I tried that after watching another video on removal but I just scratched it. With the valve extensions, there is no way to put the caps back on anyway so it's ok. I took the front caps off too.
Thank you very much. I'm glad it's helpful. I've had them on for about a week now and they seem to be working great. I'm easily able to check my tire pressure with a gauge, especially the inward tire, with ease.
Since my caps were scratched, I went ahead and cut slots in my caps where the valve brackets protruded with a Dremel. It works great, but I may not have cut into new caps.
I tried it at 1.5 but it sounds as though I've had too much caffeine. I played it at 1.25 and it sounds spot on. Normal speed sounds like I just rolled out of bed and decided to make a video.
Thank you. I bought them from Amazon but I don't think they sell them anymore because I can't find them. They are universal and should fit any vehicle but what I discovered was two of the four are specific ones for the rubber stems and the others for metal stems.
They're working great. However, I noticed the valve stems on the inner tires are different than that of the outer so I had to ensure I tightened them well or else they would leak. No problems and it makes manually checking the pressure a breeze.
@@alltruckedup2024 Thanks for the response, I think these are in my future. Is your new trailer a gooseneck or fifth wheel? Curious about clearance with your toolbox.
I sold my Big Tex gooseneck trailer and used the profit to pay for a CDL school. I'm doing CDL RV transport now and I haul mainly 5th wheel trailers. I had to cut down my tool box that is mounted aft of my 5th wheel to make it clear for the pin. I'll be doing some more videos soon once I get out on the road again.
Yes, I believe you can. Although I didn't reinstall my center caps. Of all the things I have put on the truck, these have held up and been the most useful.
I attempted to reinstall the center cap, but due to the snug fit and close tolerances the cap would not fit with the new valve stem extension components installed, so I used a Dremel to cut slots into the center caps. If you notice, the center caps have two opposing attachment-lugs that are unused (by design) to affix the hub caps to the rim; That’s where I cut slots for the valve stem brackets. Just my two cents…
