Valve Stem Question
Looking at getting new wheels for my 21 Scab. Is there any way to tell or does anybody know if the valve stems are pull through or screw in on the oem wheels? I have the 20inch Stx wheels if that helps. Been searching and searching but can’t find an answer and don’t want to spend the $$$ on new stems if I don’t have to. My tire guy said if they are screw on he can reuse my current ones but if it is pull through he can’t. Thank you in advance. Sorry if this has been discussed but I couldn’t find it. Thanks again
My guess is pull through, but I've reused them before on my Mustang GT when I powdercoated the wheels. It just takes a little effort. I can see why a tire guy wouldn't want to re-use them, but my labor is free!
I guess what I should’ve asked is, should the TPMS be able to be transferred to new wheels, the guy I deal with said they should be able to. Just trying to get all my eggs in the basket before pulling the trigger. I want to make sure that they disconnect from the stem and can be reattached to the new stem, if that makes sense. Basically just trying to avoid another $150 in TPMS units.
You can pick up all four motorcraft sensors for less than $50, ebay and amazon is where to look. If you plan on selling your takeoff tires and wheels, I'd leave them in, lots more attractive to a buyer. I just passed on a set of wheels and tires because the seller had pulled them out. $50 wasn't the issue, adding the cost of rebalancing was. I was glad I passed, picked up a different set with tpms still in for less money. I believe all the newer ford sensors screw in as mentioned above.
