the very lease I am impressed that there is a sensor in the spare. And as surprised to find a full size spare, with matching rim.

Thanks for all your help and I am going to order one of those on your recommendation


Regards

Yeah, a lot of people don't know the spare is the same rim as the other four. I really like that they did this, because now I can do a 5-tire rotation and extend the life of my tires by 20%
 
I have digital gauges in both my cars. They're fairly accurate but at the track, I use a dial gauge that goes to 60psi. You shouldn't get one that goes higher than that or it'll be harder to read the increments.

Accutire gauges

I have the one on the bottom row middle but w/o the flashlight in my M3. The bottom right is in my 4runner. I got them both from Costco and they work great for everyday use.

Ebay auction of the one I have in my 4runner. (Damn, I should've bought this one!)
