    I am having a “TPMS malfunction see dealer” error and I have tried everything including the recommendations in this sub https://www.tundras.com/threads/2018-tpms-malfunction-see-dealer.107096/

    I took it to the dealer I bought the truck from (I negotiated brand new set of tires at time of purchase) and they stated the following:

    “it seems like none of the sensors are reading, the mechanic said it's sometimes happens with these sensors, especially if they're cheap ones, once you changed the tires they stopped working. He said that if you bring him sensors he can install them for you for a fee”

    The fee to install and program is $80; is this a good price?

    I was looking for OEM sensors and I found these (they look suspiciously cheap so not sure if they are true OEMs) https://www.ebay.com/itm/3358181197...486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Should I buy these sensors and pay $80 to get them programmed and installed?
    Any advice is welcome at this point.

    For starters, have the dealer verify the part number that you need for your VIN. There are different parts numbers based on trim level, push button start, etc. If your truck is a 2020 or newer, you definitely want OEM sensors as most aftermarket don't work with newer model years.
