I did a deep cleaning of the carpets, and checked/aired up tires. What a pain in the butt to do the rears. On my back with a flashlight to get to the inner rears (after pulling the wheel liners). I'm not sure how much a tire shop will charge to put in new longer valve stems, but I'm thinking it's probably worth whatever they charge! :B
I assume you have a proper dually inflation chuck, with dual heads, and likewise tire gauge? Without them, it is nearly impossible to do anything with duallies. The kind with the end chuck on the foot straight in line with the tube work better (at least on my rig) than the more common ones where it's angled somewhat.
Air through valve caps help a good bit, in that they act like very short extensions as well as being good valve caps (that you don't need to remove for general tire maintenance). Unlike bigger valve extensions, I've never heard of them causing problems or leaks.
