    Not sure what's going on with my TPMS. Its flashing on and off. Check the right rear tire and its holding air. Is my right rear sensor bad?

    That is a real possibility especially if the truck is 7 years old or older. I'd replace all 4 if one is bad, around $80 on Amazon.

    Yeah, the batteries may be failing on them in this time frame. Get new sensors

    Yep. Most likely DB (Dead Battery).

    Do all 4. The others probably aren't far behind.

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    In a word - Yes. They have a battery. Battery dies after a bit.
