Looking to buy some sensors for my aftermarket wheels, but the more I look the more confused I get. I read through the search results and found no answer. I have a 2022 Ram Classic with the 5x139.7 bolt pattern. On the Ram parts website and putting in my VIN it shows 434mhz on the sensors, but in looking at the superseded part numbers their specs go from 434mhz to 433mhz. Web sites I have visited either show 434mhz or 433mhz for my truck. So which is it? I don't want to fork out $200 plus for sensors that don't work. From what I got in the search results that the 434mhz is for the DT body style and the 433mhz is for the DS body, but can't verify. Sadly I don't trust most websites anymore and Google search has went to crap in finding useful information. I've though about aftermarket sensors, but they have a short life cycle.

XCELLR8, can I ask why you're needing to replace the TPMS sensors after only a couple years? I'm not doubting you, just trying to educate myself

I'm getting a set of aftermarket wheels/tires and I would like them to have TPMS sensors in them. I will run my OEM set in the winter.

You are on target then. I've got winter and summer wheels and they all have sensors, I hate having lights on the dash.
I think 2012 was the last year for 434 mhz. The sensors are 315 mhz.

Chrysler used 315 Mhz until around 2011

After that when FCA & Stellantis took over, they have used 433 Mhz

TPMS sensors are available in two frequencies: 315MHz and 433MHz.
=================================

By the way, your vehicles FOB, uses the same frequency as the TPMS

This is where the confusion starts. I agree and thought that the 433MHz would be what I need, but the ones listed for my truck have 434MHz on them.

If you go to the superseded sensors part numbers, they revert back to 433MHz. I know this is what comes up when my VIN is imputed, but am I getting this sensor due to it being a 2022 model truck? Are the 433MHz and 434MHz close enough to work regardless of what is programed?

BTW I have a 2022 Classic (DS)
