THERE IS CURRENTLY A COMPLAINT FOR THE 2500 DODGE SPRINTERS, FOR VALVE STEM FAILURE. WHAT ABOUT THE 3500? I'VE HAD THREE VALVE STEM FAILURES SO FAR AND NO RECOURSE. WHY IS THE 2500 DIFFERENT THAN THE 3,500? TWO HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ONE JUST LET GO WHILE PARKED. LUCKILY TWO WERE ON THE REAR DUALS AND I HAD THE OTHER TIRE TO BEAR THE WEIGHT. *TR
