Does anyone know where I can get a good dually tire chuck. I'm getting really frustrated with adjusting the air pressure in my dually every time I use my RV. Does anyone make a clip on style tire chuck with a built in gauge that works with duallies? Check out this tire chuck http://jeepin.com/features/inflator This chuck seems nice but if you use the attachment that allows filling dually tires it doesn't clip on. I'd like one that clips on and stays on until I'm done adjusting pressure. There's nothing that's more of a pain in the you know what than adjusting tire pressure at 5am (before a trip with the RV because the tires were still hot the previous night) when it's dark and having to feel around for the valve just to have it slip off and having to go fishing for it again.
 
I doubt if you'll find one that clips on for a duelly due to the limited space. What you can do though is buy some tire stem extenders and use them only while airing combined with a standard lock on chuck.
 
How do you use the valve stem extenders only while airing? Aren't they difficult to install/uninstall without taking off the wheels?
 
I used steel braided extension on mine and have for years. I pop rivited ends to the center cap. Never had a problem with balance or vibration but I do offset them 180 degrees apart may help. One caution if you get a screw and have a flat or for some reason the inside dual gets real low on air the side wall can hit the extension and break it or otherwise make it loose and now the outside will lose air as well. Other than that I love them for ease of checking tire pressure and raising and lowering the pressure as needed. Oh one last thin use metal vlave stems not rubber or you will sure have a problem after awhile.
