    No cel for TPMS. Either live with the light, remove the gauges and cover the light with electrical tape (i believe it's LED), or buy a new set of TPMS and reprogram.

    Just catching up on some threads...I just replaced the TPMS sensors in our 05. Every place wanted over $100 per wheel and it was an after market sensor...the originals lasted me 12 years. I found the oem Denso ones at densoproducts.vom for like $30-40 and Pep Boys swapped them and registered them with the ecu for like $10 a wheel. Great place to find factory Denso parts for a good price!

    like a dream, more power than I ever needed, its funny though, I test drove a 4.7 v8 (mentioned way earlier in this thread) and it had power but no where near the power of this one. not sure whats different but that other v8 had plenty of power compared to my 3.4 v6 but only like 75% of the power this one has.

    it clocked in at somewhere around 338 miles traveled for the drive home, and other then me being dead tired, it was very comfortable, the seats felt great, and the truck averaged 17mpg with me doing 75-80mph the whole way on interstate and it "may" have been a touch better then that because I cant say the dealer topped it off completely full (they rarely do) but it was reading full on the guage when I left.

    thanks guys, those prices sound better then what I have been hearing, I will look into it some more.

    I found this bypass info, its so simple and easy to do, and undo, to go back to TPMS at any time so I think I may just bypass them. its only going to be my truck so I don't have to worry about someone driving that needs help noticing things like flat tires.

    how to bypass the TPMS
