You will have a light on in your dash, until you buy a Pro Cal to switch the light off. I bought those sensors for $50.00 each. Save the money and get the programer and you'll be happier.

Yes you can run them without the jeep exploding in a million pieces.

Yes, you will also have a light on the dash (unless you move your sensors to the new wheels)

Your options are a tuner or buy sensors......I just sold my sensors last week for $50 shipped for the set of 5- there are deals out there, keep your eyes open.

I don't have them in my daily driver, you get used to the light but a procal to turn it off would be nice.

Buy the AEV ProCal. You can eliminate the light (by setting your psi to 0) and also adjust your speedometer to your tire size which will keep your odometer accurate. With the ProCal you can do daytime running lamps and a few other features. Well worth the $150.

Good call. Those damn sensors break too easily and are too expensive to keep replacing.

I run the super chip programmer and no TPS.

My programmer allows the program to be turned off but the TPS override still active. That way no dash light when I go in for warranty work.
