[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16416588, member: 9628"] Here is a side-by-side comparo between the 2013/14 GT500 stem on left and two alum. bolt together valve stems center and right...............I believe the stem on the right was installed in a Black Alcoa that was originally installed on a 2011 Super Snake by Shelby. The stem in the middle was something I bought..... [ATTACH=full]1639731[/ATTACH] By the color and the heavier weight, I believe the 2013/14 stem is stainless, not aluminum. Also note the difference in the seal area on these two stems below. The reason why the 2013/14 stem can be torqued to 75in. lbs. is because there is a "stop" area that sticks up around the rubber seal and keeps the seal contained, the alum. stem has no stop and at some point the rubber seal would "squish out" for lack of a better description while being torqued. [ATTACH=full]1639732[/ATTACH] The link in the post above look more like the valve stems on the center and right in my pictures, not the 2013/14, however, those stems may be the "non-Ford replacement" for the 2013/14 GT500, but they do not appear to be as robust, not saying that they couldn't go 200mph.... Plastic valve stem caps are usually indicators of "cheaper" construction or "shortcuts" to keep cost down. R [/QUOTE]
