The instructions for TPMS retraining can be found in your owners manual...
TPMS reset tips
To reduce the chances of interference from another vehicle, TPMS reset should be performed at least three feet (one meter) away from another Ford Motor Company vehicle undergoing the TPMS reset procedure at the same time.
Do not wait more than two (2) minutes between resetting each tire sensor or the system will timeout and the entire procedure will have to be repeated on all four wheels.
A double horn chirp indicates the need to repeat the procedure.
TPMS reset procedure
Note:
It is recommended that you read the entire procedure before attempting.
Note:
To enter the reset mode, Steps 1–5 MUST be completed within 60 seconds.
1. The key must be in the ignition and the ignition turned to OFF/LOCK. Press and release the brake pedal.
2. Cycle the ignition from OFF/LOCK to RUN three (3) times ending in the RUN position.
DO NOT start the engine.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal for two (2) seconds, then release.
4. Turn the ignition to OFF/LOCK (
DO NOT remove the key.)
5. Cycle the ignition from OFF/LOCK to RUN three (3) times ending in RUN.
DO NOT start the engine.
If reset mode has been entered successfully, the horn will sound once, the TPMS indicator will flash and the message center will display
TRAIN LF TIRE.
If after repeated attempts to enter reset mode, the horn does not sound, the TPMS indicator does not flash and the message center does not display TRAIN LF TIRE, seek service from your authorized dealer.
TPMS reset sequence
The TPMS system needs to be reset starting with the left front tire in the following clockwise order:
1. Left front tire
2. Right front tire
3. Right rear tire
4. Left rear tire
1.
Left front tire: Place the TPMS reset tool against the left front tire where the tire meets the rim, opposite from the valve stem (1) as shown. This is where the sensor is located inside the rim.
The tool needs to be held against the tire sidewall opposite the valve stem as illustrated with the arrow on the tool pointing towards the rim; do not use the tool with the arrow pointing away from the rim as it may not activate the sensor.
2. Press and release the green button and hold the tool to the tire sidewall until the horn sounds. The red light on the TPMS reset tool will illuminate while the tool is active. The horn will sound once within 10 seconds to indicate the process was successful.
Note:
If a double horn chirp is heard, repeat the procedure. If a single horn chirp is not heard, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least a 1⁄4-turn and repeat the procedure. If the horn does not sound while
attempting to reset any wheel, seek service from your authorized dealer.
3. Perform Steps 1 and 2 on the right front, right rear and finally the left rear tires.
Successful completion of the reset procedure can be verified by turning the ignition to OFF without the horn sounding. If two short beeps are heard, the reset procedure was unsuccessful and must be repeated.
If after repeating the procedure two short beeps are heard when the key is turned to OFF, seek assistance from your authorized dealer.

On my Job 3 truck there are 17" wheels and the door sticker shows 75 psi on each tire.
You might've gotten larger tires with your truck, then.
Point is, the fob is only for "split" tire pressure, where the front is lower than the back. If your door jamb sticker says same for both front and back then hallelujah! You don't have to deal with that stupid fob.

I did get the larger tires, and the window sticker calls for 75 psi for all 5 tires.

Hmmmmm, my sticker in the jamb has the pressure for all tires at 75psi. So does that explain why I didn't get this TPMS tool w/ my truck? Also checked my tire pressure recently and my fronts are 64psi and rear is at 74psi....
Anyways the new suspension is going on and my new tires are rated at 50psi max w/ 3195lbs. I will just ignore the light. Never needed a light to tell me my tire pressures were low before.
That light has saved me and my wife's truck from going flat before I noticed it. I like them.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the TPMS were not installed on job-1 trucks or any DRW trucks.
