There has got to be a better way to check inside duals

**LoneCowboy** · 04-26-2009, 05:29 PM

Ok, old people, teach me
My Columbia has long valve stems and has caps on them that you just press on (like a cap that lets it's thru) and it's easy to check

The drop deck trailer and the mack are damn near impossible.
The mack esp, I can barely reach the caps, much less actually get an air hose on them.

Does someone make extenders so they are poking thru the front wheel?

ideas?

Link - Cat's Eye, Tire Pressure Maintenance System
$235 EACH axle at KW dealer.

Here are a plethora of systems...
In Focus: Tire monitoring/inflation - CCJ Magazine

If those are too expensive for you, then get some extenders...

Do you have a RV dealer/shop or truck stop in your area? They have everything you need.

NAPA sells a nice metal valve extender. I don't like the cheap plastic ones.

But for dual tires..here's a place that has dual tire extenders. Wheel Masters: Hoses & Extenders

edit: too late, Paul beat me to it.

I see Kenny bet me to it. Valve extender are very common on motorhomes. If you go this way need to make sure you get a brand/model that attaches the extension adequately so they can't come loose due to forces while traveling.

prob a good idea to win the film nobody here stocks it, even the dealers that Eurika sent to me. Got me hooked on a sample can or two, now I can't locally buy it.

Alan, my John Deere dealer stocks it here in Alabama. Have you checked with the John Deere dealers in your area? Also, the Fluid Film website indicates that International Trucks may have it as well. If none of those do, I would suggest you contact Fluid Film directly.
Good luck
