I don’t know, tell me what that does say because I really liked the air ride suspension and because I realize it’s a factory system and that I’m well aware of its potential problems, I bought the warranty to cover my ass of anything ever happens to it and not everybody who has it has problems. But you know, it’s almost kinda like you have to at least be a little bit of a fan to get it and understand it but since you seem to be neither of those, I don’t expect you to agree with anything I said or gonna say about it.Do yourself a real favor, and don't buy an air ride truck to begin with. If you have to buy an extended rip-off because you bought an air ride truck, doesn't that say something?
You need bags in back because you carry heavy loads, or pull a trailer a lot, I get that. But if you bought it because you're too lazy to get off your butt, and crank on a jack, then get your money ready.
I drive old UPS tractors for a living; I have for a 27 years. Air systems are great for the first few years. After that, they're constantly leaking. In the winter, when everything contracts because its cold, I just figure on letting the old Mack run for at least 5 minutes to build up pressure. But I'm getting paid, and I'm not in a hurry.
Like all the electronic crap they put on trucks nowadays, air ride is a solution looking for a problem.
I’m pretty sure you’re not talking to me because yes, I’ve said it, the air ride works really well for hitching up trailers like it does when I slide my Pete 379 under a different trailer at the yard but no, that’s not why I bought it. I bought it because I like the ride.
