Valve stem leak again need advice

Okay guys this will be I think my seventh time lives valve stem leaks. This time it's my driver side front and passenger side rear outer dually. Going to call my dealer on Monday what are my options any advice you can throw my way I'm really getting sick of this. I'm posting this using my phone I don't think it puts my signature in there so I have a 2017 XL 6.7 CC long bed Dually that I purchased at their dealership. I only have 10,000 miles on it purchased it with 6 miles on it

If the dealer’s been doing all of the fixes, if it were me, I’d just take it to a good tire shop and have all new valves put in and be done with it. Shouldn’t cost that much, and may be worth it to end it.

Yes the dealer has been doing all the fixes. Past three times the parts are on backorder. I had to wait a couple of weeks each time before they were replaced with the same steel valve stems

Do you have the alloy wheels? Where the previous sets of steel valve stems corroded? Once you get corrosion started it pits the alloy and it will never seal. Only way I see to fix it is a new wheel with rubber valve stems.

Stonegrey,

Do you remember what your wheel nuts were like? I got a set of the 19.5" American Force Classic's but they did
not come with wheel nuts. Are they like the picture below (just a open end M14 X 1.5 Acorn Lug Nut). Sorry for the huge picture.
