Valve stem extension

[carl.swoyer]

Getting ready to replace my tires on my Silverado dually.
I have the polished aluminum rims.
To accept the TST TECHNOLOGIES TPMS sensors, which valve extension should I purchase.
I have the non pass thru sensors. So to top off the tires I have to remove the sensors.
Thanks in advance.

You'll want the high pressure metal stems. NO RUBBER. I knew this but when I got new tires they put on the ones that are metal setting in rubber. Didn't make 100 miles before the stem cracked.
see below link for example of the stems you need

If you have metal stems already, you don’t need extensions

I would call TST tech line & see what they tell you

We have a dually and TST and do not use an extension.

Same for me. I do have the flow-through on inside dually but they are old style and don’t let me fill easy so I remove them to fill. Wouldn’t need extensions with non flow-through.

Skipping the extensions is probably what I'll do.
Thanks everyone.

When I had a Class C, I used a set of Wheel Masters valve extenders for the inside wheels. They worked well for my non flow through sensors. I now use them on my current RV. You do have to replace them every for years because they will, like tires, crack over time.

How the heck are you supposed to put an air chuck on these if on inside dual?

I use an angled inflator

if you put sensor on the end of extension the temp sensor reading will be way off. I run flow sensor on wheel and put extension on inside dually so can reach better. going on 4 years with no problem

Great point.
Which extension are you using?
