Dumb TPMS question

[T4RBoarder]

This makes me really feel like a newb but oh well. Do the 03 T4Rs have TPMS? I thought they did but when I checked my tire pressures the other day one was down around 20 but no light had kicked on.

I dont know if your truck has it or not but I do know that doesnt sound right. My spare tire was off by 5 psi and that kicked the TPMS light.

I believe they started in '04. Check your owners manual or the dash lights on start up for the "tire/exclamation" symbol. Not sure if you can tell by just the valve stem itself (are yours a bolt in metal stem?)

Kmvreter is right - TPMS was added in 2004.
