Does a 2017 3500 Ram SRW have TPMS's?

I think It's TPIS? It has sensors.

 

[JPM]

I am not sure of the difference, basically I need to know if there is something inside the tires to monitor pressure? Can I use wheels and tires without such devises?

 

[AH64ID]

It has TPIS, which is the same sensors as TPMS without the low pressure warnings. So you get the befit of tire pressure on the EVIC without the annoying low pressure alarm when you run lower pressure when empty.

You can run wheels and tires without it, but I don't think the sensors are too expensive and the truck will easily adapt to multiple sets of sensors.

My 15 has the TPIS. I have a dually and am missing one of the wheels with a sensor in it. I do not get a tire light even missing the wheel. However, there is a message in the gauge cluster to service Tire pressure monitors. This message goes away after a few seconds on its own.
The 3500 system is greatly better than what i had in my 14 2500. Every time i started the 2500 it would default to the tire pressure screen even though i had the proper (high) pressures. I would then have to hit buttons to pull up the vehicle information screen. Both trucks are or were tradesmans. I hated having to setup the dash every time i started the truck.

IMHO it's not really all that great as it will NOT let you know what a tire get's low.

So if I installed a set of Ricksons without any sensors on a 2017 3500 Laramie 4X4 SRW Ram there would be a message than it would go away?

Mine has the message envelope icon on. You go to the message screen and that is where it says service tire pressure monitors. There and for a few seconds on startup.
The tire light should trip when the pressure gets really low. Not 2 psi low like the 2500 but more like 40 or so pounds low. I am not sure what the threshold is as i have never had a low tire. If there is no sensor there is not a signal that the tire is low. But, i am only missing one tire. Maybe it will do something different if they were all missing. The missing wheel is mounted with the sensor in the spare tire location. It is not finding a signal from it while it is there.

The sensor has to spin to turn on

Oregon is passing through it legislature a bill requiring all dealers who touch a vehicle during a sale to verify that the TPMS is in place, and is also telling tire/wheel distributors that selling wheels and not keeping in place the Federal Mandated system will be against the law...

My daughter just bought a used 2017 Suburban with 12,500 miles on it with new custom wheels and tires... she found that the TPMS was not in place and the dealer who sold her the vehicle just paid Les Schawb $400 to replace and activate them....


The dealer in question was afraid that in a few weeks the Gov. would sign into law the legislation and he'd be forced to repair it anyway so after the deal was done.... (3 weeks) he covered the cost...


I'm guessing that other states will follow suit..

BTW some of these sensors can be moved from wheel to wheel... and can be tested on the vehicle in a bay with a tool...

Do 2107 one ton trucks have them!?

 

[AH64ID]

Do 2107 one ton trucks have them!?

No. It’s not required on vehicles over 10K GVWR.

They have TPIS instead.

 

[JPM]

What is the difference?

TPIS - TMPS

I am not sure of the difference, basically I need to know if there is something inside the tires to monitor pressure? Can I use wheels and tires without such devises?

 

[AH64ID]

TPIS: Tire Pressure Information System. No set pressure to keep. No warnings.

TPMS: Tire Pressure Monitor Systrm. Set pressures and warnings for low pressure.

Wrong, the 3500 system NEVER alarms. As noted in another post.

TPIS: Tire Pressure Information System. No set pressure to keep. No warnings. 3500

TPMS: Tire Pressure Monitor Systrm. Set pressures and warnings for low pressure. 2500-

I would also note that when the tires are rotated, in a few miles the system figures that out all by it's self, and post the correct information. SnoKing

Interesting. That is not what i am seeing. That is not what is in my owners manual or diesel supplement. I do have the low tire light do a functionality test along with other warning lights on startup. Why have a non functioning lamp test itself. Also, i know we talk about the 3500 having a TPIS but nowhere in my owners manual is that acronym described or talked about. I believe a 3500 will throw a tire light when it gets very low. It just does not care what your pressures are until it gets dangerous. I may need to just air down to 20 in the front and go for a ride.

you might want to look in the owners manual and not the Diesel supplement....from the owners manual:

"Tire Pressure Information System (TPIS) 3500
Series Trucks
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Tire Pressure Information
System (TPIS).
The Tire Pressure Information System (TPIS) uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
transmit tire pressure levels. Sensors mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem transmit tire pressure
readings to the receiver module.
NOTE: It is particularly important for you to check the tire
pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle monthly and to
maintain the proper pressure.
The TPIS consists of the following components:
• Receiver module
• Four TPM sensors (Single Rear Wheel (SRW) applications)
• Six TPM sensors (Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) applications)
• Pressure display in the instrument cluster
The TPIS system will display all four (Single Rear Wheel
(SRW) applications) or six (Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) applications)
tire pressure values in the instrument cluster
display.
If a system fault is detected, the instrument cluster will
display a SERVICE TPM SYSTEM message for a minimum
of five seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place
of the pressure value to indicate which sensor is not being
received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no
longer exists, the SERVICE TPM SYSTEM message will
no longer be displayed, and a pressure value will display
in place of the dashes. A system fault can occur due to any
of the following:
• Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as
the TPM sensors.
• Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains materials
that may block radio wave signals.
• Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.

So there I have it ,3500's have wheel sensors and you need them with aftermarket wheels but the display is not too hard too ignore if you don't.
I am thinking about a newer 3500 and installing my Ricksons on it .
But I am not disturbing the tire to wheel seal or changing stems on my Ricksons to install sensors, they never leak or loose air.

My 2015 owner manual has this:

A vehicle ICON is displayed with tire pressure values in
each corner of the ICON.
• Tire Pressure:
– Tire Pressure Information System (3500 Series
Heavy Duty Ram Trucks)
– A vehicle ICON is displayed with the tire pressure
values in each corner of the ICON.
– If the Tire Pressure system requires service, “Service
Tire Pressure System” is displayed.
– Tire Pressure is an information only function and
cannot be reset.
– Refer to the Tire Pressure Information System
(TPIS)” under Starting and Operating for further
information.


NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Information System (TPIS):
• The Tire Pressure Information System (TPIS) uses
unique sensors in the inner rear wheels to help identify
them from the outer rear wheels, because of this, the
inner and outer wheel locations can’t be switched.
• After a tire rotation is completed, as shown below, the
system can auto learn the locations of each sensor ID.
Auto learning/localization occurs when the vehicle
ignition status is changed from Off to On and speeds of
greater than 5 mph (8km/h) are obtained and remain
over 5 mph (8km/h) for at about a 15 minute period.
You may need to drive for 20 minutes to account
slower speeds and stops.
• If the tires are rotated incorrectly, The Auto localization
of the TPIS sensors will fail to locate correctly resulting
in incorrect locations for the pressure values displayed
in the Instrument Cluster.

The very first response to your question told you there where sensors, and multiple times since then.

I'd get sensors for the Ricksons, but that's just me.
