most freightliner dealerships and somewhere around a hundred bucks
I know I've seen them in the truck stops and I'm think at Speedco also.
On a side note:
Copied from a TeamCaffee post:
Pressure Pro or Doran Air Monitoring System We added this monitoring system when we added the super single tires. We are hoping this will warn us if we drop below 12 ½ percent of air pressure loss and then an emergency warning is 25 percent loss of air pressure. We have a sensor for each wheel, an antenna and a monitor screen 600.00
It looks as though this would be as economical and useful. But, if memory serves me correctly, you had this on the KW expediter?

You are correct yes I did. I am now in a Tractor Trailer sold the little KW.
System worked well, draw back I did not like was when the Temps drop to around 0 system Warning Goes off in Middle of the night. Great for Warning system, over do for just wanting to keep tires at correct pressure. Cat Eyes seems like a worthy investment for the job.
Thanks, Speedco or Freight Dealers.
P.S. I think Speedco for $10.00 will check and fill all tires so I could go in get this done and get the Cat's.

whats nice about cat eyes,you can fill both tires with air,or nitrogen,which ever you use,at the same time.With nitrogen,you get a more stable tire pressure,and less loss during the month.,also tires will run cooler and last longer.
Should be no more than about $5 a tire. That's the most I'd pay for the Sprinter or a passenger car. Might be more than that for truck tires, but I'd shop around, 'cause if it's much more than $5 even for a truck tire, they're charging too much (for a passenger, Sprinter, light truck, the nitrogen costs them about $0.40 a tire, for trucks probably $0.60). Most places that have it, put it in for free when you buy the tires, and will usually not charge anything more at rotation time for it.
Dunn Tire, Bell Tire, Tire Discounters, Costco. I keep hearing about truck stops, but I dunno.

Most truck dealers have them for about 100 dollars a set. make sure you get them for the pressure you want to keep in your tires.
