Review on πŸ”§ Dorman 609-142 Tire Pressure Monitoring System Valve Kit: A Must-Have for Select Models by Eddie Kittylovin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits OEM in Tires and Wheels

This is a valve stem on Shrader 28214 TPMS sensors commonly used by Mercedes and Chrysler. Fits perfectly. Six dollars and no retraining compared to over $50 for a completely new sensor. The dealer and workshop will often tell you that if something is wrong with the valve stem, you need a brand new sensor. You are not using this TPMS model. The valve stem is independent of the sensor. The cost of the in-store sensor is $200 per wheel. A word of caution: if you plan to do this at home without special tools, remember that tires are not part of normal car care. While it's possible (I did two yesterday in about an hour with no tire tools), I don't recommend it unless you really know what you're doing. If you take the part to the store it shouldn't cost more than repairing tires to install ($25-30).

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
