I'm getting ready to purchase some 22's for my 06 and kept reading about the pressure sensor. 1st where can I get those sensors and 2nd are they easy to pull off from the stocks to reuse on the 22's? The place i'm getting the rims from are a mom and pop shop and are a ilttle iffy about them trying to pull them off my stocks and damaging them even though they say they can.

You can remove the sensors from the stock wheels and install them on most custom wheels. You may have to replace the rubber seal on the sensors; they are too small to seal on some custom wheels. Also you need to see that the sensors fit the new wheels OK, that the body of the sensor is not hitting the wheel and not letting the stem go straight through the hole in the wheel.
You also have to be carefull when removing /remounting a tire with the sensors installed. Look at the attachments for the proper procedure. If the person removing the tire doesn't take care he will damage the sensor.

Thanks for the info. Now where would i get the seals?

It might help to start searching for TPMS dealers from the manufacturer's website. Our Armadas use Schrader TPMS, here's the URL: http://www.schraderelectronics.com
I just swapped my stock wheels for 22s but decided not to transfer over the sensors from the stock wheels. I've made it a habit to always do a walk around on my vehicle prior to driving it, especially during long trips. For some reason, I cannot put my full trust in the monitoring system. I'd rather confirm using my own eyes and a trusty pressure guage. =P Just my preference though ofcourse.

Thanks for the reply, I managed to get a set of sensors so wont need to pull them off my stockies.

You will need to have the dealer re-program your car to recognize the new sensors. I did the same thing you did, cost $35 and about 1/2 hour of my time. There is another thread on this forum that describes what has to be done.

Even if they came off an Armada? These are not brand new sensors. $35 doesnt sound bad anyways to get them re-programed if needed.

The truck only reads the sensors that it is programmed to read. If you change the sensors, you will need to have the system reprogrammed at the dealer (tire shop can't do it for you).

You know I am kicking myself right now.:damn:

I bought my 22s and did not think of the sensors. Now my tire warning light is on and I have no idea what I should do. There is nothing wrong with the tires or the pressure. I have been riding around for a week and then 'bling'!

What do you recommend. Should I just disconnect the sensor by fuse or what? I am not looking forward to having the tires dis-mounted and re-mounted to put on sensors.:damn: :damn: :damn: :damn:

Some around here have said that the light will eventually go off, and only reappears once in a while. Other than that, I don't know of a solution.

I appreciate it. I will be checking for a solution... and hoping it turns off in the mean time!

after i put my rims on last night the light went off after like 15 mins of driving and it never went away even after turing off the car. I ended up going to the dealer today and reprogramed the TPS since they were used.

My light does turn off when I turn off the ignition. But as soon as I turn it on, there is the light. I am going to just live with it since I did not put sensors on my new rims.
