TPMS Sensor Replacement

I just thought I'd share. I found this site from searching the forum.

http://www.titantpms.com/tpms/chevro...re-Sensors-SET

I needed replacement sensors for my 98 but 100 bucks a sensor is hard to swallow. They work great and a fraction of the price for stock ones.

Very interesting price wise.
From their instructions : "9. Starting at left front tire, increase/decrease tire pressure until horn sounds."

I haven't seen this learning procedure before. Anyone else??

That's a good price for the '97-00 sensors. As long as they work, hard to beat that deal.

I had them installed at discount tire. I think they used the instructions that came with the sensors. I can't remember how they sycnd them.

Quick question: they say 4 pieces on title but then in the detail list they say 'quantity required: 4'...so does the $56 cover all four wheels? Or do I have to order 4 to get the full set?

56.69 is for all four sensors as shown in the picture. order quantity of one as it is a set of four.

Really? That would be insanely cheap even for late-model ('01-'04) sensors.

If you order Chinese, you can get "insanely" cheap. Quick example. LR44 batteries (the small ones you stack 3 or 4 in small flashlights) here in the US are anywhere from roughly $1 to $2 each but I bought a pack of 50 from China for $5 shipped to my house (it was $2.99 + shipping). 100 pack is $8.50 and so on. Might just be worth a shot... Wonder how long they'll last though. I kinda have a feeling that the Chinese batteries are a smidge inferior.
