For my trailers I like the all-metal stubbies, but YMMV. If you’re using the cheaper Chinese tires that only last 4-5 years, then I’d go with the cheapest valve stems available as the tires won’t outlast them.

If I hadn’t known you were a plumber, I’d say that you were a plumber.... LOL! My favorite is when I am trying to break Budd thimbles loose, and break off the square portion on the end of the thimble...re-install outer Budd nut & break out the welder (weld nut to thimble), and off it comes once...

Outstanding work Brad!! She looks great! (y)

That’s one of many things on my To-Do list for my 920. Great job Brad, looking better than new so far!

I hope this thread doesn't go away or get locked down...it's a good central location for info on these trucks (having purchased a M920 last year).
