in my 07 JK I just slapped them all in my spare tire... viola

but on a truck I drive daily with my family I like having TPMS

 

It would drive me nuts hearing that damn thing roll around while driving..

 

How did you get the sensors to come out of sleep mode? Or did you just put them in there and when they sensed movement from a bump they turned on?

 

Im not going to hear it roll around. Its going to be in a chamber inside my speaker box. Its nothing that padding on the inside of the box wont eliminate.

 

honestly I don't know. I just slapped them in there at the recommendation of other Jeep owners and it worked.

 

Not calling you cheap or anything but you can get a set of sensors off eBay cheap... and then have the TPMS system work.

 

I thought you could reuse the TPMS valves?

 

you can but most people sell the wheel/tires as a set and don't pull them apart to get the tpms sensor out.

 

why make a crazy pipe bomb for your truck when if your going to cheat the system like i did just put your stock sensors in your spare tire and your good to go,and to top it off its free,jmo fellas it just makes better sense to me.

 

Well you will need 4 of your pipe bombs, there are 4 sensors and you cant get away with only one of these........ so its not a $12 fix.... is a $48 fix. You can get those sensors for about $100 so your saving $52. And not having a good safty system work.. way to go cheapskate........
