tire pressure and valve stem issues
Thanks for the advice in advance. I have a two parter although somewhat related. 1. I recall reading somewhere a long time ago that my recommended tire pressure on my 25ft class C is 80 per tire....

I have an F350 dually. Recommended tire pressure is 75 for the fronts and 65 for the four rears. Just posting in case it helps you figure out your problem.
One question - What is the maximum air pressure stamped on the side of your tires ? I would also re-verify what the factory recommends.
The little valve stem core tool is cheap and you can probably find it at any auto store or Sears. There used to be metal valve stem caps that had the notch in the top so you could use them to check tightness of valve stems cores. Kind of lost favor I think because there was the fear that someone could use it to unscrew your valve stems cores and then toss them in the ditch. Hahaha ! KILL !
Personally, I run the tires on my truck and my fiver at the factory recommended pressure. I figure they know more about that then I do.
Re the loss of air pressure. Tires will lose AP naturally over time. And the time of day that you measure the pressure does matter. The pressure can be higher on a hot day, as opposed to measuring it early on a cool morning. And you shouldn't measure AP right after driving it as the reading will be artificially high.
