Update page 3: Tire pressure factory recommendations.......

[TNrob]

I'm trying to get Ram to do something about the danged TPMS on later model 2500s. I understand that the TPMS used to have a toggle, that the pressure recommendations used to be for heavy and light loads, and that up until just a couple of years ago the computer could be reprogrammed to "ding points" other than factory.

Would you guys please help me compile a small list of factory inflation recommendations over the last decade or so?

Maybe go to www.safercar.gov and file a complaint that the truck is unsafe to drive unloaded because you can not lower rear tire pressure. Stating that the over inflated rear tires effects handle, decrease braking and are subject to impact damage when over inflated. Chris

Yes, the fed pestering has begun, too.

As I understand it in 2015 they implemented a new protection scheme for the ECU so far effectively locking out tuners. Diablo has their own PCM https://www.diablosport.com/news/2015-2016-ram-1500-v6-5-7l-2015-ram-25003500-6-4l/

However it doesn't mention TPMS, I suspect that might be controlled by the BCU.. not sure.

You should be pestering the feds that mandated TPMS..

You and about 75 percent of the 2500 owners. Some have gotten a RAM tech to lower the rear tire alarm despite the company policy.

Stay away from 2500's, the 3500's only display tire pressure!!!! Chris

2016 2500 with LT275/70R18 is 60 Front (GAWR = 5500), 80 Rear (GAWR = 6500).

Actual scale weight for daily use (in my case) is 4000 Front, 3000 Rear.
