All 5 are full so I just pull out the trusty wand and make sure they stay that way same as I have for all of my other rigs since I learned to drive.

I'll leave it that way till either I get enough time to bother with the TPMS bypass done by others on this forum (See: Write-up: How to Disable (Bypass) the TPMS or 2008 TPMS bypass ) or I need to have the tires removed from the rims for another reason when I'll have new ones put in. Which ever comes first. The bypass is likely MUCH easier than pulling the dash to remove the bulb. Though given the prevalence for the bulbs in the rest of this rig's dash and AC controls to go out it may just burn out from being on then you don't need to worry about it. ;)

Black tape on the dash is an ugly and lazy solution.

It literally takes 5 minutes to bypass the TPSM using the instructions you linked in your post. It probably took longer to type your post reply then it would have to bypass the TPSM.

Simply jump the wires with a small paper clip and the light is gone forever.

Here I even took the time to direct link the post with image for you:

Just do it already it couldnt be any easier

4 of my 5 sensors are shot in my 08. I was quoted around 1 grand for replacement at dealership (no thanks). Luckily its covered under the extended warranty I bought, so I'll be getting them all replaced. But ive been driving with the light on for almost a year now

Reach into your junk drawer, pull out the smallest paperclip you can find and it will do the trick.

I did not disconnect the battery.

Don't use a f_cking paper clip. Use the proper gauge wire and appropriate connectors. The same type of wire your jumping. We've talked about this before. I did this tpms bypass also. If you want to get cool results add a switch to your jumper wire. That way you can enable or disable the system if you ever fix the sensors. Nice if you air down off road a lot to turn off that dummy light. The switch installs in one of the blanks on the dash. I got a perfect fit switch from Napa for like $5. It doesn't take any extra work or time.

I would and did bypass them super easy process and also easy enough to check your tire pressures.

This is how I did mine. It’s been bypassed for years no issues and is totally reversible if you ever needed to go back
