Dill TPMS

[BAB]

Installed this system when I went to the 16" wheels and Michelin's just over two years ago. Ordered the system when I got the tires from Tire Rack. Has worked perfectly and I really like it!

The tire guy knew that the tire contained a Dill transmitter, and I did not see any obvious marks on the transmitter that would indicate that the tire machine might make if it struck the transmitter during breakdown of the tire.

The small retainer screw appears to have failed. When I replace the transmitter assembly next week, I will examine the valve stem (currently still in the tire) to see if I can tell what might have happened.

I did the install of the transmitters (on 05/04/2010) in each of the four rims and used a torque wrench on the retainer screws. At this point, I have no idea as to what might have caused this failure. Nor do I know when the failure occurred, as the transmitter continued to work normally as it swam around inside the tire.

Same thing happened to me (installed 4 Dill in 2019 by TireRack) and one came apart sometime last year. Having it replaced now, hopefully tire is not damaged from parts rolling around inside. My transmitter however did not work on that tire.
