So, I replaced the factory 20 inch rims with fuel blitz 20 inch rims with new TPMS sensors. My light was solid all day, now it started to flash then go solid again. Mechanic told me to drive it 30 miles at 50 mph , did that and nothing. Any advice?

If they didn't use Mopar sensors it's possible that the truck isn't going to automatically learn them. Any shop that has a tpms tool should be able to program them if not a dealer can. Also depending on the year of your truck it's possible they didn't use the correct frequency sensors. I believe up to 2013 ram used 335 (something like that) and 2014+ uses 433hz sensors

I'm not sure if the brand, but the guy at the tire store said they would reset and the mechanic that put them on said his scanner was saying to drive it. So that's what I've done. The light started flashing today, then goes solid. I was hoping that the flashing light meant it was trying to "fix " itself. Thanks for the info

I had the same issue with my 2011 Ram 1500.

Truck would not hold aftermarket sensor.

Ended up replacing them with Mopar sensors. Issue went away.

I have aftermarket wheels.

Be prepared to buy factory sensors and they are expensive at around $62 a piece

I've had great luck buying "used" oem sensors off of eBay. Usually can find 4 for around $40-$50

Have the tire shop check each of the sensors. If one or more out of the 4 is not sending a proper signal, the computer will not "learn" the new sensors.

We ended up buying tpms sensors from autozone for about 3 bucks apiece. Working great now

Did you use the battery on the the non reporting sensors and just rebuild then with Autozone sensors ?
