Anyone try swapping tpms sensors at home or should i go to a tire shop? discount wants charge dismount and balance for swapping tpms. $230 at northgate

 

if you’re wheels are off the car and you can carry them loose, this guy is fairly priced but might be a drive for you.

Also, they don't need to dismount the tire to change tpms. Just push it down enough to change the unit. Bullshit I'd they try to say they have to

 

I ain’t from around here but how TF is Les Schwab in business? Prices here are ridiculous.

 

I'm guessing people still go because locations are convenient, offer multiple types of services and most likely financing options (Les Schwab CC). I used them in the past because they could get my TPMS paired and set on the first try versus Discount Tire, which i hear is getting expensive with their Mount/balance/TPMS services now as well.

 

I think is because once you fall into their web and have to sit for 5hrs you are willing to pay whatever they want to get the fuck outta there and never go back. At least that’s how I feel.

 

Or they waste an entire day of your time, then tell you right at closing they can’t do the one thing that they specialize in, install new tires, because of a broken wheel stud (another service they perform). Les Schwab has become an absolute joke IMO.

Man, I really wish I had bought a coats tire machine when I had the chance.

 

I got an OTT tune on my overweight truck today. Wow, what a huge difference. Coming back up to North Bend on I-90 and I did 80 with no downshifting. It's SOOOO much better now.

@Shadowhunter now there's a target for your hounds

 

Thought I'd share this interesting use of Amazon led pods I saw tonight at Safeway. Amazing

 

Maybe he’s preparing for phase 2 and now there’s room for the giant Temu twin turbo kit that’s going to be installed. Something tells me that guy spares no expense and shops like a billionaire. #ctsvclone

 

NGL, I looked around the store to see if I could find the genius, I figured he'd be pretty fuckin obvious, but didn't find him

 

Fuck Les Schwab, nobody should ever go there. Not only is it a rip off, they shouldn’t be allowed to change tires let alone do mechanical work on anybody’s truck.

 

I believe he has an avants discount too.

 

Thanks for the reference. I just messaged him about installing some cloned TPMS sensors for me.

 

We need to do a get together for beer and food.

 

I've had a

$201 WARN 90287 Winch Component Accessory: Wireless Remote Control System for Truck and SUV Winches with 5 Wire Electrical System

WARN 90287 wireless remote that I've been using since like 2014. The transmitter will no longer sync with the receiver. I even pulled up the manual online with instructions on how to re-sync it. I emailed Warn and hoping they make it right.

Searched my email receipts and was surprised they are over $200! Just a PSA to make sure you have a wired backup. They sure are handy though. I've been quite far away from my truck using a 100' extension line and winching a log or truck. Was always good until now.

 

I'm in! Could use some local TW peeps since moving back to the area last summer.
