Generic TPMS Sensor Recommendations

[Trail_Limo_Tim]

I am aware that Gladiators use two different TPMS sensors depending on the build date before or after a certain point. I have a 2021 Gladiator with a build date of late Oct 2020.

I'm putting together a new set of wheels and tires soon. I'd like to purchase some generic TPMS sensors from somewhere like Amazon (can I mention them here?) because the Mopar sensors are over $50 each at a discount. Could anyone recommend some generic TPMS sensors that are working well for them in the real world? Thanks.

I bought 4 oem mopar tps from fleebay for $35. Old stock I guess, but they are still working. You just have to look around. Good luck.

The tire shop only charged me $40 to transfer the stock ones to my new wheel/tire setup. Nice and easy since they are already synched to my truck.

Trying to avoid robbing the stock ones so I can sell the stock wheels and tires more easily with sensors in them. My local shop would probably charge me $80-100 to remove them if I had to guess, but I haven’t asked them about it specifically.

Buy new sensors with the new tires and wheels. It's much simpler to have one shop responsible for the whole thing.

I agree. This time I'll be doing the install at home with beadlock wheels, though. I still want to buy all new sensors.

Looking for any other recommendation on generic TPMS sensors that work well.

I did Shrader ones from Amazon. Paid $85 or so for 4 of them.

Be careful with aftermarket. If you use something like Staum deflators to air down. Some won't work that type of deflator. I can remove the valve completely and it still takes forever to air down.

You're saying some aftermarket TPMS sensors restrict the airflow out of the valve stem? I was planning on doing Apex rapid deflators. They accept TPMS sensors.

I don't think that'll be a problem with these.

Yep. I have that problem now.

I have not yet installed any personally, but looking at how most TPMS are made that include a valve stem… seems like the valve stems are most likely your problem, not the actual sensors. You probably just need different valve stems.

Yep. Valve stems. Have to break the bead to change out.

Yeah, that's a real bummer.

Did you have to program these with an OBD2 device?

I'm not sure. My buddy has a tire shop. I know he has the tool to program them, but don't know if he used it or not.
I also have the post tpms split, mine is a '22.
