tire pressure monitroing system
tire pressure monitoring system..... reckon my truck has it heh. found out after i put my aftermarket wheels on. had a small feeling it had it. ok heres the question. how the hell do i get them off the stock rims and onto my aftermarket rims?
i busted a bead on one tire and its held on with a band. so is the band reuseable? is it a PITA to get off? talk to me....
i would like to swap them over to my rims myself then have the aftermarket rims and tires rebalanced even though they need it now with out the stupid sensor.
i know the easy way is to ignore the idiot light, but c'mon im paying for this damn thing i don't want a dumb light blinking at me.
also any info on he things would be cool too. how the system works in more detail than what i know which they monitor your tire pressure. what about when i air down my tires? will they get crushed? lol sorry so many questions.
so in a nutshell FILL ME IN!

imagine a blue sensor that held onto the wheel using a huge hose clamp. that's pretty much what Ford does.

The band are NOT reuseable BUT here is a site that sells the ford style bands and your sensor just clips to it... enjoy

darkstar_420 We had to order a new band at work for an escape and it was only like 30 bucks from ford so 120 bucks isnt that bad

all that holds the sensor from turning on the rim a stickey tape and the band is to keep the sensor from flying off the rim at speed.
this is all new to me and im makin the thread for 07+ ranger owners that are un aware of the damn thing, the ways of moving them over to aftermarket wheels.
fun learning curve lol
