My wife snapped the valve stem (don't ask!) off the wheel so I have had to get a new sensor! Which is interesting in its self. I order one from an online store in the US it cost me 128 USD with Shipping to the UK! I then find its got made in GB stamped on the Ford bag! So I find they are all made in the GB/UK at Schrader. Spoke with the technical guy at Schrader! Guess what ford picked the dumbest system to use!! All the other vehicles in EU use a system that auto learnes the minute you put the sensor in the wheel!!
Yes I have imported Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 05 from CA and yes gas is 9.80 USD a gallon today!!
This is what I use on my navigator. I bought one from this guy on ebay. Works well
