Inexpensive TPMS sensors

[Tricky Dick]

********EDIT: I'm withdrawing my recommendation.**********

TPMS sensors have been covered before but I'm just putting this out there for anyone uncertain about which cheap ones work. These worked flawlessly and were displaying updated pressure by the time I could toggle to the right screen.

4 pack and a single for about $40 total. Any F2GZ-1A189-A sensors should work, but these particular ones are now confirmed.

Thanks for the links TD!
IMO, it amazes me why folks remove them from one set of tires to another instead of just buying an extra set of sensors. It costs a lot more to mount and balance a tire let alone the damage that could be incurred when the tech has to monkey with it.

ebay TPMS tend to be counterfeit, the last set of eBay "OEM Ford" sensors I bought lasted 2 years.

Buy your TPMS sensors from Tire Rack.

Oh I'm sure they are. But they worked out of box and are easy enough to change at home with a hi-lift to break the bead.

I got a full set of 5 for barely more than one from Tire Rack. They all work fine now and I'll take my chances on longevity.

This! If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Read the listing carefully. The Brand name on these is " Goodqualitycarparts". Hardly OEM. No way I'd bother with Chinese crap when you can buy actual Schrader's for $25-35 each.

I have a tire machine in my garage so I don't strangle someone for damaging my wheels, not worth saving a few dollars to change out cheapchinacrap on a $50k vehicle.

do broncos come with a tpms in the spare?

I run the ones off ebay there are still good ones that are extensively cheaper. The last set I did was in 2017 and they still work. I just bought another set for a different set of wheels (non bronco) just make sure to run the cross references and correct MHZ.

I still see some debate on this but there has to be for it to readout on the display when using a spare. I added one to my spare to be safe.

Apparently these particular sensors report the same pressure no matter what. I've had my PSI all over the place and they always report 38-39. I'm withdrawing my recommendation, don't buy.

Interesting. Was that the same psi of your old wheel set-up? If so, I am thinking the new sensors never worked to begin with or didn't pair with they system. I was jacking around with my BL a couple of weeks ago and put a set of wheels on the back that did not have sensors. I figured the TPM readout would change to 0 but it remained at the 36psi of the previous tires even after driving about 5 miles. I then lowered the previous tires to 30psi and put them back on and the TPM readout immediately changed to the correct reading.

Matter of fact, yes it was. I assumed they had to have paired because I never got a TPMS error.

I never received an error either after driving 5 miles without any sensors. Monitor just continued to read the old psi rating.
