Isata 5 rear tire stems

I couldn’t get to the air stem to put air in or a gauge to check the tire pressure on the inside tires of my 2018 I5. So I took it up to my local commercial tire dealer. Dealer advised me that the inside tire stems were not the correct stems for a dually. So here I sit at the tire shop waiting for them to remove outer tires so we can put proper air pressure into the inner tires and change the stems to the correct ones.

Anyone else have this problem?

I have a 3500 RAM dually and they should be the same as yours.
1st. The inner and outer wheel stems should be staggered so one does not interfer with the other.
2nd. I purchased a air hose chuck? Don't know the correct name, that has a straight fitting that can reach straight in to the stem.
After that it was a piece of cake to air up the inside tire.

They were not staggered, they are now. I purchased the hose fitting for a dually...problem was the stem were not straight.. they were at a slant so it was impossible to get to them/a tight seal to check pressure or add air

We don't do anything with the Ram valves...so that would have been an Ram/Dodge/FCA mess up there.
