    Seems off. Have used 3 diff air stations set to 35psi. Front right tire reads low. Anyone else notice this on their truck?

    That definitely seems off if you also aired up the other three tires with the same compressor/gauge. If it were me, I would be sending that picture to my service manager and asking about bringing it in to be looked at. Good luck.

    Yea I don't expect it to be exact science but a 10% deviation seems a little high

    What? How does that happen? I mean, in terms of thermodynamics.

    You clearly don't understand the issue. I suggest you reread the initial post and if that doesn't help you, get checked for reading comprehension

    Smitty... Is there any chance that you parked your truck near the air hose and had to go in to get quarters to use it, and then got a coffee, took a piss, then met someone and had a chat....etc, etc...

    All this time the tires were sitting in the blazing hot Arizona sun and the front right was in the shade...??

    This "could" explain your pressure differences..!!

    OK... I'm just being a "smart-ass"... and you already figured that out, right..?

    I do know that when I set my tire pressures... it's early in the a.m. (no sun)... go from there...

    Go out later and they are different due to the heat of the sun...

    Probably a warranty issue. Appears one TPMS module is not reading pressure correctly.

    I have found that I have one that reads 1 pound lower then what's in it. Yours however I would go see the dealer about for sure.

    Mine only variate by a couple lbs, yours seems excessive I would bring her to the stealership and have them check and verify.
