    You place all ALl 4 programmed sensors inside a pvc tube that is sealed on both ends and has a valve stem. You pressurize the tube to xxpsi. Voila all sensors see the right pressure. Drive around with the tube in truck and Eau is happy.

    I don't think this works with 3rd gen trucks. The newer trucks need to read which corner of the truck each sensor is located. One benefit is we get a digital read out of each tire pressure. I do also check them manually.
    Eta: I stand corrected. Sounds like it would work.

    From my research i have found that aftermarket sensors don't work well with the 3rd gen Tacoma's. The best options i have found are OEM or Denso, who makes the OEM sensors.

    Still works it is only reading what sensor is assigned to that corner not that it is actually in the corner.

    I never could find confirmation that it would work. May have to give it try. Seems like I read that when the tires are rotated it will eventually learn the new sensor location without pushing the reset button. I figured the computer would eventually get confused because it could not figure where the sensor is located.

    With all these problems, I am leaning on no TPS on the new set. I hear mixed reviews, this will work this will not work. Time to get a piece of black tape and just cover the light when it comes on. Thanks for all the advice and tips

    Game plan, no tpms on new wheels, I will block out that yellow light everyone is talking about with a piece of tape if it bothers me
