OK, from reading the various threads, here's what I understand to be true.

1. the sensors are wireless
2. the sensors only come pre-installed on the 4 main tires

Here's my questions.

1. Can I buy the extra sensors and add them to additional wheels? (i.e. the spare and the 2 extra rims I have)
2. IF that's possible, how would I let the truck know to track a different set of 4 (or 5) every time I rotated the tires?
3. Other than deflating a tire or 2, is there a way to test these sensors?

GREAT! Thanks. I'm sure I'm not the only person with that question.

I think the ECU only reconizes the 4 on the floor. When they do the reset it OBD says FL,FR,RR,RL.

I don't recall seeing one for the spare. It would not hurt to get the extra ones added and I also don't see why it would not register.

If they are stock yes, I would ask the board to see if someone has extras. They may give u a nice deal.

Thanks for the answers.

Once Bucs1 gets back with his answers, I'll probably put up a wanted thread.
