Can you disable tire pressure monitor??

I just bought an 08 laramie mega cab. I didn't even know it had a tire pressure monitoring system. I just put 245/70r 19.5's on. I had them at 100psi, the ride was so harsh, my teeth almost fell out on the highway. My stupid tire pressure monitor says the pressure is too low, and the warning bell always goes off and the light stays on, on the dash. I tried pushing the light load button (no change). I have since aired them down to 70 psi, and then to 55 psi. The light will not turn off on the dash. I like the features of the Laramie, but some of them are over complicated. I don't need a sensor to tell me when my tire pressure is low. Can you delete this crap??
Thanks,
Garry
