Schrader TPMS Sensors

[Southbay]

I'm sure someone here has used them in the past, are they any good? Not a bad price on Rock Auto.

NAPA by me has them in stock for $47 each. Any reason not to get Schraders for 1/2 the price?

Yes, Schradrs are the ones I think that make the OEM ones, I used a set on my 392 Charger when I put 315's on the back, instantly connected read correctly.
Got em here.

I buy off of that RA website when i need something that they carry

With TPMS, you just have to sure whether the vehicle uses 315 or 433 MHz

most aftermarket sensors run both frequencies now as long as you got a way to copy/program them you will be fine

Your TPMS wheel sensor frequency has to match the TPMS module frequency that is located in the left front tire area, behind the inner fender cover

Well, just went to pick up the truck, new wheels and tires mounted, and they tell me that not one of the Schrader TPMS sensors worked, they couldn't even read them with the scanner. They stuck my old ones in which linked up and worked, until I got in and started the truck and they weren't connected at all. They check again with the scanner and all 4 were dead. So the new ones don't connect at all and the old ones just died on me or were probably already dead and never connected, had just enough juice to connect one time and then all died. I guess I will try tpms.com that Greygoose posted above and get some new ones and send these back to RA.

Anyone ever hear of all 4 brand new TPMS sensors not even be able to be read?? The shop (Mavis) also said they are half the size of the ones that were in my old wheels. I don't get it. I plugged my make, model and year into RA and this is the sensor that came up. They are 433 MHz, so I don't get it. What a hassle. Should just maybe pay double and go spend $46 per sensor at the NAPA down the block.

I actually had the same thing happen with some I bought on Amazon. I bought a set of tires for some new-to-me OEM 20" wheels from FBMP at Pep Boys and they said that the sensors didn't read with anything they had there and the guy even went to a sister store, only for them to not read there either. I thought the guy might have been BS'ing me but he said if I came back with ones that work, he'd unmount install TPMS / remount the tires again free.

here's the sensors I had bought

That seems pretty weird. If all four worked when you rolled in, MAYBE one might have died during the swap. But all four? These things usually live 7 to 10 years. Every time I’ve ever needed to replace them, ONE would start getting weak and not reading all the time. The thought that all four would die at once is a bit much to believe. Something isn’t right.
