OK guys, my TPMS is throwing an occasional light even though the tires are aired up to 35 PSI. Batteries are probably going dead. Since I am having new tires put on next week, I would like to put in new sensors. Only problem, the 2007/2008 are kind of the bastard years for TPMS. The factory sensors are the banded sensors and are stupid expensive and require a special tool to install. So....

I have read a thread discussing a 2008 truck:

and looked on Oroteks website:

that both seem to suggest that the universal model will work.

Has anyone done this in a 2007 with success? I would really like to confirm before I spend $200 on TPMS sensors that may not work. I would also like to know about other valve stem mounted brands that have been successfully learned to a 2007 truck.

Thanks guys!

 

Just a quick note to follow up. Ended up getting Schrader EZ Sensor 33000 TPMS units. My brother is a MAC Tools guy so he was able to borrow me the tool to program these for my specific model year, although you can buy them preprogrammed as well.

Took 5 minutes total to program them and after installing them it was easy to relearn the truck (cycle ign 3 times, hit brakes, cycle ign 3 times, light up each sensor).
