OEM Replacement Valve Stem Caps

[Flash]

Everyone puts nitrogen in the tires.

Yes and no. A lot of people put 100% nitrogen in their tires but most people put 78% nitrogen in their tires.

Are we actually posting about OEM-like valve stem caps??

On Amazon now! Gotta find a way to keep dressing it up! It's been a great car!

If you are serious about tire stem caps, you should get some that meet MILSPEC MS-20813-1. Those are all brass and have a seal that is good for 0-5000 psi and -65° F to 160° F temperature range. They only come in yellow, though and cost under $2 each.

Opposite end of the serious spectrum must be these all plastic caps meeting no specs at $3+ each

I bought a box of 100 super extremely boring Dill 630 caps for my car. Now the tire boys can throw away as many of my "special" caps as they like. I have dozens to replace them.

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

I have found that each time I buy a set of snazzy valve stem caps, they disappear within a month.

I guess some folks seem to think they look better on their cars, or kids like them on their bikes.

Back to boring black stem covers for me.

I got some fancy red ones with the Bronco logo on the front just so I can match the red accent theme I have going. 100% not worth the money but would I do it again? ? Probably

What are MILSPEC valve caps? This is what I get when I order valve caps through the Army Supply System. 100 of them for $3.03, but they do have a rubber o-ring inside. The Army calls for these on the HUMVEE, 2 1/2 ton, 5ton and 10ton HEMTT trucks.

What are MILSPEC valve caps?

I don't know there is actually a MILSPEC on these, but when you order an inner tube for an aircraft tire they come with caps like this:

I like the yellow caps better than the black plastic Army ones.

IF the military supplies it — it has a “milspec” and a number somewhere. There’s a milspec on the “skivvy” shorts they issue ?

That's the ones. Some places try to sell these for $9 each but this site has reasonable prices.

These have my vote. Been on my ‘21 BSOB almost since day one. Even made the transfer to my new Fuel wheels earlier this year. ???
