Ok, so this might sound a little picky and small, but I'm looking for the valve stem caps for my truck. I have the tire pressure monitors, and the valve stems are grey/silver in color, and one of the caps is missing. I went to a dealer near me today and he said all they have is the black ones, and he can't even order the right ones (which sounds like a lie or he was being lazy and didn't even want to look it up). The black ones will look dumb against the rest of the wheel, and I don't want chrome or anything like that (he also warned me against getting metal ones anyway). I just want a new grey/silver plastic cap (I'll probably order several so if it happens again I have spares). Does anyone know where I can find these? Maybe a part number for the factory ones so I can go back and have him order it?

 

for factory part #'s, PM parts/service

 

Thanks mmstar, I just did. Wasn't sure if someone else had found them elsewhere so I thought I'd ask around.

 

Well, ****** one off of a new vehicle at the lazy dealers lot!!

 

Why can't you use metal ones?

 

You know, I had one missing as well. I bought some chrome ones from Wal-Mart of all places......

I was thinking of snatching one from the dealer as well....

 

He told me that they can freeze in place and damage the tire pressure monitors and possibly interfere with the tpm communication. I don't really like the chrome ones anyway, so it doesn't matter to me.

 

Seems like the metal would help boost like an antenna.
