DIY - TPMS Sensors Alternative Solution
i bought a set of ebay for cheap, search tpms band
We put wheels on my Wife H3 yesturday. Stockers have the sensors in them ( if psi is off by 2 pounds the light comes on )...so they where a pain. NO light or warning issues with the new wheels and no sensors being in them....maybe the Hummers are diff than our trucks????
the company (American Tire Distributors) i work for sells them in your area (assuming tampa). Ask your local mom and pop tire store if they deal with them in your area. If so tell them you need the ford tpms band atd part #444000051

I was aware of TPMS way before they started putting them on vehicles. Absolutley stupid system, but going to all this trouble to trick the system when any REPUTABLE tire shop will have a tool that finds and calibrates them, or you can head back to your dealership... Is just idiotic.
just another example of the gov't interfering because people are stupid. now i am gonna install tpms on my new aluminum hauler, but that's different then on your car.
i just rednecked fixed mine, i ain't paying 2 times a year to calibrate the senors, phuc them apples

Got the sensors, bands and cradles all from Tire Rack. Installed them myself. Ford dealer reprogrammed the truck to see them for free. My TPMS system works as it suppose to. No light. - Og

Ok I got a set of 4 TPMS Bands off ebay for $40. (Link below) Once i install the sensor and the bands what prevents them from spinning around in the rim? Do you weld or tar the bands to the rim?

Nah, dude. You need the cradles. The cradles have adhesive on the back that adheres to the rim. The band also threads thru the cradle to hold it in place and the sensors snap into the cradle. I would see if you could find some cradles. Not very expensive. - Og
