I had a 2011 f350. I traded it in last year for a 2022. I had big wheels and tires on it that I kept when I traded the truck in. I just recently put the wheels and tires on the new truck and I was told that I wouldn't be able to program the TPMS sensors unless I replaced them because they are programmed to my old truck. Is there no way around this? Seems a little crazy to have to buy 4 new sensors.
I do not have the TPMS scanner and got the Ford dealer to perform the TPMS sensor reprogramming on the new wheels. Since I purchased my truck new there, the dealership did not charge anything for the new TPMS reprogramming.
Search partsgeek.com and they have sensors for your truck for $5.01 each.
I got lucky with my '22 F-350 when I took off my OEM wheels and tires and installed '21 F-350 Lariat Sport wheels and tires. As I drove away from the shop that installed them, a few miles down the road, my truck recognized the TPMS sensors and indicated my tire pressures.
If they are still sending a signal then any tire shop should be able to do it if the truck won’t pick them up. I put a set of factory take offs and used Nittos on my 17 and it picked them right up. Of course those were OEM wheels. I subsequently replaced all four sensors recently as the batteries did fail.
I believe the OEM sensors use a different signal frequency from 23+. Not sure if the 11-16’s were different from the 17-22’s. Its possible.
Litte update:
I brought them to the shop that I originally purchased tires from to have the sensors reprogrammed. Wasn't able to update them because these tires (nitto terra grappler G2) have a max psi of 65. The new truck requires 80 psi in the rear so there was no need to even reprogram them because the sensor light will always be on when it reads 15 less psi than required. This wasn't ever an issue on my 2011 F350. I'm assuming those older trucks didn't require 80 psi in rear. So I'm going to have to buy some new tires and hopefully sell the ones I have.

Unless you are planning on maxing out your F-350 in the rear, then there's no need to change you're tires. You can use Forscan to adjust your trucks psi settings if you don't like the startup warning message. I used to run my front and rear at 65psi for improved ride. I only aired up the rears to 80 when I hauled a load of rock.

I was actually just looking into that. One of those things that no tire shop or dealership will tell you, that's why we have this forum though, right?
