I've ordered a new set of wheels that will be here tomorrow (I think), and I'm wanting to do all I can to ensure they don't corrode and leak like my originals have. I have part numbers for two different types of valve stem that have been used on these wheels:
The rubber valve stems F2GZ-1700-D
I had them installed at one point but I think they eventually leaked. I know I had problems with their flexibility and trying to get an air gauge and chuck on them.
Now I have the FR3Z-1700-C stems. They actually seem to have worked out pretty well. The two rears I only have to add air about twice a month, the passenger front needs air about every week and a half, while the driver's side front needs air every three to four days.

I guess I'm going to go ahead and order a new set of the FR3Z-1700-C valve stems to install on the new wheels. I'm hoping they do not corrode but would like some input from folks that have been running these valve stems.
Any problems? Alternative valve stems that work better?
Another problem I've run into is trying to buy four new sensors. I am unable to find any definitive information on which sensors to order.
Has anybody had to replace a sensor on their truck and do you have the part number for it?
I want to start this new set of wheels out right, with all new valve stems and sensors - ensuring everything is super clean and sealed, giving the wheels the best chance of not corroding and not leaking I can.
I struggle with the same problem on my 2018.
Just ordered FR3Z-1A189-A from Tirerack to replace a bad stem up front. I believe it's Ford's complete stem and sensor kit but I'll know when it get's here.
What did you get for new wheels? Mine were replaced by Ford once but the same corrosion took hold on the new rims. I'd like a set of US made steel rims - not sure if there is such a rim these days.
Seems to me the clamp-in stems need a poly washer to isolate the external stem nut from the metal of the rim. I haven't tried that yet - but a good splooge of rim sealant goes a long way.
