Description of the problem | Aluminum wheel valve stem leaking - tire loosing approximately 10 psi per day. Tpms alarm notified me of a problem on highway when pressure reached 50 psig (spec =65) but identified the wrong tire because the sensors are incorrectly mapped. Apparently a this is a common failure on the 2017 and newer ford f350 drw trucks as indicated here and in other online forums: https://www. Ford-trucks. Com/forums/1495539-2017-drw-recurring-valve-stem-leaks. Html based on this i am expecting leaks in the other three aluminum wheels soon. The inner steel wheels apparently do not get the same problem. The frequency of this defect detracts from the effectiveness of tpms because it's always in alarm. |
