I would suggest a dab of anti seize on the stem threads for those that have metal stems and metal caps...next time...or before it corrodes.
This problem seems to be common on many 2009 Rams.
If the valve stems are exposed to salt I would say anti seize is a must.
I do not know if the metals are different...if so anti seize is a must.
My caps are plastic.
You can pick up anti seize from most any auto parts store or marine store.
Thanks to Gov. Perry and the Castle Doctrine, which has been extended to include your vehicle, you don't need one to carry a handgun in your vehicle. Besides, I travel across counties everyday, so even before the castle doctrine I could carry in the vehicle.
