dually problem

I am looking for some long valve stems for the inside wheels on my 2012 dually. I don't want extensions I want replacement stems that will be long enough to reach out at least even with the hole in the outer rim. No help at the dealer, does anybody know where I can find them ??? Thanks

Large Truck Tire Store? Like one of the ones at a Loves Truck stop. Just an idea.

Hello daily double and welcome to FTE.

Isn't the TPMS built into the valve stem?

By looking at my window sticker on the tuck that I don't have yet ( it was ordered 10.5 weeks ago ) the TPMS is deleted on the DRW.

What I did on my 2000 DRW was use something like this but shorter

Cool

I don't have TPMS on my "12, and I am thinking about going to a truck tire shop and see if they will bore out the hole so that I can use one like the 18 wheelers use. I would think this would be a simple problem to fix but believe me it's not!! I have 17" wheels and I don't want to go and get 6 new wheels!

Do you want longer stems because you are having difficulty filling the tires with air?

I use the Milton 516 air chuck. It works great for dual tires. My '09 probably has the same factory valve stems as your '12.

Welcome to FTE!

I think I know what you are talking about. Are you looking for the extended hose type leading from the tire valve or a one piece replacement option? The hose extension will be your best option since will be probably the most cost effective. My father has a set on his motorhome. They are about 12 inches long and made out of stainless steel braid. There is some hardware to attach to the outer wheel. Very classy and easy to use.

I hope this helps and good luck with the new truck.
