Then you probably found BORG Dually Valves. My valves are Borg, short for Bill Falkenborg, and I can vouch for Bill's fast helpful service. His site was down awhile but it's running now. Chuck Carvitto's Tire-Man site is easier to find. Bill's kits are less expensive with the same quality, you just get a rear kit instead of a six wheel kit. Tires don't have to be dismounted to install this kit. I'm sure, though, the bead needs to be broken down.
You said two key words which are "RUBBER VALVES" and you really want to be rid of those.
Listen, Brother, I was a holdout. Several years of frustrating tire checks. Try to do it with the simulators on. Finally take them off. Still couldn't keep the air gauge or chuck on with that rubber stem. If tire didn't need air before I started it did by the time I got the gauge to stay on without leaking. Meanwhile guys here were saying Do It. Best Thing You Can Do. You'll Love Them. All true.
Bill and Chuck are great guys with great products and service. I started with Bill and he's the one I can recommend from personal experience. Chuck is another "Nice Guy" (in Bill's words). The only way you can goof this decision is to not get rid of the rubber valves and install something that won't leak and you can access. For most dual wheels, that takes you to Bill and Chuck.
Ditto j-d. Ordered from Bill Falkenborg & well worth the cost. You'll probably need a professional to install.
