Leaking valve stems 2021 + DRW
I have a 2022 F350 dually on order and I've been reading a lot about leaking valve stems on aluminum wheels. Is this still an issue with the newer dually's?

Decrease the issue by either moving from the salt belt to the sun belt, or wash the vehicle, including (especially) the wheel valve stems w/ Salt Away.
The usage of Salt Away on my OEM Mercruiser salt water cooled exhaust changed this from discarding ~$5K of parts every 5 years to now still looking pristine new after 4 years.

I see there's a lawsuit in effect for the 2017-2018 trucks, so I wonder what's new.

I took my one month old SD to the local guy and had high pressure rubber stems installed to ward off any evil spirits. The OEM metal stems were then melted down and cast into a cross that is mounted on a frame rail.

are the stock stems steel, and are they attached to a sensor?

I warrantied my leaking galvanic corroding dually wheel and they are now leak free and in perfect condition sitting in my basement. Junk junk junk.
new AF direct bolt on 19.5” & got rid of the TPMS sensors. Wheels have never leaked again. And my truck looks amazing
