Maaaaaan i just cant get enough of these guys great job 1Aauto keep them vids coming 💯💯💯💯
Great video very entertaining and educational. I’ll never use the foam product on cars with tpms
nice video. The TPMS were spawned from the nation wide tire recall from Firestone. After multiple rollover deaths from low tire pressures Firestone replaced millions of tires. Firestone blame under inflated tires, Ford blame tire defect. In the end recommendation were made to NTSB and new rules were created that all new cars had to have TPMS. I only remember because i got a free set of replacement tires.
Nicely done! I learned something today!
How interesting and informative. You go girl. 💪🏻

Thank you Sue for your automotive vlogs especially your Honda crv vlogs they helped me out alot
Dude! Sue blew up!
Love your video's, you explain things very well. Please keep them coming.
I always wondered about that considering my current car has a can of Fixaflat in the trunk instead of a spare tire. (I have a battery in my trunk because it's a PHEV)
Thx 4 the 411 Sue.
I personally have a spare and AAA.
Sounds like its more work to use this temp fix
Can you please bring out a video explaining short term and long term fuel trims and how to use them to diagnose any issues on any car please? Much needed important video it would be awesome!
Good info. Never used the sealant, but will never use it if it breaks TPMS.
Great, but I still don't know what was wrong with the tire if anything... :) Also, are you running winter tires in the summer?
Good Info To Know
Lucky I Have Older Vehicles w/o TPMS And If Did Have It I Would Remove Those TPMS Units And The Fuse Or Bulb Associated With It
My Chevy Truck I Disabled The Anti-lock Brakes And Speed Sensitive Steering As They Were Acting Up
I Am Old School Plus I Don`t Need More Headaches , A Thinner Wallet Or Less Driver Input I Cannot Control
~@8:12 On some TPMS you need to get the # off the side of it, put it in a scanner and actually program it per wheel. I bought 2 TPMS sensors w/Metal Stem for a spare full-size tire. The sensors are pre-programmed, so I think I need to do steps described above ~@8:12. But those sensors have 2 numbers on each which are different for sensor 1 and sensor 2. How I know which # to enter into the scanner? Thank you for very informative film. Always wanted to know, why mechanics don't like that Fix a Flat. In Dallas at Nissan Dealer they even have policy to replace the tire (regardless of the damage) if you put that stuff in it. Thank you again.
Thanks for the info…..Jim
Thanks for the video....Which models are the easier to replace. Some brands are so dam cheap, just show you have a low tire... so good luck in figure out which one going down the road. I keep a temp gun to read my tires in these times. Gmc trucks shows each tire and its status and pressure for the individual tires.. Thanks GM. Then GM makes the darn engine air filters with so many long screws and cross members to remove, just to change the filter. Kia makes it so simple in this case.
Enjoy the video... I do not use the inflator stuff, period.
I used to change tires a few years ago. One time, person came in with this situation, a flat, and filled the tire with that junk. Didn't say anything. Put the tire and rim between the bead breaker and the spoon of the breaker hit the rim causing a couple sparks... that's all it took. A huge ball of flame, the sidewall of the tire ripping the tire machine from it's mounting bolts in the concrete floor and moving the tire machine about 5 feet. This stuff is no joke. After that, our shop hung signs everywhere warning customers.
Filled it with slime or fix a flat?
What torque wrench do you recommend I have a Steelman?
Len we love you!
Yup yup. Was in a bad accident in an SUV when the tire exploded an hour after driving, after using that stuff. Nearly went off the side of a bridge on an overpass after it spun us a couple times and threw us, passenger side windows first, into the cement ledge. The tire itself hit a car's hood on the opposite side of the interstate even though we were on a bridge and a dropoff separated the opposing traffic. The rim was never found. (Was a factory, not fancy rim).
Will NEVER touch that stuff again, and I tell people how dangerous that stuff is. My kids still have scar tissue knots on head and face. It was late and we were just trying to get the kids home so they could get to bed. There was a nail in the tire that should have gotten patched up instead for us to make it home, and then changed the next day, but wasn't. Yup yup.
Can a tire pressure sensor cause a vehicle to go into limp mode
Nice job - helpful
Does it work for a manual?
it's a government law to have a tpms?
Well the government doesn't follow their own laws.
So don't expect me to follow theirs.
Haha Yep. I Would Remove That Crap If I Had `em And I Don`t Need Govt Overreach Either
I Check my Tires All The Time So No Need For TPMS
A Trip To The Landfill Is What I Would Do
good job, I’m from the old-school an old-school mechanic and I grew up he had the common sense to get out look at your tires you don’t have to have them shop on your dashboard so you got a low tire I think it’s just ridiculous that you know it’s $100 a pop for a sensor in your tire to tell someone their tires low instead of them looking at their tire before they go for a drive everything‘s for lazy people and electronic today just like no dipstick on lotta cars oh it’s electronic on the dashboard it’s just more stuff to break more stuff to pay for it’s just a sellers gimmick old-school is better simpler easier more reliable every time every stinking time guarantee
+tractor man TP Thanks for the feedback!
❓ " Good Info "
Where can I get a Heavyduty aprin
Like that one❓
With the apron, thot u were giving us cookn lessons!😂🤣 Great video! I hate those sealants. But in a crunch, they DO work unless u have a hole the size of a 2x4.
Great vid. Keep them coming. your great
Mavis tires and brakes worker damaged my tire sensor.. they
doesn't want to own up to it.. the guy was rushing, between 2 cars trying to fix both, claiming it was damaged before, it was crush when he show it to me. He did it.
not all tire sealants are flammable, check the can for a label as such!
I learned how to check my pressures and plug the tires. Tire goo I’d never want to deal with.
+MrRedtaco11 Thanks for the feedback!
2 thumbs up on this video

