I use the valve caps that are used on my employers 737 aircraft, they are brass, with a recess in the rubber seal inside for the valve stem pin to rest in and not have a chance of depressing the pin .
SW airlines?  I think I saw one landing here in vegas with a flat tire today.

Yeah, SW, every time you change a tire, you have to loosen the valve core to deflate the tire, so you can't put the valve cap back on .

End result, you get a tool box full of the caps after a while .

So I've got them on all of the vehicles .

Well, thanks Bob.........guys....turned out it was the valve cap. My valve cap that shows red if the pressure drops below 32 psi. Replace the valve cap......problem solved. They do make a green slime just for tubes but glad I didn’t have to use it.
