Valve stem extensions

Hello.
We just installed these on our 2016 Chevy dually diesel. The aluminum rims were too thick to fit the clamps on, that come with the flexible extensions. We opted for solid steel extensions that mount through the rim and extend 7” out through the outside dual rim. These came from a semi truck tire shop. They do have to deflate the tire and change the stem. No mounting supports needed. These run on most big trucks everyday. They were not too expensive. I think they were $11 each. Labor to dismount the tire was the biggest thing. Well worth it.
Now my tire pressure monitoring sensors can easily be installed from the outter wheel.
Easy fix if you go to a commercial truck tire center.

Best of luck.
Randy.
