The other thread got me thinking...I have an 04 FX4. The stock wheels are long gone, but I do have a set of the stock 20" OEM rims. I did notice that the wheels had the monitors inside. How do I know if my truck is equipped with the actual system in the computer?

 

I would assume there would be a warning light on your dash when you switch your ignition on if you have the TPMS

 

Oh ok. Well, I guess I have TPMS wheels and no TPMS on the truck. Oh well. Thanks!

 

TPMS is 07 and up.

 

+1 Some other makes and models had them before but the gov't mandated a percentage prior to Sept of '07 but after then all vehicles are supposed to have a TPMS.

"Phase-in started in October 2005 at 20%, and reached 100% for models produced after September 2007." says the oh so reliable wiki

 

No F150 before 07 has TPMS.

 

Great...Thanks guys!

 

Feel free to take my TPMS system, please....

 

wasn't tpms an option in 06? i thought i read that somewhere. i hate the tmps, i fixed that blinking led

 

Not that I have ever seen. It was mandated in 07 on the F150, but to my knowledge was never an option. Who would pay for something like that.

 

your right, i just checked the options and it seems it was never a factory option. actually i am going to get the TPMS on my new hauler, nice for that IMO. keep an eye on the wheels i can't see nor feel, and prevent an additonial tire blowout from being overloading 1 tire.

 

My 04 FX4 didn't have it until I put one of our Hella systems in.

 

I have an 07 and accidentally fixed mine. I put on new wheels without swapping the TPMS sensors. Blinking light drove me nuts. I recently installed an FX4 cluster from a 2006 without TPMS. No more light.

 

So what happened to your original mileage on the ODO?

 

The FX4 ODO is off by 19k. Going to see about getting it adjusted.
