Another 06 owner alert.

Hey my dad has had 2 tire valve stems go bad on his 06 dually. Build date 5/06. One was a slow leak, the other ruptured and leaked out flat over the course of a few minutes. He happened to be in the garage and heard a sputter and then hiss. He thought it was the air compressor only to find a second bad valve stem. Had he been driving it could have been ugly as it was on the front. Now normally i wouldn't even post up about something like this, but his neighbor bought a 2500 cummins one week after he did from a different dealer and has also had 2 valve stems go bad. Maybe dodge is buying junk parts to save a couple of pennies, i dont know. Needless to say we are yanking the other 4 tires off the truck as well as the spare this weekend to replace all the valve stems. Phil
