F350 Dually valve Extensions

[NEnative]

Purchased my first dually back in February. Never thought that checking or adding air to the inner tires would be so much of a problem. You need the hands of a 5 year old to get in there. What is the solution to this problem and any pros and cons?

Thanks travelinman,I did not know about the caps being designed like that.

You think that's bad? Try not paying attention when mounting the tires and putting the outer dual on ONE lug off, then putting all the tools and jack away, then driving the truck around for a month, then going to check the pressure when you're getting ready to leave for a trip.

Why not just get a tire gage that is designed for a truck. Long with dual ends and then no need to stick you hand inside of the duals. You do know that the OEM cap used on the tires is a flow thru and doesn't need to be taken off to check pressure or add air?

The Tire Man valve stems mentioned earlier would be my choice,quick and easy to check the pressure in all tires. They come with flow-thru stem caps.

I used Borg Clicky on our e450 based class C. What a pain to air up without them. Easy after the install.

I had the Tire Man extended dually valve kit on my F350 dually. Very easy to check the pressure on both inner and outer wheels with the Tire Man kit. The tires have to be dismounted to bolt the new valves to the wheels.

I feel your pain! I have a 2013 F350 Dually - ordered a Acme Digital tire gauge #A567 with dual foot, one being offset for the inside dual wheel for approx. $30 delivered. Works great, but still not as easy as checking the outside wheel. I also installed a TST Tire Pressure Monitoring System - used the "Flow thru sensors" on the inside duals, so now the system monitors the air pressures for me and I only use this gauge when changing air pressures as needed for load size changes which is not often.
