Dullsters
Inspired by the Dull Men’s Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I was thinking that too. It does come on during the check when I first start the truck. I was going to let air out of one tire today and see if that trips the sensor. I may also leave my spare at home when I go to work today and see what happens.
Oh, that's interesting. I didn't realize it was still coming on during the initial startup. Definitely do those tests and let me know what happens.
Out of curiosity, what make and model is your truck? I haven't dabbled much with any vehicles newer than, like, 2017, so I suppose it's possible that they've changed the way the TPMS works.
My last vehicle was a 2010 Ford- TPMS worked fine; took the wheels off while the car was on jack stands in my driveway, and took them to my neighbor's shop (~1/4 mile away) to mount and balance new tires. My son started the car to mess with the stereo while I was gone, and the TPMS light came on. Even after I replaced the wheels, with the same transmitters, it refused to acknowledge them. The light stayed on until I junked the vehicle last year.
I took the spare out of the bed for two day's and nothing changed with the light. But yesterday while driving to the next town up for a vet appointment, about 30 miles into the drive the TPMS light flashed for 1 minute then stayed on like it should when a sensor is missing, it appears to be working fine again.
Fascinating. Thanks for the update
