AIR EXTENDERS

How many use valve stem extenders on your dually, if so what kind. Pros & cons, I can't get my hand in the hole to remove the cap just to check air pressure or add air..

I've used them with no problem,NEVER use them with a TPMS!
The best fix would be a tire shop,install longer stems.

Sweet looking Denali! I just bought the Sierra and found that the plastic insert on the rear wheel pops off very easy. I didn't need any kind of tool - just pulled it off with my hands. Then I could reach both valve stems with both my pressure gauge and my air compressor 6" chuck. My pressure gauge is one from Tractor Supply - 6 inch chuck attached to about a 6" hose and a round-face pressure readout. Works like a champ.

Thanks for the info, will try it, we are fulltimers and I check the tires allot. Your truck looks allot like ours,a great looking ride, so far we are enjoying it, we now have almost 300 miles on it.

Thanks for the compliment, we are enjoying it. I think we are heading to CA after we leave South TX, in about month 1/2, maybe our paths will cross. (hopefully)

Thanks, our son is a manager of a tire shop and was discouraging us from using the extenders as rocks and mud can get up there and break them he thought but, I am thinking like you, and will put them on IF I can find the right ones!

We just bought metal ones from camping world, 4 inch long ones for the inside tire, and U shaped ones for the outside tire. They're made out of metal so I don't think they'll get hurt by mud or stones. Just put them on 2 days ago check the air today and no leaks.
