What this repair is

Each wheel carries a battery-powered sensor that reports tire pressure to the dash. The batteries are sealed and die after roughly 5–10 years, so sensors often fail one after another. Replacement means dismounting the tire, fitting the sensor, and teaching the car to recognize it — the relearn step is why this isn't just a parts price.

Is your quote fair?

If your quote lands between $163 and $1,184, it's inside the range where half of all real Ram 1500 repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 1 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
