Well, at least I know what the low tire indicator looks like. Cute little orange cross section of a tire with an orange exclamation mark in it! Tire shop fixed it, and will charge a few bucks for a new stem,which evidently is a little more hi-tech than the old ones.

They shouldn't have replaced the stem since it's part of the TPMS...Anyways, good to hear the system worked. Get some Wrangler Silent Armors and repel nails!

Mine did!

What I meant to say is the stem was replaced by a new exact same stem,which is very interesting looking. The items were in a plastic package that Discount Tire referenced on their computer to my exact tire/wheel OEM fitment. They have a "one time use" aluminum nut that is part of the assembly as in the factory delivered wheels on my new Tundra. I should have written down the name on the package and the code. I think more people will find a similar experience once they get a flat,IMHO.