Great vid
Thanks now I know
How do you reset a GMC envoy sensor 07
Go to a tire shop more than likely they’ll reset it for you
Looks like a tire filled with New England clam chowder.
my 2005 Ford Explorer had TPMS sensors
+Matt Sayers Thanks for the feedback!
I used slime for years, never corrosion, is not a single video in UA-cam with proof of corrosion using slime. Nice video anyways.
I would use the spare tire,if you have one.
Can't see why it matters when I think a sealant is flammable and it is Not flammable, only the opposite matters. If I assume all are flammable then I'll protect myself from fire damage. Why trust something is not flammable that says it is not flammable? You're welcome.
Sue getting into acting! Lol
*sir ... i love u 🤣 for this*
You're working too hard, that's why I have a plug kit in my Wrangler's tool bag and an ARB compressor under the hood...
Same pich
Anyone who would put that crap in their tire deserves to buy a new TPMS.
Our shop doesn't welcome those foam stuff
We never got to the cause of the flat!!!
Nor did we find out if the fix-a-flat ruined the TPMS sensor.
Tpms is so annoying
Comments on your paper work...fix flat used prior REPAIR.....customer acts crazy after sensor fail....cover your ass
Working at a tire shop I like the indirect TPMS systems the best. The ones that use the wheel speed senor to monitor the rolling diameter of the tire and can tell you that you have a low tire if its low enough and if you drive on it long enough. GM used that style in the early 2000's with the lesabres and stuff. i like those better bc all you have to do is set the air and hold the button down on the dash, or some you have to go thru the nav menu and put in recalibrate mode. I guess in one way owning a car with that system is better bc you dont have to worry about ever buying sensors but they dont always work that well bc if all 4 tires are low sometimes it wont tell you. it also wont tell you until you drive. so if you have a right rear tire lose air overnight, the tire light wont come on until you are about a mile away from home, and after putting on new tires you may have to reset it a few times for it to adjust to the new diameter of tire since they have new tread.

Why would you have on good clothes to change a tire? 🙄🤦
