Can the TIM system be modified or turned off?
I have tires that will not hold the 70lbs presure required for teh rear tires and have a constant TIM light. Wonder if there is a way to change the values - really nice of Dodge if there is not. Or, a way to turn the TIM off.

Thanks,

Hal

Is there a switch on the dash that changes the TIPM to light load?

I have sent an Email to MADS about a TPMS workaround and they are looking into it. Hope they come up with something. I can watch my own tires myself.

I don't have any of those but some friends that have cars just yank them out and have them placed in the spare tire or the glove box.

Didn't know if that would work.
