Going rate for TPMS’s
Get a new set of wheels off a 2026 for my 2018 F-350 dually and the sensors won’t talk to my truck.
What’s the round about going rate for 6 sensors installed ? I will need to buy the sensors too since I wouldn’t put the old sensors in
thank you

My tire dealer told me that new sensor's for my winter/2019 XL wheels, to make them talk to my 2025, would run app $65/each.
- Do new sensors require being calibrated, beyond just doing the Ford manual procedure, in order to make them work with my truck?
- If no extra programming beyond the Ford owners manual procedure is required, why can't I just break the bead and swap out the sensors?
Or why not drive as I did for 40 years, before TPMS became a thing?

That's about what I paid last year. Given all of the latest price increases, it could be more now?

Guess I need to find out if the 2024-2025 sensors can be programmed to be read by my 2018 truck.
I did a little reading and it appears the radio frequency they give out is different than the 2018s
I ordered the relearn tool so I’ll try that procedure first before I go to a tire shop

Coming in Friday and I’ll know right away if it works. The relearn tool was $12 on Amazon. If it doesn’t work I’ll be going to a tire shop and maybe they have a better tool

TPMS sensors are less than $30 for all 4. As Mattymax mentioned, the calibration tool is almost free. I have the Amazon version for Chevy, Ford, and Jeep, 3 different units, and they work quick and easily. Now find a friend with a tire machine to break the bead and swap out the sensors. Very easy.

As an update, I bought a set of 433MHZ programmed sensors from RockAuto. Delivered cost was $80something. I broke the bead on each of my '19 wheels and replaced the original 315MHZ sensors. After app 6 miles of driving, the truck recognized all 4 new sensors, with no further work required..
