Default TPMS Question

I just ordered a set of rims for my 09. What do i need for them so my low tire pressure light doesnt come on? Ive never had this feature on any of my previous trucks so i dont know what all goes into it. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Either transfer your old sensors ore buy new ones, they are part of the valve stem. Replacements can be had for around 200 a set.

$200 or $2.00 a set??? Thats a big difference in the decimal point there!

No decimal point implies that the decimal is at the end...

I imagine that is 40 each, not for a set... could be wrong though.

^^ Yes. Well, they are screwd/bolted together to stay on the wheel, but yeah, they come right off. No silly bands or anything like Ford does to hold theirs on.

Aftermarket TPMS I've learned are finicky, don't last as long and have more light errors. $40 would be PER Wheel.
