Rubber stem for TPMS?

Rubber stem for TPMS?
I remember someone claiming that they had a shop replace the aluminum stems with rubber ones that worked with the TPMS. Anyone have a brand or a link? Damn things are really ticking me off, 4th one broke today and at $40 a pop to get the tire demounted, new stem and nut it is getting a bit old.
Some safety feature, in 25 years of driving I've never had a valve stem go bad until I got the aluminum crap that they used on this truck.

I've been having them done at the local tire shop, guess I'll have to make a trip in to the dealer.

Just bought a set of 4 for $68
Unfortunately now I need to decide if I'm going to chance 400 miles of towing with no spare or get the one bad stem replace in the next couple days and then replace them all when I get new tires.

Can't use just the stems since they attach in a different way to the sensor than the 09 which is a through fit rather than screw in.
Did the hi-lift trick and pulled the sensor out of my tire, so for the short term I'll just pick up one more metal stem kit and fix it until I'm back from vacation and ready to buy the new tires
