I'm thinking about getting a different set of wheels for my 09. The current are steel with chrome skins. What I'm looking at are factory Ford rims, 17". Or maybe 18". My question is related to the tire pressure monitoring system. Will I need to go to the dealer to have the new/different rims synced with my pickup? Or is there a post dealing with this? My last one was an 08 1500 and when I switched to the winter steel set, the light came on and it really didnt bother me. Thanks and merry christmas...

 

Don't need to go to the dealer. The tire shop should be able to supply a compatable tpms valve that the truck will recognize.

 

Any idea on when tpms became standard on all vehicles?

 

I think around '07
