How do I adjust my tmps settings..

[Ian3500]

I just received my 2021 3500 HO and it came with (but not asked for)Ram's TMPS.

I have been using an add on TMPS for years. When I picked up the truck, the tires (275/70 18e ) were filled to 63 psi front and 82 psi rear. Makes for a bit of an odd ride....

I asked how I could adjust because that is kind if silly when running empty but was told I cannot because of the weight the truck can *potentially* carry and the tmps will go into error mode..

The max weight this truck will see for the foreseeable future will be a 12K 5th wheel. What I normally do (or did with my last truck), was weigh it and adjusted the front and back tire pressures based on what the scales tell me.

How Can I fix this ?

Thanks.

Welcome. This is the 5th Gen RAM 1500 site. We have a sister site for the HD trucks. www.HDRAMS.com Please. Remain a member, here, as this is a great site for information, and some members own both...but I would highly suggest joining the other site as information and help will be much easier...

How to tell if you have a 5th Gen, a 4th Gen or a Heavy Duty (4.5 gen)

Still finding a lot of people do not realize the differences. We want all types of members. It is fine to be a member here no matter what truck you own. But there is alot of confusion when you ask a vague question. There is a little bit of a challenge when speaking about 2019 to present RAM...

I don't know that you can. My experience is the TPMS are set to warn when the tire pressure goes below a preset factory level. I personally despise TPMS.

Just air down 50F 40R enjoy the ride. Then when you tow heavy air up. The tpms light will be on at low PSI but will go off when aired up. You can’t physically turn it off, I went through that whole deal with my 2500.
