I was interested in rotating the valve stems so I went the the dealership and asked about it. They told me it cannot be done. It had to do with the wheels internally. Can someone explain or verify this? Thanks.

I see different posts talking rims tires pressures etc.I have an rv that has ford tpms it also has steel belted tires and takes 110 psi in them.I have no issues with reading those pressures on my dash.There are options in forscan to turn it on and set pressures which I did but got a tpms light (which would be correct because I dont have sensors in my truck wheels) I may try installing a sensor in the one wheel this spring

That could very well be correct. If the TPMS sensors are integrated to the stem (which is common in LT & passenger applications), then likely the stem can’t be rotated. The Ford TPMS sensors I general see are integrated to the stem. MD/HD sensors are typically mounted to the wheel inside barrel and independent of the valve stem.

correct. Even tho the F450 doesn’t have TPMS, the F450 is capable of using the Ford Trailer TPMS option. I thought he was talking about the sensors on his RV... but that may just be the other posters who jumped to the RV TPMS.
