Valve stem on spare tire

Just discovered our spare tire valve stem was installed wrong on our 07 3400RL. The steel rim has a large hole for the valve, but a smaller diameter stem (car type) was installed by the factory. Result was a bad seal at the rim and lateral pressure on the stem caused air to escape. Simple fix, had a bolt-on steel valve stem (truck size) installed. Good to go! Check now before you need the spare. Jay
