    I have a bad TPMS sensor in one of my wheels. Since I need tires anyway I figured I would replace them all. Does anyone have a certain brand they had luck with or will any ones off Rockauto do?
    TIA

    Opps, I went the other way,

    Old guy here, been checking my tires for years, TPMS sensor over the price of a tire valve. Nope.

    Normal valves, and took the dash apart and sent the idot light to its final countdown....

    Amazon.com: MORESENSOR Signature Series 315MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor 4-Pack | Preprogrammed for Select 200+ American Brand Models | Replacement for 9L3Z-1A189-A | Clamp-in | NX-S025-4

    These fit my f150, but I have the same brand on my Tacoma, a Jeep Wrangler, as well as the Tacoma. They have been workinug for 2-4 years with no issues.

    I replaced the ones in my Ford and Tacoma proactively before the old ones went bad. The Jeep was bought used and did not have sensors when I bought it.

    I bought the Densos from RockAuto. They worked great and since the dipshits at discount tire sent my wife away in my truck with a TPMS light on, when I brought it back, they replaced them all at no charge. I just had new tires installed a couple of weeks ago.
    The TPMS light saved my bacon on a trip many years ago. I'll always make sure mine work.

    All stock, baby!
    Or directly From Denso themselves, which is what I did. Figured no chance of counterfeits that way, and the price was IMO reasonable.

    For my Chevy Volt, I went with a set from Amazon, MORESENSOR brand, $60. Had a bazillion reviews, mostly positive. Just installed this weekend, Discount Tire folks programmed them up no problem, and they seem to be working fine.

    I bought the Densos from Rockauto. My tire service shop put them in for me and programmed the TPMS computer to their codes without me even having to ask (or pay). Some places will probably want you to pay.

    Has worked perfectly. I'd rather have a functioning system than disabling a perfectly useful safety system. I killed a rear tire in my car years ago because the rear tire deflated slowly as I was driving on the highway straight and level at high speed and didn't make itself obvious until the sidewall had overheated and blew out. Had I had TPMS I probably would have received an alert and stopped to check before I lost the tire and endangered the alloy rim.

    Thanks for all the info . I was leaning towards the Denso ones think I'll probably go that way
