How to rotate dually pickup truck tires
The manual for my 2016 Ram 3500 dually shows tire rotation only side to side. Specifically, switch the driver front and the passenger front tires, switch the outer rear tires driver to passenger, and ...

Per manual HERE it clearly states..
"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.

Looks like you cannot manually "train" the sensor positions since it is done all automatically the rear inside and outside sensors are programmed different and identify as inside and outside for the rear positions only.
Since you cannot retrain the sensor positions moving the sensors around front to back will most likely result in a TPIS error..
Basically you have 3 sets of unique sensors, two for front, two for inside rear and two for outside rear..
Perhaps one way out of this mess maybe to see if there are programmable after market sensors available that could be trained for any position. But that may require you to buy a special programmer to reprogram each sensor after you rotate the tires..
