Anybody found the angled chuck with different offset?
On new Ford the straight is too straight, the angled is too angled.
I already broke 1 straight chuck trying to give it slight angle.

...best of both worlds, LOL, until you have a flat tire, and both go flat in short order.
You cut the quote short, so no wonder you don't understand how it works.
1. crossfire has emergency flow shut-off valve
2. TPMS will sound the alarm with only few psi pressure drop.
Lot of time to pull over and take care about the business.
What you are talking about?
Both TPMS and tire equalizers work on any type of wheel just fine.
Just last month my friend lost $250 tire becouse without TPMS by the time he noticed low pressure the cords were gone.
That 1 day before his vacations (with the car) on custom tire size, so the tire price was the lower stress.

For such purpose I sure would buy tire equalizers.
Hard to beat the valve in front of your nose (when you are on your knees) and the automatic equalizing 2 tires with single shot.
You never said it, but do you have TPMS?
I know they are mandatory on cars for few years, but trucks can be exempt.
As far as I understand
-valve extensions are add-on tubings or hoses that have independent valve on the end and keep the original valve open all the time. .
-extended valve is a sleeve with pin inside, that is pushing original valve, while not holding the pressure in it.
The 1st adds additional connection to the set up, what proved to be weak link.
I personally lost a tire when I used tire equalizer without TPMS.
The 2nd seem to be pretty reliable, but still additional gizmo.
I think we have the same issue with new duallies, where none of 2 chuck designs would fit directly, but since the tires need air less than once a year, I just use flat chuck that goes between the tires.
Some additional work, but once a year I can handle that.
