Default Tire fix it

Anyone have a link, other then a dealer where something close to the original size of the flat repair juice can be purchased? I have a new kit/compressor but it is to tall and will not let the cover lower all the way down, and I love how the original fits into its own little hole. Also, all of my tire sensors are still working, but after 16 years the writing has to be on the wall, new tires will come soon, can the sensors just be replaced with regular valve stems?, and yes, I have downloaded the pdf to turn the light off.... Thanks in advance

Base models have no TPMS modules (or light), only valve stems.

As to that gunk, I use only tire worms....

YES, tire stems will fit. You do not have to spend hundreds on an outdated crapola TPMS if you can get away with rewiring the TPMS module with your copy of the .pdf. The dash lamp will still 'self-check' and I don't think any DMV tech will be smart enough to have the time to 'deflate' a tire to see if the system works. There are also 'tech-i' gadgets that will plug into a cig lighter outlet (with screw-on valve stem transmitters) that'll tell you what your pressure situation is within your 4 wheels. I took my TPMS offline long ago, you can too!

MANY places/sellers like this ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-TPMS-S...IAAOSwhARfJhBX ). I do not endorse any product, just a quick search of accessory TPMS came up with 6 figure results on fleabay (like this one above). Happy hunting!

I purchased a new double din HU and they offer Bluetooth enabled valve stems that can tell you your tire pressure. Works really well. I’ve seen on eBay and Amazon something similar where they connect to an app of that specific brand/company on your phone. Also when the factory TPMS eventually stop working and they will, you’ll want to disable that annoying light. There’s a good write up on disabling it. Takes all of 10 minutes maybe 30 if you’re not familiar with taking the dome light out.
Just throwing this out there if you decide to go a different route.🤙🏼

You put air in your tire not that crap. It needs to be scraped out when you have your tire fixed. It possibly damages the TPMS sensors if you have them still working.
That Goo has an expiry date, so do not waste your money on an expired one if you insist on getting one.
If you want it just to look correct you can get an expired one.

See the #2 post by pizzaguy, that is how I do it if I have to. If that does not fix it then neither will the gooey slime you would use.
A membership in AAA or CAA is a good deal when you are stuck away from home.

I depend on our AAA membership if a tire leaks. I just accept that this is part of owning a Crossfire...
