Schrader Valve Extension Problem
Our 2004 E450 rear duals have a braided flexible valve extenders.
The problem is one of the braids has been cut by a sharp edge in the wheel cover and we are basically on the road.
So, while I want to replace these extensions with Tire Man or Borg rigid type it is not in the cards until we get on home turf.
So my question is, are these braided flexible extenders pressured up all the time OR only when the outer valve is pushed in?
If they are pressured up all the time then my only remedy on the raod is going to be to remove them. The tire is NOT LEAKING as it presently sits BUT I do not know how much damage there is beyound the frayed braid outer layer.
