TPMS and 6GR wheels

[Tomster]

Any of you 6GR wheel users install new TPMS sensors? If so, did you need the training tool to complete the install?

Thanks

OEM S550 TPMS sensors self train. Can't speak for aftermarket that may or may not.

I have OEM sensors. If my 6GR wheels are the third set of wheels I put on in a row (this happens with any set of wheels I have), I have to program them.

So... started from stock, went to Project 6GR. No programing needed.
Put on my road course wheels, had to program. Now it has the Project 6GR and road course wheels because put the 6GR wheels on and they didn't require programing but if I put the stock wheels back on instead, I have to program them.

It's as if the car only holds two sets of TPMS to recognize. Weird thing...

Very good. Well explained. Thanks! I just plan to have an extra set of wheels between two 350's. Thank you again!

Thanks, this extra wheel set will be used for both cars on and off. So 1 extra set for two cars should work just fine.

How long does it take for the new set of TPMS to self train? ive driven 30 miles and i still have the warning light. Is there anything special i have to do?

I had to activate and program mine with a tool.....never linked up on their own.

The ones I got from Paul (6GR) worked fine. No issues.

Side note: isn't it RIDICLUOUS how much TPMS costs from a tire store? I got mine on Amazon - all 4 of them for <$100. Kauffman tire wanted to charge me a whopping $100 PER TIRE to install TPMS if I hadn't brought them. And they charged me "rebuild" labor to install them, which I didn't bother getting worried about. But otherwise... $100 per wheel?! Huh?! They said they have to factor in the labor to set the TPMS sensors. I showed them it took 1 minute. Not $100x4 minutes...

There are three different sensors listed for GT350. Vin specific. My new ones linked right up.

I wonder if thats why mine isnt working. I just got back from ford and had them try their tool. They said that they couldn't read any of the 4 sensors with their tool. They took my vin # and looked up the sensors and ordered me 4 more, should be in tomorrow.

Every gt350 6gr setup ive done used oem sensors.

I searched for the part on the ford parts website and it says the part number is TPMS-39. Is there anything else I need for each wheel?

Thanks
