QUESTIONS 21 TPMS SENSOR

Anyone ran into this problem, i have a second set of wheels (pro wheels ) & want to buy new Oem tpms sensors for it, parts guy send me a picture of them. and they have the rubber stem verses mines which its the old style with the sleeves. ?? help if you ran thru this problem. thanks

 

BUMP

 

Those look like the ones i bought from custom offsets. Just had them programmed today. They seem to be working. You should be fine.

 

its weird because mines are the sleeve style and toyota its coming up with the rubber stem kind according to vin. anyone with a 21 taco can shime in

 

My stock ones have a metal sleeve. The aftermarket are the same as the ones in your picture

 

Okay kewl, this one's are oem. So my guess their phasing out of the sleeve ones. I'll roll with it and see what happens.

 

My 2017 stock sensors are metal Schrader bodies.
Autel and other aftermarket sensors can be purchased either rubber or metal bodies. You just need to know the angle of the sensor needed for your new wheels.
The rubber body moves a lot more than metal, which is better for off-roading.

 

Not Tacoma, but my Sister’s 2020 RAV4 had rubber valve stems, and my brother in law’s 2020 RAV4 had metal valve stems.

seems Toyota is using both, maybe depending on factory.

my 2021 TRD Pro Tacoma came with metal stems, for what it’s worth.

 

That brass nipple doesn't go all the way through the rubber stem?

 

my 21 also came with aluminum sleeves, but i have a second set of wheels and want tpms sensors for it. and toyota is telling me according to my vin its calling for the rubber stem one.

 

My 2021 (built in Mexico in November 2020) has the metal valve stems.

 

Just get the rubber ones. They work just fine, probably better than the aluminum ones. The nut tends to seize onto the stem on the aluminum ones, and they can also break if hit off road.

 

i honestly don't care which one i get, I just don't want to find out the Hardaway. for example they not programming to the car. and having to dismount and mount. I am sure i will be fine just wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem.
