Holy run on sentence.

In 08, you should be able to relearn without a tool. Have you tried that?

Yes sorry about that was using the talk feature on my phone. But I try letting the air out as well as putting air in, when I let the air out nothing happens , No beep or nothing just a flat tire

I just did this a couple of days ago with my 2009 after having the tires rotated and balanced and a dead sensor replaced. The tire store could not get it right as they were not doing it right.

First, get any sensors not installed out of the way and the same for any remotes.

Next, turn the key to the on position, engine not running. Then press both lock buttons on your transmitter at the same time. The horn will beep twice and the light on the LF will illuminate signifying that this is the first wheel that you are to let air out of. Let air out or in for about 8 seconds and wait for a single beep, then the RF light will light up and do that wheel the same way until the horn beeps. Then move to the RR and LR. The horn will beep twice when the LR has learned.

You have two minutes for the LF wheel to learn and 5 minutes total. If not, you'll have to start over.

I tried activating the learn procedure with my Tech2 and it did not work. I later learned that doing it this way requires the use the "magic wand" tool.

Mine did the same thing, you need the orange tool.

Well, when I tried it the first day, the Tech2 way and then the remote way, the horn did beep twice but the lights did not come on, it was never going to work. Put all the remotes away, the extra sensors away and tried again in the morning and it worked as it should.

If your truck did not originally have remotes, there is another way to get it going which escapes me at the moment.

That’s what I got

Went to a local shop they’re going to charge me $80, they said they have to change the trucks computer around to read the sensors part number or something to that extent. They said that the trucks computer is still reading like I have the original sensors and it bud when read I’ll lady I have three new ones and one old one. They said something about they have to do that and wake up the new sensors pretty much.
