Lmtv ctis wheel hardware

One of my wheels has an extra valve for the ctis and it’s leaking. I can’t find any info on it. Has anyone seen this. Any idea where to find a replacement? I’d be happy with a solid cap to seal it but I have struck out there too. The bright green pic is not my wheel. It’s broke overland but mine is the same. The second pic is the inside of the valve. It has something similar to a needle and seat from a carburetor.

I believe those were only on the fronts of the A0s to easily deflate the tires but I could be mistaken. Just switch it out for a basic elbow.

What Bdog said. They were a pressure regulated deflate valve to lower the fronts to a set pressure in conjunction with ghe suspension compression system to get the truck onto an aircraft.

There is also a procedure on here somewhere using a coin and epoxy to seal them/turn them into a fixed elbow…

Search "Kneeling valve" leaking. You will find ton of comments on them and about the coins + fill with epoxy trick and part number for the oft time hard to get elbow like used on rear tires that does not have the kneeling valve.

I removed my 2 kneeling valves when installing new tires..some say they leak, other stand by them... Spicer make replacement non kneeling valve elbows...$30 each whan I purchased them about 3 months ...but now you have the Biden penalty so they are probably closer to $40.00

Thanks for the info! I’m going to find and try the coin trick first since that will cost a nickel I’m guessing. If it leaks I’ll get the elbow. Thanks for the help!
