So I'm I just dumb lucky or does ford put in crappy valve stems? This is my 3rd flat cause by a bad valve stem. Maybe I should just have them replace the last one that way I don't have to worry about it.......

 

That sucks!

 

I remember reading something about bad valve stems from China that were used by Ford but I can not remember the specifics. Replacing the stems is probably easier than searching the internet for the article

 

There's not much to a valve stem that could cause a problem. Are you sure there isn't something stuck in the tire causing a slow leak?

 

So this morning I go over to Walmart and get the valve stem replaced. When I get home I hear another air leak! Turns out it's the only stem I haven't had replaced yet. So now at least I have all 4 replaced. Its only 2 bucks a piece so thats not bad. Just a pain in the *** though.

 

I had to replace one of my valve stems a couple of weeks ago. I didn't hit anything with it and it was just basicly almost broken off. I guess I will have all mine replaced now. I have a 2007.

 

Don't forget about your spare. If the other 4 needed to be replaced it may be beneficial to take care of the spare.

 

I agree. Change them all.

 

mine leaked on my stockers between the valve stem and the wheel, they must not have made a good seal

 

Damn that sucks, I have my OEM tires and I'm going to have to replace them before 20,000 miles.

 

Here's something I found on this. It's not a Ford issue, it looks to be industry wide.

I didn't have time to take care of it yesterday since I had to head up to Ft. Worth. But I'm going to get it done as soon as I get back home!

 

The picture of the cracked valve stem on the photo link in that article is exactly how my valve stem looked. I will be getting my other three replaced soon...spare too.
