Hi all,
I just found this site lastnight. What a cool website.
I just purchased an '08 Ranger last month and I love it! But I am trying to find some info on it's Tire Pressure Monitoring System. I would like to buy some after-market rims for winter use, but it seems that will effect the TPMS.
I have heard the sensors are mounted inside the rims opposite the valve stems (for balancing purposes) and that even breaking down the tire from the rim to change tires, could possibly damage the sensor.
So if I buy another set of rims which don't have sensors in them, I will have a warning light on 24/7.
Anyone else have this problem?
