    Adding TPMS to a truck that didn't come with it (Chassis Cab, 4500/5500 specifically)

    The trailer TPMS and truck TPMS are totally unrelated, at least on the 2022's. The truck TPMS uses the common RF hub that is in all trucks. The Trailer TPMS needs a second hub which goes up in the rear headliner and an additional module at the rear bumper/frame crossmember. The trailer sensors...

    Adding TPMS to a truck that didn't come with it (Chassis Cab, 4500/5500 specifically)

    If it's the same as the earlier trucks there is no receiver needed for the truck TPMS/TPIS - the RF Hub that already exists does the work. You just need the sensors and the ability to turn the option on in the BCM. I have the sensors that worked for my 2022 earlier in this thread, they are...

    Adding TPMS to a truck that didn't come with it (Chassis Cab, 4500/5500 specifically)

    I would not believe the dealer, they are limited in what Witech will let them do. I don't know the state of AlfaOBD and the 25/26's but if it supports programming the BCM in them I have no reason to think it wouldn't be the same process. Jimmy07 might know, but otherwise you might be blazing a...

    4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

    On the driver's side the front box and a splash shield up above it. On the passenger side the tire carrier which has a bunch of fender/splash shields built into it. The only thing I've considered is making a stubby flap or splash guard behind the passthroughs in the floor of the box where the...

    4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

    Thanks! I haven't weighed empty recently but last I knew it was around 11,500 with full tanks of fuel, the usual tools on board, etc.

    4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

    It's been a minute or two since updating here, but I have been busy. Mostly with getting the new camper ready for Quartzsite in a month as well as installing heat in our shop (finally!). The last week or so I have finally gotten back on the truck getting it ready for the trip as well. I've also...

    4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

    Thank you! I am not - all of the threads are engaged, just barely admittedly, but that counts in my eye. Any more threads/stud sticking out beyond that have no function other than being along for the ride. At least that's my view, I am not an engineer in any formal sense. If I were to do the...

    4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

    Thanks. Our 1062 was pretty good on the counter space, but it's nothing compared to this Yukon. I would not be surprised if ours is the first with this exact floorplan - center kitchen, laundry center and facing dinette. They don't seem to do many facing dinettes, and they've only been building...

    4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

    Not really a build update, but we picked up our new camper today. 2026 Host Yukon with the center kitchen option. Fits the bed like a glove, just as intended. Next things for the truck will be getting the boxes back off now that the camper is delivered so I can have them powder coated...

    4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

    Next project is some splash shields. First off, I needed to extend the front part of the passenger wheel well so it stops slinging mud forward. Here's the pieces mocked up after a bunch of bending, cutting, and guessing. Next, MIG welded up the joints in the bent angle piece and then ground...

    4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

    Well, it's been a minute, but things sure have been busy here. Our Lance 1062 is traded in - if anyone is interested in about as clean and nice a 1062 that exists send me a DM and I can put you in contact with the dealer. Our Yukon is on order, should see it after Thanksgiving if all goes well...

    Issues with '19 4500

    I'd check the grounds to the batteries and engine/frame. That seems like a lot of random unrelated electrical nonsense.

    4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

    Nice. They are a good layout if you want a big non-slide. I think ours may end up being traded in if we don't get a bite this month.

    4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

    Not a fan of the 1172 myself - there's less interior room than our 1062, kitchen is smaller, and it's 500 lbs overweight due to them using their old framing process (at least that's my understanding why). The new 1191 prototype looks very interesting - finally a mainstream manufacturer using...

    4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

    Back home from a two week Moab trip, zero problems with the truck, camper, or really anything. I'm going to add a WD hitch not because it really needs it for handling reasons, but I have 1500 lbs of unused axle GAWR on my front axle and might as well even things out. Our camper is going up...
