OEM Replacement Valve Stem Caps

[tburner]

This thread is stupid. Just buy this set from Walmart for less than a buck and stop wasting time.

Lol I think the only stupid thing in here is taking the time to shit on something that's apparently not for you. It's okay to skip the threads you don't like, no one will ban you. Trust me, I do it all the time.

Wrong color. Ford puts nitrogen in the tires and identifies it by using green valve stem caps.

That and they're not long enough. I have a package of like 50 of these little cheap dust covers and originally put them on. The factory caps extend all the way to the rubber neck of the valve stem and butt up against it. These don't, leaving like a 1/8" ring of brass showing. Plus they don't have the fancy rubber gasket in the end of the cap.

NOW we're starting to get interesting!

I avoided all this by simply overfilling my tires with the thicker summer weight air and then crimping the valve stems closed with vise-grips. I wrapped the crimped ends in electrical tape so it looks nicer. Seems to work well.

Be careful with metal caps, My wife wanted some on her BS OB and got them on Amazon and now I cant get them off.

That has been an issue. Lots of posts in Bronco Sport FB groups about them.

Boring post, but thought some might be interested down the line. I found perfect replacement valve stem dust caps on Amazon. They're indistinguishable from what my wheels had from the factory and arrived next-day (though DFW has distribution centers all over the place, so YMMV).

Why....just plain why?

A better question might be why was this one of the most popular posts last week? What's wrong with us?

I’ll stick with these. I found them on Amazon. Available in Grey, Black, Orange and Red.

Will corrode. Only had them on 2 months. My husband had to torch and fluid film and wrench these ones off my sport last night.

Had the same problem - I had bought some metal caps with little Broncos on them and they practically fused to my valve stems within a couple months. Went back to the boring plastics.
