    I need to get new TMPS sensors. I have a choice to get the Denso from Rockauto, these are the one most people get from rockauto. OEM Replacment (Programed). All 4 for $139.56.

    Amazon has some real cheap Marsflex for $31.89 for all 4.

    The Denso has a stated longer lasting battery. Not sure if it's best to get good ones or go cheap.

    Has anyone used the Denso off rockauto? What about the supper cheap, less lasting Marsflex?

    Thank you,
    emb

    I just replace the batteries in the original ones and they become like new.
