This may be a silly question, but this is my first dually.

What do you recommend for a permanent-type valve extender that will work well for airing up, and checking pressure, of dually rears, especially the inners? I've seen some on a website, but there are rubber and braided, some for lined or not, and I don't know quite what that means.

All I want is something so that I can quickly and easily check pressure with my gauge, and be able to fit the nozzle of the pressure hose on.

Thanks.

wexman just buy a gauge and air chuck with two ports like used on big trucks with dualls like our trucks

Be careful of the extenders that use the hose to bring a fitting out to where you can get at it. I had the braided (the "good" ?? one) on one of my motorhomes. It cost me a set of tires. As suggested, just get the dual offset gauge and chuck. I have a gauged chuck that is great - - very accurate and quick.

I agree with FiverBob. My Dad also had a problem using an extension. A load of soybeans makes for lots of shoveling. Stay with the suggestion of the extended gauge and chuck.

Thanks guys. Now, where can I get one of these handy dandy items? Any auto store, like Pep Boys?

Yep. Or Wally Mart.

I just go to a tire shop and get some 2 inch steel screw on valve extenders..that along with the long handle offset air chuck is the answer
