I want to buy a set of 18x9's wheels to run my summer tires and keep the stock 18x8's to run my winter tires. Have any of you tried to buy your new wheels with a new set of TPMS sensors? Where did you get them (part number's would be appreciated) and have you had any problems using the TPMS reset procedure to program them to your car?

Thanks!

 

I bought an extra set of sensors for mine and haven't had any problems. Followed the procedure in the owners manual to relearn new sensors and everything works great. No part numbers here but I will try to find them and let you know.

 

Did you buy the sensors from Ford or after market, where?

Thanks!

 

I replaced my factory 18's with 20's. My dealer put mine on at their cost parts & labor was $300. I went this route to maintain the warranty on the wheels and sensors.

Depending on the type sensor I called around and aftermarket ones were are $68 a wheel.

 

Bought aftermarket sensors from Les Schwab for $64.48 pn 20315. OE pn 9L3Z-1A189-A

 

This is very helpful, thanks Jaceharp.

 

Just want to add a comment from another forum. There's a guy who had his TPMS warning threshold reset to 50 psi. It was done at the dealer with the same software that is used to apply the 10B17 flash. Can anyone else confirm that this can be done?

 

I'm confused on the whole issue,...but I changed my Rims to a prettier kingranch take offs from a 2009 and at Discount Tire, this guy comes out with a handheld thingy and programmed mine on the spot. Like I said I'm clueless on how they work but they did it and have not had a problem. I think he used my old sensors, I kept the same size rims.

Hope that helps.

what are your tire pressures set to?

the issue is that some would like to drop to 50 sometimes to soften the empty ride, but the sensors go off. and there is no (approved) way to reprogram the truck to accept 50 as the limit to warn on.
