I have a 2012 Ford F 450 dual wheel truck and im having problems pumping up the rear inside wheel due to the valve position any feedback would be appreciated.

What exactly is the problem? Are both stems in the same position or opposite each other? You should be able to reach them with an air hose chuck that has 2 heads--one for the inner and one for the outer.

Hi Joe the stems dont line up and i have taken the wheels off and tried to line them up but they dont,also bought the two head air hose but wont sit on the valve properly,then i thought maybe valve extensions.

you don't want the valves to line up, keep them opposite of each other. When you say that the nozzle doesn't sit properly on the valve do you mean that the valve is too close to the wheel opening and the nozzle contacts the rim opening? If so you can slightly bend the valve to give you the clearance you need.

 

The wheel opening are plenty wide, you should be able to put air in--are you trying to use commercial air supplies or your own compressor? You could get a 3" extension for the inner wheel that will place the end of the stem outside the outer rim. You can rotate the outer stem using a crescent/open end wrench to see if you can get that to a better angle.
Your best bet is to get a compressor and use one of the double-headed air chucks that should get to either stem. You would need something like a Porter-Cable/Craftsman pancake compressor--that is what I use.
Meanwhile, the outer rim can be rotated to where the inner and outer stems are 180d apart and that will be best for accessing them.
A good tire shop could be a big help in showing you what to do--on the 450 I have, the rim holes are about the size of a siver dollar, and valve extensions on the inner solved most of my problems.

Thanks Joe for the great feedback i will purchase the extensions tomorrow.
