Modifying the computer codes was created by TG53
I have very little experience in automotive electronics and need some help. I am building a 1953 4x4 truck using a 2008 4x4 sport trac chasis, drivetrain, and electronics. I want to turn off the TPMS, Door Ajar, Seat Belt warnings, etc. I have downloaded the Forscan software but have searched everywhere I can on the internet for which codes to modify and cannot find what I need. Can anyone on the forum help with this?

That is not something you will be able to do with a scan tool.
You'll either have to carry over all of the components to all of those systems and have them working properly, or cover up the warning lamps.

Or use a custom gauge cluster and/or stand alone engine control module.

You’re going to want to find someone that does tuning. It’ll probably be more cost effective than you buying what is needed to get the job done.
