If you go the Amazon route (which I did and with prefect results) Also buy the little activation tool that sells for less than $10. Then, before having the sensors installed, lay a sensor on top of each tire and follow the activation process using the activation tool. This way you know all 4 sensors are programmed properly to your truck. Don't worry about remembering the location of each sensor when you activated them. The truck will learn their location and read properly once installed and mounted on the truck.
The tool activation process is not done via letting air out of the tires, but with the tool and following the correct directions.

You sure they don’t have to be pressurized to work?

If you haven't installed them yet they won't be active. The sensors go into a sleep mode when not in use to preserve battery life. They need to be rotated (as the wheel turns) several times to wake up. Once installed, you need to drive several miles before they will pair and show up on your TPMS.

From their Amazon ad:
Just check it. Specific steps are as follows Check Sensor in ATEQ VT46→Select vehicle brand and mode year →Select tire location then push button to trigger→Wake up sensor successfully.
