heyyyyyyy girrrrrrrl
I know some Vette guys pressurize a sealed piece of PVC pipe and mount the sensors in there. Throw the pipe in your backseat and you're golden.
Not sure how the Dodge system works but I wouldn't think it's much different.

How are the sensors mounted in the OEM's? Can they not be put in the new ones? Just here for the info....I have no idea, sir.
Hell...that's dang near brilliant.

We just stripped a newer car here that had A/M wheels on them. Dismounted the tires and the whole valve stem/TPMS sensor epoxied to the inside of the wheel. I guess it worked? Haha

Some are separate from the stem, and are actually strapped around the center of the inside of the wheel.

I wonder if you could buy aftermarket sensors that fit on the valve stem and program them to work? Might be costly.
Some good info.

Tpms sensors can can swapped no problem. When I got my new tires and wheels at discount they just pulled my sensors out of the stock ones and put in the new ones. There is no tpms delete or tuner with tpms tuning available. I have heard of people just putting all four sensors in the spare tire and airing it up. Not sure how that would work with individual corner monitoring.
The biggest problem we are going through with the 14 tpms is the pressure. Factory system will set dash light and evic will pop up in the tpms screen every time you start the truck if the fronts aren't at 60psi and rear at 80psi.
I took my truck to the dealer to have the threshold lowered to 50psi all the way around. They did, but the light is still on and still have the same issue as before. Only difference is now it says air up to 50psi even with the sensors reading 52psi. Dealer refunded my money and im waiting on a solution.

On gm stuff we can go in and change the low tire set point. It still needs the sensor and needs to register pulses when driving for the light to stay off. You may be able to change that with a modus or similar but I haven't messed with to many other makes to see if it's an option.

I wonder what the hysteresis of the monitor is. It might be that it won't trigger the light until you drop below 40 psi or some other number. Air up the tires past the 80 psi to get the lights to go off. Then back one down slowly and see how low you can go until you get the light. You might could drop 10-20 psi without a trigger, but you must start high to get the monitor to think you are ok.
It is something to try for free.

I assumed this is what you were getting at. Also ram did away with the light load button.

Well poo. So much for K.I.S.S.
I'd just put them all in the spare. Screw it. Do the new trucks have specific corner monitoring as in LF, RF, LR, RR or just give you a "tire is low" indicator?
I don't guess it would matter if they were all in the spare would it? Surely they aren't smart enough to know if they all have the exact same pressure you are being crafty.

Some people get worked up over something that has worked many times. Although I wouldn't do pvc at 75 psi, just to be safe.Not sure I want a 75psi pipe bomb in my truckoke:

Sounds like a product someone needs to research, produce, and sell. A TPMS fooler. All we need to do it figure out what the sensors are transmitting and how and reproduce the signals. I doubt it is Bluetooth. Probably microwave signal. Rotation won't affect it if they are smart enough to send a request and get a reply. The elapsed time from the monitor to each sensor will tell them which tire position is responding if the master if located off center in the vehicle.
