Working on an old Ford with steel wheels, and was thinking of installing an aftermarket TPMS kit. Any recommendations, thoughts??

Thnx

You just have to use valve stem TPMS sensors but how would you monitor them?

They make TPMS aftermarket kits that come complete with sensors, synching tool, and receiver to mount in the car. You can find them Amazon or other sites.

Why? Seems like a waste of money to me.

Cos maybe he wants to keep it stock, it's not driven much and/or he doesn't want to have to check the tires every time he wants to go for a ride so he will rely on the monitor? Just some ideas as to why..Don't know the ops actual ideas.

And besides being only 50/$60 to start for a kit, it's cheap insurance.

Not a big fan of TPMS in the first place. Won't mention the type of car but one of mine will go down 7 psi before the sensor alerts me. The TPMS made me lazy because I used to check the tires every month at a minimum.

Hi, I have an question about the TPMS aftermarket ones. Does someone know which frequency I need. I saw 315Mhz and 433Mhz. Thanks!

What year car? If it does not already come with TPMS, the frequency does not matter because the kit is independent.. The only reason frequency matters is if you are trying to replace a sensor for an existing TPMS system.

It's for a 2007 Shelby GT-H. I want to replace the ones on the rim.
