Tire Man Valve Extenders for dual tires
can anyone using Tire Man valve extenders for rear dual tires give me information on their performance? Are they worth the near $300 cost to have them installed?

Caps linked above are what I mentioned in Baja Man's other thread.
YES, adding one of those caps will let you check and add air with the shortest of metal stems.
FYI, it's the way Ford arranged the rim and the hole. You don't notice it with a short rubber valve, like Ford delivers with, because it'll flex enough to let you get a gauge and chuck onto it.
The Borg and Tire Man stems are made of Brass. So "Brass" is natural brass, and "Chrome" is chrome over brass. I think it's $10 additional. So my brass Dually Valves (Borg) are DL-1E. In Chrome, DL-1EC, which is what Camping World is selling.
I like the idea of the rubber Stabilizer. That inner stem is very long and that's a lot of unsupported weight. Which is why the Stabilizer goes in the OUTER wheel even though it's for the INNER valve.
