Do I have a none factory issued rim on my 2009 Express Van? 3 welded / 1 rubber
What is your question?
Recently noticed different valve stem on one of my rims. One being the"flexible" rubber type and the other three appearing to be welded/bolted as if part of the rim. When did manufactures start doing this or is this standard on a 3/4 ton vehicle? Would I have to replace the rim or is this something that can be added to current rim?

There are different types of valve stems, somewhere along the line one got changed! Any problem with a leak or anything? Either/or should work just fine. Either can be installed. The bolt in type can be removed and reinstalled, the other type cant.
No leaks and no problems with the tire pressure system, this is working fine. I did ask at an STS Tire and was told that GM switched from the bolt in type to the rubber snap in type. The sensor for pressure is in the stem and nothing to do with rim. Thanks.
