Default 2008 f150 tpms

Hey all I recently got new rims and to switch over the sensors its gonna be around $90 a tire. My truck has the band sensors. I was wondering if I could use the valve stem sensors in my new rims as long as they were on the same frequency as the truck is? I found a set on ebay for $150.

Thanks all.

Sorry dude you need new sensors. I'm going through the same thing right now and I saw on eBay you can get new bands for $50 for all 4. I was just going to take off the old sensors and put them on the new wheels.

Your also going to have to use the old cradle but put some double stick tape on the back so they don't slide around in the wheel.

You'll obviously have to get them rebalanced too

Like black5 said...all you need is new bands...you have to cut the OEM bands to get the cradle and sensor off the stock wheels...do not pay $90 a wheel...should be less than $100 for them to swap all 4...they did mine for $80
