Funny that this should be posted today as I just had mine installed yesterday on my Sprinter chassis. j-d gave me contact info for the Tire-Man and I talked to Chuck a couple of weeks ago and ordered them and received them right away. Note if you want them quickly make sure you order them before Thursday of the week as Chuck takes all of the orders on Thursday to mail them.
I modified the front wheel liners prior to taking the MH in. Chuck told me the way to do it and it was very helpful. I have already installed my tire monitors on the valve extension. They work just great.
I don't know what Don is talking about as I have had this type in the past and they work great. Maybe he is thinking about the flexable ones. These are stems that are long that reach all the way out and have no extensions on the. The ones that fit on the inner dual area about 8" long.
I also agree with j-d about the rubber valve stems. After you get through chasing them around with the tire gauge they will need air then. I have one heck of a time trying to get the valve to hold steady while I measure and then when I'm trying to get the tire inflator on it holding it steady so air goes in instead of just hissing all over and not getting any air into the tires but losing some more.
