Swapping over TPMS
My truck is a 2017 F250 Platinum package and the 20" Platinum wheels.
Installing a lift and new wheels/tires this weekend. (2.5" readYlIft, 35x12.50R22 RBP MT, and 22" Tuff T15 +5mm wheels) I don't know a whole lot about the TPMS sensors other than what I've learned on here, but my plan is to Swap the TPMS sensors in my wheels now to the new wheels. With that said I have a couple questions:
1. Do I need to buy new rubber valve stems or can I swap those also? If I do need them does anyone have a part number... ford parts department today told me it was calling for a different more expensive valve stem than what he is used to seeing. ( it was double the price of what he said is the "normal" stem)
2. Do I need any kind of tool to pull the valve stem through the new wheels?
If anyone has any advice or personal experience from swapping their stock TPMS to new wheels... please share... I'm all ears!
Thanks in advance.

The tire shop that mounts your wheels should have the stems in stock. They can de-bead the front side of your stock tire and unbolt the sensor. It's a waste of time to try to remove a rubber stem, they will most likely be damaged if you try. Leaving the stem allows you to reinflate the stock tires. It's much easier to handle an inflated tire and wheel. Then they can install them in the new wheel with a new stem. The stems shouldn't cost more than 5$ ea.

I plan on running snow tires and summer tires on separate wheels. So I need a second set of sensors I think. Is it possible to run 2 separate sets of sensors? Does the truck automatically sense which set is on? Anyone know if there is a process to make the truck recognize the mounted set of sensors? Anyone have a part number for the sensors? Thanks so much

My plan is to put snow/winter tires on the factory wheels along with the new sensors. I hope the truck will just recognize the sensors without some programing

if your truck is a 2017, there is a step by step process in the owners manual, and on one of these convos on here that tells you how to reprogram your sensors. I do it each time I rotate tires, it’s pretty easy and takes about half an hour. You’ll need access to an air compressor because you deflate each tire for the truck to recognize them, and will need to put air back in.
