As it turns out, there is a problem.... the sensors they installed couldnt be read (but the factory ones in front did).. They said they had another EZsensor that would work on the car but they couldnt program the car for them... I reminded them that that was what we discussed before I had them install them...
So I took the factory rears and the new ones back in to have them remove the EZsensors (and refund me) and move the factory sensors to the new wheels and put non-TPMS valves in the old wheels. Picked them up yesterday and put them back on the car. I went for a drive to the beach this morning(TONS of fun going over the mountains!) and the light did not go off.... I got home and figured I better check that the tire pressure is the same in them all.... fronts are 34psi, back is 32psi....close enough... then I see the stems... RUBBER.... WTH!! The knuckle head that did the tires took the EZsensors out and put non-TPMS valves in the NEW wheels and didnt touch the old wheels!
One other note of interest.... with my Eibach Pro springs and Koni shocks set a full SOFT... I was getting a little rubbing on the rears on the front edge of the fenders just below where they go from rolled up edge to the 90* flat... but only when I hit those little sudden depressions/sunken spot.... doing 80ish...
I have re-adjusted the back to 1 1/2 turns FIRM to see if that stops the rubbing...
The car handles wonderfully and the EC tune is great!.... I have to watch how fast I put the throttle down at ANY speed as it will just rocket away.....
EZsensors can come with rubber stems according to the various sites I have looked at. A metal stem is an option.
I have studied the TPMS sensors and the more I look at the numbers the more I am confused.
According to what I have read earlier and lately, EZsensor #33000 should fit the SRT6 and '05 na's which can use Schrader #20066. It appears it does not fit other years of the Crossfire as they use Schrader #20028 which is not replaceable with the 33000 EZsensor.
Some people swear SRT6's and all years of na's use the same TPMS sensor, but evidence suggests that is not true.
I am almost totally confused on this matter, I hesitate to use the Chrysler part numbers as that confuses the issue more. They have different numbers for the SRT6 including '05's and the other years. Throw in revised part numbers and you have a whole new can of worms.
