Difference in TPMS between Raptor and Plat?
So as you may or may not know, I have 2017 Raptor wheels on my 2017 Plat. Pretty much slapped them on.
I bought the TPMS "trainer" that I have seen on the boards here from Amazon and decided to give that a go. Nothing.
Is there a difference in frequency, that anyone knows of, between the Raptor and Plat trucks?
The Ford guys say they can reprogram my truck, but they want a half hour of labor and it's like 100 dollars. Anyone run into similar issues? Thinking of just looking at a Forscan and just shutting TPMS off.

This is a good point. I bought sensors for my winters and just mount them and go! I have the trainer as well but it has never had to use it as the truck just knows (its probably lost now anyway).
As stated, on your truck no retraining should be necessary. Drive 20 miles or so, and you should be all set. You can verify this by then checking the pressure on the screen, but do it when you're out and about - NOT when you're sitting in the garage next to the old tires.
The old wheels with TPMS sensors should do dormant due to lack of movement at some point.

I would say that it's highly likely that your new wheels either have no TPMS sensors, or a different frequency. Numerous threads about latest model owners not having to train when switching wheels.
I have the same problem as the OP. I bought some Ford wheels and tires from a guy who had a 2015 or 2016 (can't remember) F-150 Sport and I have yet to get the TPMS working. The guy said that as soon as he got the truck he swapped the OEM wheels for aftermarket ones. Everything looked brand new so I had no reason to doubt that the sensors were still there.
I've only tried the method where you release air out of the tire, I haven't tried with the learning tool.

I'm guessing different frequency at this point. When I drove to work, a 50 mile jaunt, I tried to "calibrate" with no success. I'm guessing I'll need new sensors and an hour of labor at this point. Sucks. Oh well.
