Silverado 3500 4WD 8-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,345 miles
Valve stem on tire broke, immediate loss of air, it was an inside dually tire which saved me from getting in a wreck. If it would have been a front tire I would have lost control, at the time I was going 50 mph. Could have been fatal.
