Yup, it's always something with these trucks...lol, I know that feeling all too well. I've had to replace all but one of my valve stems so far, seemed as though every week I went out to the truck it was flat because of the valve stem....I don't even want to know about my spare, that tire has been up there so long. LMAO.
Be glad you don't live any farther north! There are 3 or more things that can happen with the spare
1) Stays up there and holds air
2) cable snaps and tire goes bouncing across the highway due to rusted cable
3) you are under the truck and the tire falls on your chest due to rusted cable
I have personally had the last two happen
I looked under my 96 one time only to see that by cable had broken and my brand new matching spare tire and freshly painted rim had went missing

If I currently had a spare and it went missing I think I'd have bigger issues than a rusted cable
