Likewise, hundreds of miles and no TPMS light or error codes.
I can't explain this one....
Morehouse, we have three separate individuals experiencingthe same cause and effect, unless we’re all lying.
Not trying to call you liars, just tring to state some facts and info for you.
Anyway – I sold my original wheels and tires today. Ordered new TPMS sensors and the Ford programming tool. I’m going to build a PVC tube for the sensors. Will report back with my findings

On my '13 had new wheels and sensors mounted. Didn't have the new wheels tires installed on truck, took them home loose in the bed. Stored the new wheels/tires for a couple weeks. Installed them a month ago. 2k miles later I haven't received any TPMS message.
Others, not all, have reported the same. Not having to do anything. I did in fact procure Ford OEM TPMS units. Not sure if that makes any difference.

Just an update: my factory original wheels and tires have been gone a week and still no TPMS light, im not complaining but this is reallyodd.
The only other scenario I can think of is when I mounted the2015 wheels I put the truck into TPMS learn mode, let air out of left fronttire and when the truck didn’t recognize the sensor I turned the key off.
Could this have inadvertently disabled TPMS?
I know the TPMS worked in the past as one time it alerted meto low air pressure in one of my tires

If you have a set of tires with NO TPMS (say Winter Tires), but have your summer tires mounted & pressurized WITH TPMS in your garage, the system will reset and you can drive up to 20 minutes before it will trigger the TPMS.
The sensor light will remain on until you finally return home, leave the vehicle for awhile and restart your engine. Then the TPMS will go out ... until you driver more than 20 minutes in a SINGLE trip.
If you drive a lot of short trips under 20 minutes and return home, your TPMS warning will not be triggered.
Finally, after driving all winter, if you install your summer tires (with TPMS) onto your truck, you will no longer have the TPMS triggered IF you drive more than 20 minutes.
This is if your Summer Tires have the proper TPMS, mounted and properly pressurized all winter in the garage ... close to where you park your truck.
What triggers the TPMS (if you do not have the proper sensors on mounted tires), is driving more than 20 minutes in a single trip. Then it will remain on until you return home (and it detects the TPMS in you mounted & pressurized Summer Tires).
