    I could, but I'm not digging into wiring in 30° weather. Hell, I'm not cutting into wiring in good weather. If they want to give me shit about it, I'll gladly take my truck back home (and get the sensors out of the old tires and make a TPS bomb...).

    Is there any module or something that can simply unplug?

    Not that I'm aware of. Looks to be you have to splice some wires together.

    How the Ariens perform?

    I want a Yamaha snowblower if not it's going to be the Ariens.

    No, not with any tpms system on any vehicle. The easiest way to deal with the light is exactly as @Tacoma Mike did. Tpms in a pvc tube pressurized to the correct pressure. Also makes changing the batteries much easier...

    Husband and I both have ariens, neither have had issues with them. His is 14 years old, mines about 12. Drooling over those 61” kubota snowblower attachments for the tractor though. :drool:

    My parents got an Ariens snow-blower back in 92 or 93 when they bought my early childhood home. Came in handy during the blizzard of 93 and 96 for sure. It sat in storage after their split-up and I got it in 2002 or so? Wouldn't run worth a damn during a bad storm. 12 year old (or so) me at the time got the gumption to tear the carb apart and clean it as I never wanted to shovel 2 feet of snow again! First time doing it and it ran perfect afterwards! That thing would blow any kind of snow with ease, wet or fluffy. It was a badass machine, despite just being 7HP. That definitely brought back some childhood and early wrenching memories! Sold it back in 2006 when I moved to Mississippi, for obvious reasons.

    When I moved back to PA my friend gave me her almost new Troy-Built 24" 8.5HP blower. Not trying to sound ungrateful, but that thing has been a dud since I got it. Any amount of moisture to the snow and it just either stops blowing it, or stops dead in its tracks. It doesn't hold a candle to what the Ariens was, that's for sure. I've also had constant carb trouble from the beginning. It's a helluva lot better since I broke down and bought a China-carb, but still has a slight dead miss to I assume the camshaft eating itself. The oil will drain a nice sparkly silver every-time. But, it's still better than no snow-blower. Debating on what to get when this one goes. I've contemplated getting an ATV with snow plow, but that's all I'd use it for so ehh...

    My Ariens is the best walk behind I’ve ever used.
    I have fixed hundreds of blowers.
    I did maint on one and made sure when I wanted another it was going to be one.
    All steel.

    Ratchet diff is awesome. Turns like butter.
    Myself I didn’t want the EFI option.

    You get mileage on them and the fit kits tend to leak. Then they are frozen, and you have to replace the sensors. So I just took them out before that happened.
