Well, without a doubt, the TST system seems to be the most popular.
Now, could you help me a little more with choosing the right model?
The 507 or the 510 and please include "why".... also, how many sensors should I get? The perfect situation would be 10 sensors...4 for the RV and 6 for the dually F-350. I don't think that my Ford dually comes with a factory installed TPMS. I think it does come on the trucks that have single rear wheels. I'm thinking of just getting 4 for now for the RV and hoping to add sensors in the future. (I'll give you all my address for birthday and Christmas gifts)
I have also heard that there might be an issue with putting these sensors on truck tires that "do not" have steel stems. I would appreciate a clarification on that also.
i have had both TST systems.
I prefer the 507.
The display is much thinner and easier to mount, has an on off switch and is capable of "auto sensing" the sensors.
I will be changing the batteries before the season starts this year, not a big deal. Somewhere on the site I posted a link for a good price on batteries.

I have 10 sensors, same truck and no, your DRW does not come with a TPMS.
Your DRW has the correct stems for the rear tires, the fronts are not full steel, but I use them anyway.
I did have a valve stem leak this year, took it to Firestone and asked for all metal stems, they said OK and put the same type back on. Go figure.
The 507 sensors have removable anti tamper caps. I leave these off. Not concerned with theft (yet) and it makes for a “tool-less” installation.
With the DRW, I can just get my hand in the wheel slot to put the sensors on.
You cannot put the sensors with the tamper caps on without removing the rear wheels!
Stinks when you want to adjust the air pressure. I did run inner wheel extensions, but they have there own drawbacks.
I did run 4 sensors on my standard rims and valve stems that my GMC had for a year with no problems.
Another plug for a monitoring systems. Doesn’t matter what brand.
The clip is a tire failure I had coming back from Elkhart, gave me pelnty of warning and room to find a safe place to pull over.
