Aftermarket tpms
Ok so here is the issue. I have 2 sensors that work and 2 do not and its time for new tires, so because I have a 1999 the sensors OEM are about as much as the tires. So after much research I have found that Schneider makes them and you can get them at Costco for around 80 bucks each. But they also have the Dill brand for 36 bucks. Has anyone had these sensors installed? And do they work.

I used the Titan brand on mine.Heard a lot of complaints but mine have worked fine.I think they were $145 shipped.Just make sure you can program them before you install them in your wheels.I can PM you the source if you are interested.

I just replaced my wheels/tires on my '97. My TPMS sensors worked OK, but had no idea if they were original or not, so I decided to replace them to avoid issues down the road.
I have read enough posts from others who had issues going aftermarket or rebuilding and I did not want to mess around, so I bought new Schraders. Not cheap for sure, but no issues programming them and so far no issues with them working.
PM me for the vendor URL if you are interested. Don't think I am supposed to post it here as I don't think they are a CF vendor.
Good luck!
