For anyone that has installed Dually Valve stems on a Ford F53, can you tell me which size rubber grommet was required ? The kit comes with two sizes and I am told that you may not know which size is required till you pull out the old stem. I will have someone install them and would like to know that the tire guy installs the correct grommet. I have an 06 F53 with 19.5 Accuride steel rims.
Thanks
As they told you it will depend on what size hole that you have. Just wondering , why are you replacing them. They should last many years since they are metal on the outside and the inner rubber is protected.

I'll be he's replacing the factory 1" long stems, just like we all do.

The Dually Valve stems are built so it's easy to check the tire pressure on the inner and outer duals. They eliminate the need for flexible extensions.

Correct, I am replacing the original equipment short stems. Outside had a 1 inch extension (facing in) and I could get to it with dual foot guage. Inside had about 8" braided flexible extension and could get to it ok also. Had had problems with braided flexible extensions on a previous MH and just wanted to go to solid metal stems before I add TPMS sensors. The "Dually Valves" came with 2 sizes of rubber grommets. If there was a correct one to use on the 19.5 Accuride steel rims (#29875), I wanted to know before I turned them over to the tire shop guy. Comments appreciated. This is a great forum.
