Valve stem extenders for inner wheels (DRW)
Can anyone recommend a good product for a dually inner wheel valve stem extender? What are the downsides of using any of these, if any? Thanks!

I honestly can't remember the brand, but I used valve extenders on an F350 many years ago...used for about 5 years. No leaks. I'd check pressure about 1x per month or before a long trip and there simply wasn't any leakage.
Again, don't recall the brand, but: they were SS braided hose (not a sheath); they had a mounting system that attached to the outer wheel to hold the extended stem; they were a PITA to put on (but that was more than made up for in the ease of use over the years); and I got them at the (then-local-to-Ewestun) heavy duty truck store (not walmart, not amazon, not an RV place, not CW, and not at ACE or even Tractor Supply). They were quite expensive (seem to recall $125+ in 2006 dollars) but it was a buy-once / cry once scenario.
No duallies in the fleet today, but I'd get the extenders again if I had a dually.
This pretty much matches my experience- for two different trucks ranging from 1990 to 2005. With emphasis on no on line or "consumer" type suppliers.
