Yes, from my 45+ years as a truck n auto mechanic, all valve stem cores are the same.
And they sell a little pocket like screwdriver for those cores. Wal Mart might even sell em, or those metal valve stem caps, also have the slot for core removal/tightening. And any auto parts store has em too
Hell, I think a bicycle tube core would work, never tried em, because we always had 1000's of stems and cores on hand at most of my jobs. Sometimes they do leak over time, or "someone" can loosen it to be a "richard".....It is kinda rare to have a leaky 1, but it can happen, the little rubber seal at the bottom of the core gets weak/leaks from age
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
Thanks for the info, Steve. It was very helpful

I recently had a leaking valve stem and had Loves replace the valve stem. For my own personal knowledge I was wondering what types of valve stem/core are used and is it possible to tighten without removing tire? Thanks
