Tpms

[Bluegoose]

Anybody know how these work on the 2010? Was told the if I try to put larger tires on the stock wheels I may end up paying a bunch for new sensors,,,also if I change out wheels,,what then? these things seem to me to be a pain in the arse

Hey! Welcome to the forum!

I don't know much about the TPMS set ups, other than tire shops hate them!

The (factory) ones I've seen have been incorparated into the valve stem, making changing tires are a pain, becuase of the sensor/sending unit hanging inside the wheel.

Changing wheels, you should be able to install the sensors into the new wheels. My dad did this with his Suburban when he went from 16" to 17" wheels and taller tires. The sensors work fine for him.

None of my rigs have it, so hopefully some Jeep owners who have them can shed better light on this for ya.

Remove them completely and do what this guy did.

I have them on my WK. I installed larger tires with no problem as they go off of tire pressure not size. As far as new rims, don't know if you can switch them over or not.

Buy from NTWonline and they can include the sensors for your specific vehicle. Even mount and balance with new sensors if you buy a total package.

If you are only changing tires you don't have a problem, they will work. If you do change the tire pressure +/- 20% from the stock pressure you will get an alarm unless you reset the computer. The dealer or a Superchips Flashpack can do that for you.

You can switch them into different wheels. You just have to have the people change them when they take your old wheels off. Many places will want to install new ones, especially online. They cost around $40 or more per wheel to buy new. As far as getting new sensors to be recognized by the system, I have been told that all you have to do is drive around for several minutes. I don't know if that is correct or not.

I just put my tires onto new Black Rock wheels, without the sensors. All you need is the AEV Pro-Cal Module. Use it to set the computer at 0 psi, and you're set. Got mine here:

I moved the stock TPMS sensors from my factory wheels to my ProComp steelies. I also bought an AEV Procal to adjust the pressure setting ... you'll need something like this to adjust for tire size anyways. The computer does not like a different size tire without being recalibrated. I used the Procal to adjust to a 35" tire and drop the TPMS threshold to 24 psi. (Running 30 psi on the street) The dealer can make these adjustments as well but many won't and at dealer rates the $110 for the Procal may be cheaper!

I think the cheapest route is to build the pod for the sensors, bit the AEV procal is a good tool to have and is not that expensive.

i changed my tires and wheels a few months ago. i just didnt screw with putting them in. you will get 1 chime at start up and the small idiot light on the dash. i dont even see the light anymore, guess im use to it now.
