tpms question

Hi all
New member here.
Question
I have a 2012 Lariat f350 6.7 and love it. I have my stock wheels and sensors.
I found 2008 F350 wheels of a king ranch and bought winter tires for our awesome Calgary Alberta climate! These have band sensors and my truck with stock has the newer stem sensors.
My truck screen shows TPMS fault and I expected this. I read manual and tried the retrain them but would not work.


I found a TPMS 19 motorcraft tool for resetting the system but not sure if this will work and don't want to waste 75 bucks if it will not.


Anyone use this tool on older 2008 sensors on a newer truck with success?


Thanks

Can't use the band style sensors in place of stem mounted sensors, they use different frequencies.

I thought that also but the compatibility chart for the tool shows a range of years from 2015 back to 07?
this is the confusion

Then the chart is innacurate. To start with, my '07 doesn't have TMPS.

The tool may work for all those year ranges, may work on both frequencies, but the sensors don't.

The steel wheels that I got for my winter tires had bands and I changed them over to the stem mounted ones I got off of ebay and they have worked great. I believe the early TPMS sensors from 08-10 won't work with 2011 and later trucks.
