Tom, Not sure what your wheels look like, but, on my '12 DRW RAM Laramie I have Alcoa Aluminum wheels with small holes. The outer stem points inward and the factory mounted the DRW wheels with the stems facing each other.

I removed the wheels and reinstalled so the stems are 180 from each other.

I went to a large truck tire shop. There is a metal cap that looks like a regular valve stem cap, except you air thru it. I installed 6 of these. (my inner dual had a 2" plastic extension that I removed) (the cap is basically a 1/2" extension made of metal. Used on 18 wheel trucks)

Caps look like this http://www.alcoa.com/alcoawheels/nor..._valve_cap.asp

Next, buy a tire gauge with the head that is straight, not angled like most. I can check and air now all 6 with out removing any caps. I also bought the air chuck that is straight. You can find both at truck stops and at parts stores that deal with truck stuff.

Looks like this http://www.amazon.com/Milton-S986-Se...pressure+gauge

Hope this helps. Jim
