Tire pressure light

Does anybody know of a way to disable this light or at least to program the tires with a little bit of less air in them? I bought my truck lifted and with bigger tires (37X13.50R20) and 65psi in them is way to much!

Thanks

I read somewhere on the forum of a guy who put the tps sensors in a 2" abs pipe with caps on each end. On one end he installed a valve steam and aired up the pipe to 65lbs and stored it under the seat.

I drive an XL, so I don't have any accessories to speek of. How do tps sensors work. The pressure guage I installed on all the wheels keeps flying off at about 30mph. John

Do you by any chance remember the thread title? I would love to do that to my truck!

Thanks

I was thinking, instead of building a canaster to hold the sensors, wouldnt it be the same if you put the sensors (all of them) in the spare tire?

I read the thread with the canister idea. Not sure it was actually tried. Tech at the dealer said he didn't think it would work as the sensors would be too far from the recievers.


Someone suggested using the remote that sets the snensors place during a tire rotation from a rig that only uses 30 psi. I haven't even done the research to know if that remote exists.
