But, my fitment guide in our computer system says that the vehicles all should?

I got it on my Job 2 350 CC SRW LWB 4x4 10k gvwr. I bought new rims but need new bands. I heard the OEM ones are expensive but they have some aftermarket ones that look like giant hose clamps and are reuseable for like $20 a piece. I have yet to call the dealer to see how much it will cost to get tpms reprogramed for the lower pressure of the tires I want to install.

We sell the bands. It runs $43 plus tax here in FL for a set of 4 bands and 4 brackets. Yes they are giant hose clamps and are reusable. Go up to a 26"? rim.

Make sure to use the double sided tape that comes with the set. You must put it on the backside of the bracket to keep it stationary. Otherwise it can shift and cause a wicked vibration.

You can buy them from Home - Discount Tire Direct, If they do not have them on the website, call the 1-800 number.

im having the same problem, and i know this. i have talked to 4 different dealers, 4wheel parts, custom shops and discount tire. all have told me the same thing which is that there is no way to calibrate it to different pressures and there is no way to turn it off. some styles do run off the tire rotation thing and some are off the pressure. my next idea is to switch the sensors for those used in the F150. im not sure it will work. any ideas?

i got the light to go off. i read on the pillar the pressures were at 60 psi so i made sure they were all above that and that they were all at the same pressure, reset them and the light is out. by the way, you don't have to go to ford at all to have them reset. you should have gotten the tool with the truck inside the owners manual. i didn't have one so i called the dealer and they overnighted me one. it's pretty easy to do just read the book. page 210 or something. good luck. i hope you can fix yours too.
