TPMS on my 2018 2500

My other reason is just the hassle of airing up every time I hook up the trailer. Maybe it's my air compressor but my tires take air very slowly.

With some experience on how the tires look, you can judge whether or not to air up to 80. It all depends on the trailer tongue weight, the distance you are going and the highest speeds. (a 5,000lb trailer with 500lb tongue weight is like having two of your big friends going for a ride.)

My other reason is just the hassle of airing up every time I hook up the trailer. Maybe it's my air compressor but my tires take air very slowly.

I use a clip on air chuck that attaches to the tire valve stem. It is also on a quick connect air hose fitting. So I can clip it on to air the tires and without the air hose use it to let air out.

With my 275/70R18E's I go frum 40 empty to 80 when towing the 16K 5th wheel, a pallet of pavers or other heavy load in the bed.

I can tell by to sound of the air rushing out when I am in the 40 lb range. The truck empty rides much better with 40 pounds in the rear tires. May put Rancho 9000's on the rear. Had them on my 2001.5 and really liked them.

I did this, it hides the TPMS light and the headlight on light. I used 10 Mil Pipe Wrap Tape.

I will have to put that on my list to do

The AEV Pro Cal module can also be used to lower the TPMS threshold.

The Pro Cal can adjust the pressure thresholds BUT it cannot update the RFH (radio frequency hub) which is necessary to remove the warnings. You'd be required to go to the dealer for that and many dealers are refusing to perform that update. You'd also have to pay their programming fee and my local dealer wanted to charge $125.

If you want, take one front tire off and put it in the truck bed. Run with your spare and see what the computer reads. That will give you an idea if the pressure can will work. Let us know. I have been running my 2017 at 35psi for 5,000 miles and just ignoring the light. There are some many other light on I dont even notice it. Yellow or green Exh brake, trailer tow, auto lights on, high beam whats one more?

Buttt what about the nag screen? #@$%!

Yeah, I sure don't like the ride with 80 psi!

Less pressure in the rears when empty = much better ride. Let me know if I can help you adjust the TPMS settings to a normal level.

Not the cheapest route but some tuners let you shut it off, Edge?
My 2011 2500 has a high and low load setting which was nice when I had it turned on.

There's no way to shut it off on the 13+ trucks. One of the Bullydog tuners will turn off the nag screen but I'd prefer a fully working system.

Some reason why?? I run 65 front 50 back, unless towing then 65 front, and 80 back.
I know what 80 in back feels like empty see no reason to get beat up, maybe the 2500 is more gentle with 80 psi.

But what do you do about the nag screen? That was my biggest complaint and the reason that I bought an Autel and rent it out.
