Well there you go. Move back to the Jerz. Solved.

Seriously tho, its probably the sensor in that wheel on its way out. Its not like theres a separate receiver in each wheel well or something that picks up a single wheel, all four transmit to the same module.

The best your going to do in regards to diagnosing it without looking at live TPMS data on a scan tool..or at least what I would do is this:

Rotate your tires.
THEN do the TPMS relearn.
When your light comes on, is it still saying pass rear or has it moved to pass front?
If its moved to pass front, which im betting that it will, you have moved the problem with the wheel and can eliminate any odd ball **** such as rf interference,alien force fields, black magic, etc from the right rear of the truck.

Only thing in the wheel,(unless a black ops agent installed a low powered rf scrambler that turns on randomly) is the TPMS sensor itself.

If you get one, I have seen posts in other forums that people say they have replaced their TPMS valves with rubber ones and popped the 4 tpms units into a capped peice of pipe, tapped on one end to accept a tire valve, and then pumped the pipe up to 35 or whatever psi. I do really like this idea, however im not sure how comfortable I (or the popo) would be with me driving around with what looks like a pipe bomb in my truck..lol.

If you need a hand you know how to get me. ;p
