Can I change TPMS (tire pressure monitoring sensor) from Band type to valve type on 2009 Ford E350

I believe my 2009 Ford E350 has the band type Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors, can I change them out to the valve type?

It's time for new tires and the sensors are either broken or dead... either way they need to be changed out. I have aftermarket wheels with BFG A/T K02's on them. I'm getting new tires (same ones) but want to bring the TPMS sensors with me to the shop so I do not get hit with that huge markup. I see a lot of sensors on eBay and Amazon for a pretty good price.

Suggestions/experience/options?

Just FYI anyone - I actually ended up just having the tire shop deal with it.... stayed with the "banded" type of sensor, somewhat based upon my rim type... not that a conversion to the valve type is not possible (according to the shop).
