I want to get new wheels for the whip, but how can I find out if my vehicle is equiped with the TPMS-Tire Pressure Monitouring System??????

when you turn on the key do you see a little orange tire that is flat on the bottom on the interment panel

i forget...I'll check it out in a little bit. If i have to get new ones will the system recognize them or will i have to get it reprogrammed ? If I do get new ones where can I get them cheap. I've seen them for 50 a piece but thats kinda high.

squirrelyyy

$50 a piece were every where I've looked is around a $100 as for the reprogrammed part of question not sure but I wouldn't think so

I saw them at national tire and wheel (ntwonline.com) for 50.00. so I guess thats cheap from what your sayin ???? I dont think my truck has the tire icon when I start my vehicle so im assuming I dont have the TPMS.

dont think the 04-05 have them think it became standard on 06-06models if you have them ford sales a peart for around 20 bucks that lets you reprogram yourself from other threads and forums ive seen

just let a little air out of one of your tires if you have them it will come on the light comes on when the pressure drops 2 or 3 pounds below 30 or 32psi. why dont you just take the ones out of the factory tires and wheels and have them put in the new ones all it is is a metal band that holds them to the inside of the rim. if you get new rims and tires the only time youll put your factories back on is if you have a flat or your tires go bald and and you have no money to buy new ones. but whats a little light on the dash anyways just put a pic of your old lady in front of it to hide it

I live in NE P.A. and I will be putting my stock wheels back on every six months for the winter time. I let air out of the tire and no lights came on so I think I'm safe....As for the "picture of my old lady" idea, I dont have one. Do you really think I would be able to buy stuff i dont really need like Wheels and tires if I had an Ol' Lady.....come on.
