Do an online search for dually valves. I got mine from a place called “Your Tire Shop” on line. There is a lot of information there to help you choose the correct kit. The valve for the outside wheel turns about 120 degrees so the valve ends facing out in the center of one of the openings. The one for the inside wheel is straight but like 8 inches long. It ends in the center of one of the outside wheels openings as well and there is a rubber insert in the opening to support the end of the long stem. Of course you have to remove the wheel and tire to replace the valves. Mine cost $110 for the valves and $100 to remove and remount the tires at a local tire shop. The only downside I can see is that it limits your tire rotation options to switching sides for the back wheels. Does not seem like much of a downside in our case as we probably will replace the tires before they wear out anyway. I hope someone comes up with an internal TPMS sender like cars have by the time I need new tires. My TireMinder system does not have that option. Good luck.
