Sensor battery life average is 8 to 10 years for factory units, and replacements seem to last half of that if you are lucky. These things have quickly become one of my best money makers. I buy them in bulk
I bought replacements for the Tacoma when getting new tires at Discount Tire. 3 out of the 4 were dead within the week. At least they didn't charge me again to replace them (all 4) again.

Yea, I bought Ford parts. I’m just hoping they haven’t been sitting on a shelf for 8-9 years somewhere.

I’m a boomer. I may drive fast on occasion, but I’ve never done a burnout with this car. Isn’t that a shame?
Where is the best place to buy replacements? Is there a widget to program them at home? Dealership wants crazy money to replace with OEM and program new ones for my wifes Jeep.
Wanted: Bikini cover for old school Trijicon 1x24 Reflex sight. IM please.

Try an online Jeep specialty shop. I bought mine at CJ Pony parts. $100 for all 4. Dealership wanted $75 for one. I’ve read on the Mustang forums that I don’t need to program mine. The 2015 will self program after 10-20 miles. Also try tpms.com or tire rack.
Edit: They do sell a programmer for my car, but it’s $40 and everyone says it’s a waste of time unless you’re swapping tires at a race track to race and you need to monitor tire pressure changes with temps rising.
