2024 Maverick - How to be sure you are buying non-counterfeit, but affordable, TPMS Sensors.

[FischAutoTechGarten]

Folks,
I sourced TPMS sensors from Amazon, purchasing 4 high-end ones.. Schrader EZ-Sensor GO 33560. Sync'd with the truck at time of tire install, but since they have dropped out frequently for days at a time, 2, 3 or all 4 of them. Obviously, I don't drive far enough for them to re-sync.

How are you folks avoiding spending $200+ on 4 TPMS sensors for your Mavericks?

Is it worth buying a programmer and seeing if I can do something different with them to get them to stay connected?

Buy from a reputable source and not from the online equivalent of the back of some sketchy person's car.

Believe my post suggested to discerning members that I was looking for a reliable source... But thanks for the absolutely useless response. Super helpful... Appreciate the respect...

I would return to Amazon but not sure where to buy new ones.

While an option later to recover the losses from an inferior purchase, I will need to source four decent ones while I have all four tires pulled off their rims to install them and then train them afterwards ...

Hard to take the $260 estimate from tire shops... Perhaps I am being unrealistic in my expectations?

Is this the correct Ford/Motorcraft part #?

With even the Maverick switching the frequency between years, I'm apprehensive to purchase anything that isn't specifically for the 2024 Ford Maverick. I'll need to do research... But again at the price, not sure how I can be sure they aren't counterfeits? They're nearly 40% of the apparent bootleg ones I already have...

FWIW, when I had my first '24 Lariat (non-Tremor), I bought this wheel set from Ford Performance, which included the M-1180-B TPMS kit, which synced perfectly.

They appear to be 315mhz.

I would just do without them. My 65 Fury didn't have them, along with 10 other cars. I know this is no help.

Odd... Entered in 2024 Ford Maverick and came up as incompatible. Well, mine sync'd perfectly originally, but drop out all of the time. So, Search continues.

 

[OleFordGuy]

It "appears" to me these are the correct oem part #'s as shown on fordparts.com, about $80.00 each. No idea why two different frequencies are shown. Probably be best to go see your local ford dealer to be positive. Good Luck.

Part #: TPMS35 (F2GZ1A189A) - 315 MHZ
OR
Part #: TPMS74 (F2GZ1A189G) - 433 MHZ

 

[FischAutoTechGarten]

2022/2023 used 315Mhz, 2024 uses 433Mhz.

The Schraders I purchased are configurable as 315 or 433...

 

[Glen Baker LLC]

Now I wonder what would have happened if you had gone with the cheaper TPMS??

Generally the North American trucks are set for 315 and the European are set for 433. Check with scan tool what frequency the tpms are using. Maybe you can change the truck to the other frequency easier than the tpms. If they are connecting and then dropping out maybe their batteries are defective or are too old. A new tpms battery should last up to 10 years or 125k miles whichever comes first.

Perhaps the ones I purchased are real, but distressed inventory with spent batteries. Who knows? Looking at other threads here on the subject on MTC, the TPMS specs are all over the place. Honestly appears you can use 315 or 433.. Maybe mine are setup for 314.9 and therefore are sketchy? (The Shraeders support those 3 modes).
