2011 TPMS
2011 F350. does it hurt anything to let the tire pressure warning light stay on? My Toyo MTs are currently aired to 72 psi, truck rides like a forklift. Normally I run these around 50 psi. I don't really care about the warning light, as long as it's not going to put the truck into limp mode or something. I don't imagine ford can reprogram these to 50 - 55 psi? Thanks.

Your Ford dealer will not likely reprogram to anything other than whats on your jamb sticker, the penalties are huge.
On my 08, at least, the truck will not go into limp mode and I haven't heard anything has changed.
One thing you may want to consider is that, in the unfortunate event of an accident, I believe the information (TPMS warning light ON) is retrievable and could be used to prove out fault.

Doesn't affect anything in my 2010 F250 5.4L except beep at me when I start up. My door jamb says 75psi all around which is insane. I normally run 62 all around which doesn't set it off. The cold weather lowered all four to 58 this winter and now it is going off daily. I could air up back in the 60's, but haven't seen the point in it. However, after reading LMS's post maybe I will go air up a bit.

Well, I talked to my dealers service manager today. They will not reset the sensor to anything other than the factory setting. Leaving the light on will not cause any problems other than looking at the light. I think I'll air down to 60 psi and see how the ride feels. I usually ran my 05 with the same tires around 52 psi, and the ride was pretty good. As smart as these trucks are, you would think it could sense when a trailer is hooked up or a load is in the bed, and only sense for Max psi at that time. Should be able to air down to low psi unloaded. Way too much gov't. control....but that's for a different forum. Thanks for all your input.
