Default TPMS Not Working??

Well, I found a great deal on a set of Rubicon Wheels and Tires for my 08 Sahara Unlimited. I confirmed with the seller that they did NOT have the TPMS sensors any longer since he switched them over to his new Pro-Comp's and 35's. I confirmed this also because the valves in the 4 used tires were different than the spare (which I think he forgot about). I went ahead and ordered 5 new sensors from Discount Tire Direct (Thanks Travis and Ty for a great deal). Since it was only going to be a couple of days, I decided to put the wheels on without the sensors just to see how they rode. I have now driven about 30 miles with no idiot light or beeping of any kind. Could just the one spare (which may have a sensor) be tricking it to think that it has all of the sensors, or do I have to drive further for everything to reset itself??

30 miles and no noise??? I doubt the spare would "trick" the computer.... It should read that all the tires are inflated...

Default I knew it was too good to be true

I figured once I posted this it would happen, and sure enough it did. About 15 miles more on the way home from work and ding ding ding... I'm a winner!! I guess it just took longer than I expected to get the TPMS to recognize nothings their.
