Thanks to Coffey1 for his assistance. I tried your suggestion and three tires appear to be working. I'll test deflation tomorrow. Here are some pics of what I have.

The valve needs a new valve stem, the silver part. The valve stem coming out of the tire, the brass part, needs to be replaced. It won't accept air for some reason. Where can I get these parts?

Looks like it has a schrader valve in it. Take out the schrader valve put it all back together. Or swap it with your spare tire then you can play with it in time.

Put it back together? Is it supposed to have a Schrader valve in it?

PS that brings up another problem. The spare and four extra wheels that I purchased with my truck don't fit my truck. Need to sell them.

Not there. I can see at the bottom what looks like a quick release piece that takes the place of the right angle coming off the valve stem and going to the hose that goes to the ctis valve. These things are notorious leakers. I believe an o ring can be replaced inside of it. Take the schrader valve out of the stem and put it back together. I will warn you that someone didn't put it there for no reason. But seeing that the tire is flat I am thinking air is leaking elsewhere. Once you get it back together and aired up, get the windex out and start spraying looking for bubbles.

Yup there is a flat screw head on top when you "unscrew" it, it allows for flattering the tire fast. That's where they leak from. I hate them things. Put it all together minus the schrader valve in the stem and go from there.

With a schrader valve in the stem it won't do anything. That's why the tire is flat. Someone tries to fix a tire that was going flat but the problem is most likely elsewhere on the wheel.

Ok removed Schroeder valve. Tire inflates despite a slow leak at the quick deflate angle valve. However rear tires don't deflate. Sound of venting air in vicinity of center of rear axle but tires don't deflate. Suggestions?
