i actually did a write up somewhere on here........ basically it costs about 20.00 in materials, it is basically a small air tank that you put your sensors in, fill up with 38psi and your good to go, it sits in your trunk and fools the computer, i have had one now for a month and it works perfect. no issues what so ever.

in short:
12 inch peice of 3" pvc
X2 PVC end caps
PVC glue

1) glue one cap on one end
2) drill 3/8 hole in other cap and use one sensor as the valve stem for the canister
3)adhere other cap with sensor to the other end with sensors inside.
fill and your good.

do a word search it should have a more comprehensive write up

Just curious what happens when you just don't install the TPMS sensors? Just get a warning light?

im working on a strapping system right now that should work well. I have the heavy duty straps...which compared to the ones supplied by HRE...are alot stronger. I have also made some brackets to mount the TPMS to the strap...made them at work on an CNC punch and autobrake.

I'll post pix once I have a chance...I might be selling an extra set I have too.
