wheel sensors

[cbenn]

Question... my 08 came with 18" wheels, I just purchased 20" (Lariat stock 8 spoke) wheels from a person that did not want them on their truck, they took the sensor bands and sensors so that leaves me without them, so after trying to purchase them I see it will cost over $600.00 to replace both bands/sensors, what is everyone doing that are replacing the wheels with aftermarket wheels or just having 2 sets of wheels, I talked with Mick and sent an email to Matt & Nutty to see if I can have that part of my tune deleated some how, but the big question what is everyone doing to not get a fault light??
Thanks in advance.

I know most people that have aftermarket wheels either buy e rated tires and switch the bands to there new wheels or just drive with the light on. Last I had heard there was no way to get around it. But if anyone can do it matt can cause he uses ford software for tunning (I heard)

I had them switched to the new tires. Tires aren't rated for what the puter is checking for, so I get the light. Hopefully, someday there will be a way to adjust it. Till then, just live with it.

Do you just get a light on the dash, or do also get that chime(ding,ding,ding)

I work at discount tire. We do the swap pretty much everyday. Just go there if you can, you dont have to buy new sensors, all you have to do is purchase the brackets and the bands and swap them over. If i remember right you're only looking at around $40 for the brackets and bands. Then its just whatever they charge up there for the dismount and remount and balance. Last time i did it , it was around $200 or less. Its time consuming, but they will do it. Beats the $600 for new sensors and what not.

if i had that stupid pointless TPMS I would ditch the sensors and pull the light out of the dash.

Just a light, no chimes or anything. Have to hit the reset button when you first start the vehicle because it gives a low tire warning. But it's not a big deal.
