I could learn to hate.......................

............dually trucks. Don't tell me to run down to the tire store and let them do it. I am in the country. My hand is too fat to get between the tires and getting through to the inside tire nearly shaves a layer of skin off. Taking off and putting on the Pressure Pro sensors is a trip too, especially putting them back on.

It is a day's work standing on your head or laying on the ground at 35 degrees. Next, what do you believe, the gauge on the air line or the sensor. There is a one to two pound difference. Well, hecky darn, it's done now, until it needs it again.

We have nearly the same truck and I feel your pain. Helen has to use her small hand to get to the inside dually to check air pressure. You are correct about the couple of pound difference between air pressure taken at the valve stemm or as observed at the monitor....Which is the one to go by??? We decided to set it at 80ps1 as read at the monitor. Why....just did....

We have only had the Pressure Pro for 10 months and I've already installed and removed those sensors twice. Still, would not be without the Pressure Pro system nor the dually but the situation is exactly what you say it is. I use those locking nuts on the sensor and getting that wrench on the inside dual to lock them can really test your patience!!!

Don't have a dually but do thank you, Stiles, for giving me a clean way to say Gee Whiz. Love your Hecky Darn.

I gather extended stems are not possible on the dually? I had them on my MH but no sensors.

I use the extended stems on my dually. They are great. No way I'd ever be able to get to the rear wheel stem. The one I have are not solid but they are heavy duty and have flexible steel on them. I've had them for several years and so far no problems.

I use the flexible extensions on mine and I set my pressure according to the digital guage I use and let the Pressure Pro adjust. That way I know what the real pressure is at the tire, which, after all, is the most important. I really don't worry about 1-2 lb difference....

[BB_TX]

I would think 1-2 lbs would be within the normal expected error range of the monitors and gauges. At 80 lbs, that is only 1%-2%.

[Waynem]

At 78 pounds cold, or 80 pounds cold, once you start down the hiway they both will be above and within operating range.

On my 2005 F350 King Ranch, Long Bed, Crew Cab, Dually, I ran the flexible metal mesh extensions. What a time saver they were when checking. Unfortunately I did not have pressure sensors so I don't know about the application on the extension.

If you do get the extension you may not be able to secure the extension to the wheel with the anchors supplied for the chrome allow rims. I just let mine "hang" and since the wheel is turning the extension just turned with it. In one years time I never had one area of noticeable rub wear.

Edited: I also would never be without a Truck Tire Pressure Gauge, similar to this and of good quality. It makes checking that inside dual so much easier.

I would only use metal mesh extenders.

I had dully valve stems installed on my RAM. Now the System Pro is really easy to install or remove.
