The low tech method

Hi, just thought I'd chime in with my solution (borrowed from an earlier TN message board contributor) to a constantly lit tpms light.

When I switched my wheels to Ivan Stewart 16x8s, the dealer confirmed what I already knew going in. The sensors would not fit the IS wheels. When I got the truck back, I had a solid TPMS light.

Thanks to a TN forum search, I saw that someone suggested using a handtruck (dolly) wheel from Home Depot to contain the sensors. I went to home depot and found a small 8" wheel for $20. I placed the 4 sensors into the tire and inflated it to 35 psi. The light went out right away. It's been about 2 weeks now and no light. I keep the tire in the rear storage compartment behind the back seat in the double cab.

The hardest part was getting the tire back onto the rim.
