Couple of months ago I had a front tire blowout and was forced to replace all tires. They were 7 years old. I guess I waited too long. After new tires ( Hankook) were installed I started having problems with the dually wheels. The TMPS would not give me any readings on rear inner tires and I would not be able to add some air to them as well. So, after studying the subject I decided to purchase dually valve stems. Went to America's Tires store with dually valve stems in my hand. They accepted the work. After couple of hours, the four rear wheels had new, chrome dually valve stems installed. Now, I can easily check the rear tire pressure and my TMPS finally gives me accurate readings not error codes. I waited too long for this to happen. I highly recommend this upgrade for convenience and safety. America's Tires charged me for removing, installing new valve stems and balancing 4 rear wheels $50. This was best money I could ever spend. After work was completed I had to enlarge the hand hole in the wheel simulator so the inner wheel stem would not touch the wheel simulator. That part was easy. The dually valve stems were purchased from https://yourtireshopsupply.com/ I called them, talk to Kelli and she was very helpful and knowledgeable.
My 2015 Thor Axis 24.1 has 16" wheels and the valves I purchased were DL3FC. There is another model DL1FC which is recommended by Ford but these two are identical. The DL1FC is just 1" shorter than DL3FC. Actually, longer stems worked better for me. The set also comes with rubber wheel stabilizers. Here are few pictures.
