TPMS sensors

[petyweestraw]

Saw this on a Tacoma forum and did it fir friend who got aftermarket wheels but didn't want to bother with swapping sensors.

Took a three inch pvc pipe. Capped of one end.

Wrapped the sensors in bubble wrap and stuffed them inside. This stops them from rattling around inside.

Drilled a hole for a normal rubber valve stem in the other cap.

Glued that cap on the other side.
Let it cure over nite.

I used a foot pump Cus I didn't want to over fill it too fast and I pop with a compressor.

Set it to 35psi. Its been riding under his rear seat for a few months and no warning light.

I turn TPMS off on all my trucks.

I understand that in today's world of idiocracy and lawsuits, TPMS is here to stay, but I have survived twenty years and hundreds of thousands of miles on the road maintaining my tire pressure the old fashioned way, so fuck that

Intrigued by the Taco fix....but wrapping in bubble wrap then pressurizing is not a great idea. Bubble wrap is filled at atmospheric pressure or STP, compressing to 2-3 bar will reduce the volume accordingly and reduce its effectiveness. Try PE foam or latex foam.

Maybe but it worked.

I know the GM sensors we have here you have to replace the valve stem's because they don't come out of the old rim without damaging them. Only a 9 dollar part. Now does anyone know if I can use the GM sensors in my 07 mustang. If i look at replacements online, they look the same and have the same 315Mhz. I dont want the band style setup anymore.

Yes u can put the gm STYLE in your car. U just have to get then programmed for your car. We sell them for $40 a piece.

Did this in my Magnum and it worked great

Like Cooter said, can't you just turn them off? Lmao @ rolling around with a pipe bomb under your seat. I bet that gave them a "I'm smarter than my truck" feeling lol.
