I have had two valve stem failures in the last two months. The valve stems that were put in when I replaced the tires are rated at 65 psi max. The trucks recommended tire pressure is 80 psi. The two tire installers that I talked to say the 65 psi valve stems are installed for all vehicles. Is this really safe?

Silverado 2500 8-cyl

  • 60,119 miles
Noticed vehicle vibration at slow speed and persistent but not as severe at highway speeds. Not being a mechanic I thought it felt like a tire out of round or tire out of balance. Took it to a Firestone shop to inspect and correct problem. Mechanic found that the right front bearing was falling apart and needed to be replaced. The tires were ready to be replaced they had 60,000 miles on them with a little cupping but fairly even wear. Without stopping to check the tires the bearing most likely would have failed at highway speeds, which probably would have prevented me from filing this report.

  • 68,000 miles
Chevy 2005 Silverado 68,000 miles. Bearing assembly went out on left side. When I heard a loud "clunk" noise I towed it to the dealer. Mechanic said wheel was about to fall off and called it "catastrophic" failure. Now 4 weeks later other side is going out. This could have killed me. I do a lot of highway driving, only reason I discovered it was because I drove with windows down and heard the noise. This could have killed me if I had the air on and windows up!

Silverado 2500 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,561 miles
: the contact stated the front driver side wheel makes a clunking noise and the steering wheel is inoperable. The dealer inspected the vehicle several times and was unable to determine the problem; however the steering shaft was lubricated. Additionally, an independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and determined the steering box was loose.
