ok guys i used to work in the lube rack of the dealer wilkinda uses so i am here to clear up any questions about the TPMS on the 2010 ford vehicles
it is correct that it is a whole new setup no more bands and clips or any of that. The setup is very similar to the dodge and chevy setup(i believe im not well versed with other manufacturers). You will be able to reuse the factory sensors but you will need to buy new valvestems and they use a certain special valve stem you cant just use any run of the mill valve stem. The new sensor is attached to the valve stem via a small screw that is easily removed with the tire broken down. If you want you can purchase a training tool from your dealership parts department if i remember right they arent too expensive and can be very handy to have if you like to play with your air pressures.

and yes i was let go the day after labor day for a reason i dont really agree with but i will not go into it on here because i still love Brandon Ford and do not want to drag their name through the mud in any way especially since i would love to go back and work there as a full tech one day once im more experienced
