Now on my 3rd tpms sensor doing same thing on same tire. Original intermintent reads. Swapped to aftermarket same. Now to oem. Same. Moved tire to different location and issue follows tire. Highly unlikely i got 3 bad sensors doing same thing. What else could it be if its following tire?

Had it on driver front and now moved to driver pass. Same thing pictures show blank for some reason but jumps from a good read to 0 to random number low every couple miles

Maybe swap the rim with the spare to rule that out? Not sure what that could be causing but at this point it's really hard to say.

Do you have the right sensors,they changed Hertz ratings somewhere about 13.

How does truck know were each wheel is? Is there modules near each wheel?

There is a module, on the 2011, I believe it's in front of the drivers side front tire bolted to the frame. This reads the sensors. If the sensor is dropping out, and it follows the tire, then it can only be the sensor. I fought this issue with aftermarket wheels for over a year.

Regardless of how many you have bought. On the 11 model year it is very sensitive to the correct sensor. Aftermarket can cause lots of issues. I would purchase a mopar oem sensor that comes directly from mopar based on the sensor being identified by your VIN.

Benny @AllMoparParts.com can help you.

Update fixed Even though it was saying one was bad. On a wim. I replaced all and now they work. Im wondering if the actual bad one was interfering with others somehow
