I have a 2007 F150 4x4 with a 6" inch lift and running on a set of 18" Pacer 108's with nitto terra Grapplers and my question is my tire pressure sensor on the dash keeps glowing as if my wheels don't have enough pressure, all tires have the same amount of PSI recommended and I can't figure out how to get the icon to stay off, I've read through the manual and it gives me no info on how to fix this problem, hopefully you guys have some answers for me L8TR...

sometimes with aftermarket wheels and tires you have to over inflate them to get the sensor to go off. also putting nitrogen in the tires helps with pressure fluctuation which makes that light come on.

your facory wheels have a sensor under the valve stem, you have to have that swapped to your new wheels to get the light to turn off. No clue on how much it costs tho.

a piece of tape works great over the light! they are a pain in the ass and annoying as hell to work with sometimes you have to drive the vehicle a distance then push the key fob 42 times while standing on your head! the things are just stupid and every system is different!

When you put the new wheels on, did you swap the sensors from the old wheels? We do it all the time at the dealership I work on. You usually need to purchase new bands that hold the sensors in place, but you can reuse the old sensors. They will then need to reprogrammed to the truck. The dealership where you bought the truck should be able to do all of that for you. The bands arent to pricy, but the labor will be, since you have to break down all the wheels, new and old.
