I have an 05 Duramax that had the pull through metal stems. Had new tires two years ago and the tire dealer said the pull through were the only ones that will work.
Last week I was getting ready to leave the camp ground and I checked tire pressures with my Pressure Pro system. All tires OK except left rear on truck. It was at 65 psi should be 80.
I decided to try and drive to a local Big O tire without the trailer about 15 miles and have the tire fixed. My thinking was a nail and if I watched the pressure should be OK it I did not let it go below 30 psi.
After less than 2 miles the pressure dropped to 25 so I stopped and put on the spare. Returned to campground and hitched the trailer and went home. Short trip as we were only 25 miles from home.
Next morning decided to take the truck in to have the tire fixed. Checked pressures with Pressure Pro as always before I drive the truck. Left front was at 20 psi. Now I had to use my Subaru Outback to take the tires to the tire shop for repair.
The pull through valve stems had failed on both tires. I could see marks on the rim where the pressure sensors had been hitting the rim.
My local small tire dealer found me a set of all metal stems.
All metal stems is the only way to go and get the shortest stem possible.
