Chrysler T&C tires go flat every night (Updated)


Recommended Posts

Before you go off on them I'd remove the tire and verify where the leak is. It would be a stretch, but running over something on the road and having 3 tires with slow leaks is not unheard of. Not saying its impossible but its very unlikely that 3 of 4 wheels on a vehicle that new are corroded bad enough to leak. You'd hate to be standing there all mad just to have them show you nails sticking out of 3 of your tires. Just sayin'......

We had this problem last winter as well, only with just 2 tires.

Then this summer, no leakage. I'd have to say there's no nails in the tires.

Also, my parents have one that leaks on their van as well.

I pumped them all up to 40-47 psi (by tire pressure reading on dash) this morning before the wife went to work.

By the time she got home, the front passenger is down to 23, but the rest read the same pressure.

I used the van about 8:30 and the pressure was down to 17, driver's side rear, which hadn't leaked before, was down to 32.

Looks like I'll be getting up in 5 hours to pump up some tires again.

We dropped the van off at the shop the night before.

They took the tires in first thing in the morning when they were flat and found that the o-ring was leaking around the Tire pressure monitoring.

They tightened the nut and we took it home.

This morning the front two were fine, although the passenger front still lost about 3 lbs, although that could just be fluctuation from the cold, as we're going off the TPM within the dash, and not putting an actual gauge on the tire.

The passenger rear was flat again (6 lbs) so I have to check with the tire shop to see if they 'fixed' that one, or just the fronts.

    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
