Thanks Tireman9. Been looking everywhere and I now have a bunch of valve stems that I purchased one of to see if they would work. With a .625 diameter counterbore I do not have many choices. Had the double nut ones on the last tt but they were too short for these rims so I ordered three different ones on line and they were too long by varying degrees. Ordered an assortment of front nut stems and there was not enough room in the counterbore to tighten them. Never got to my tire dealer today to see if they have different lengths in the aluminum ones but will tomorrow. And Truck Systems Technology does recommend dielectric grease used sparingly on the threads to inhibit corrosion if their units are used on aluminum.
