Some of you already know that I had a blowout with my new trailer two weeks ago. It ended up being a lose valve stem causing the leak. Today I checked the other valves to see if they were OK. I used a torque wrench at the 40 inch pounds as recommended by Tredit. Tredit is the company that supplies the tires and wheels to Heartland. All of the other three stems were lose. In fact one was extremely lose. I was able to tighten the one without the rachet just using my fingers on the socket. I more then likely would have had another tire blow.
just wanted everyone to know what I have found. Perhaps checking valve stems once in awhile is not a bad idea. Hope this helps someone else.
