TPMS Sensors - Where to Buy

[jerkyboy]

Putting snows on my stock wheels and have purchased a set of new wheels my spring/summer/fall tires. I'm going to buy TPMS sensors for the new wheels and am looking for advice on which ones I should buy and the best place to order them.

It was last January when I purchased them so ebay wont show the details of the purchase but I'm pretty sure the part # is 13598773

And pay attention. There are many Sensors in OEM Packaging that aren`t OEM. These are just cheap chinese fake ones, that don`t really work. Learned my lesson the hard way and had to change them two times. I bought real ACDelco on Rockauto. Just remember, the real OEM sensors cost about 120$ for 4. If you`re seeing 4 sensors for 40$, they`re probably fake.

Without you telling us your year model it’s anybody’s guess.

For the 1500s yes. But the RPO Code can say it definitely. XL6 and XL7 are 315Mhz and XL8 is 433 Mhz. (No guarantee)

Amazon and eBay would be the best options because you can go with any option after analyzing the reviews. However, you can also consider Discount Tire Direct, WheelMax and 1010tires.

I shop around like most,  Rock Auto, then to Ebay and then Amazon and the local dealer.  Some times the dealer is the same price and no shipping is involved.  Just have to do your homework.

ok just finish re-installing the sensors, these cheapo amazon ones worked great so far.
