^^ Those are not OEM Pacific sensors, they are aftermarket clones.

The service kit or pack is the "O" rings (Inner & Outer grommets), valve core, cap and locking nut.

They will probably work, but $50 for 4 sensors is ridiculously cheap

I bought mine from ebay for $65 used by pacific, I don't mind paying a little extra for the rebuild kit if I end up having to buy it. Hopefully the ones i order work out.

can they be programed when the tps is mounted in the wheel already? Or do they need to be unmounted from the rim?

Dealers have a reader to get the IDs of each sensor so no need to unmount the tires.

If you drop the pressure 5 psi rapidly, the sensor will broadcast its ID. No need to remove the sensors at all.

My only concern with the used sensors is battery life. They have a lithium cell built into the unit, and it does have a finite service life. If you purchase used, you really have no idea how much of the battery remains.
