Valve stems

[HoustonDeuce]

So after 1.5 hrs of searching for a readily available and inexpensive valve stem replacement for the FMTV and other wheels and coming up empty handed. Ive decided to create a new thread allowing those who have sources for them to post up their findings. Lets try to make this the end all be all thread for ALL valve stems with part numbers handy.

Myers Tire Supply, online ordering, looks like the Houston store off Washington has closed.

Hi Houston, I can supply the valve stems that you are looking for. I have not chimed in about this because my listing probably belongs in the classifieds but I haven't gotten that far yet. The valve stems that I use are the original FMTV units. What I do is remove all the CTIS equipment and leave the valve stem in the rim. Now at this point you can insert a regular Schrader valve into the end of the brass tube. As a cap I use 1-1/2" long vinyl (rubberish) caps that are typically used as thread protectors. I don't want to get into trouble for the cross posting and belonging in the classifieds section, but I also can supply all the parts needed to do the FMTV to Deuce rim conversion. (but not the plates, see other members for that).

NDT thanks for the info. From myers website:

The last one on the list the "622a" stem looks like a close match to the OEM one. Does anyone know the hole diameter off hand? My wheels are not in my possession at the moment.

13/16" I'll clean out my mail box, sorry.

When I asked Dave about FMTV stems this is what he sent me. I'm not sure if they will fit or not. Hopefully someone can get some use out of those PN's

 

[HoustonDeuce]

Does anyone have the part number for the big rig stems that can be used in replacement for the FMTV wheels?

This also looks like a good option

 

[treeguy]

Yes, that is one option that I had also looked into. The valve tube is a lot longer though.

I did notice that.

I have changed over to some Haltec valve stems. Let me go see if I can find a number for them.

I have seen some short haltec stems but nothing that sticks out of the front of the rim, looking forward to a P/N

 

[gimpyrobb]

They are not where I thought they were. Let me look and get back to you later.

I found these photos from patracy's install thread on Recentered HEMTT wheels. A member by the name of "KBarrell" welded these wheels and included those valve stems with the wheels. I dropped him a PM searching for some more info on them but it appears he has not been active in over two months. If anyone recognizes them please feel free to chime in

 

[treeguy]

Haltech is who I go thru, the pn is AMG-4. These are the originals used on the FMTV wheels.

Those are the ones! they seem to be pretty difficult to come by. shoot me a PM tomorrow when you come up with a number

 

[treeguy]

Silly...........that is what I was trying to show you! I feel your pain, I spent a week searching high and low trying to find those and the wheel studs!
