TPMS- Tire Rotation

[JWalker]

2016 Ram DRW. Factory TPMS.
Getting ready to do the first tire rotation. My question is, when I do the 6 tire shuffle and readjust all pressures accordingly. How do I reset the tires so it reads in the correct position on the dash screen? Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks all.

For factory sensors, your dealer or repair facility with the programer will be able to swap the sensors locations to match where they change them to.

When the dealer rotates the tires on my dually, things change automatically. I'm sure they're not taking the tire off the rim. And I doubt they're doing any reprogramming.

Try your owners manual, Ford has a section on reprogramming.

Dane,
Are your inside rims steel? Mine are which requires removing them from the rim to perform rotation and balance. Otherwise the finish is going to be scratched when the rotation is done.

Aluminum wheels.

X2 on the Ram. My 2014 relearn the positions after rotation in probably less than a mile. The GMC I had prior had to be reprogrammed with a hand held programmer. Ram has used many forward thinking applications on their trucks, if they could just figure out how to get rid of the monthly (seems like) recalls!

Aluminum wheels.

So you have six polished aluminum rims.

The front wheels get turned and mounted on the outside rear, so all the crud that builds up on the inside of the front wheels shows on the outside rear after rotation. Despite cleaning, the rims are not as polished looking as when they were new.

The wheels are polished on one side only. To properly rotate, you will need to dismount and remount to keep the polished sides out, unless you swap side to side only.

Maybe everyone's truck is not the same. On my dually, the front wheels and outer rear wheels have opposite sides facing out. And when they were new, they were all nice and shiny.

They relearn their new position automatically

Thanks everyone. I’ll rotate them and see what happens.

What Mileage does everyone rotate their DRWs at?

You can stop at a truck stop and there usually a detail shop. Maybe you can get the buffed out.

Jamie,

On my Ford, the rotation pattern says the the front wheel get swapped w/ each other. Rear wheels (inside is steel), they as well just get swapped side to side. TPS changes on it's own as far as I know as I've never touched anything (dealer may have tho). As for how often, I rotate mine every 5k regardless. Same w/ oil. Probly overkill on the oil, but oil is cheap.

I just had mine done at Discount/America’s tire. Charged me $50 but said from then on it would be no charge. First time doing all of them since I put the new Michelin’s on the rear and first time doing all 6!

I have mine marked 1-2-3-4- with white paint so they stay in the same place.
