**earthmover** · 03.15.2012

whats a good place to find the air bags that are under the cab of trucks??? also would like to replace the leveler as it has a little leak.. this is a freightliner dump truck...i have the part #'s from the dealership but cant seem to find them..they will have to order them and its about 175.00..thought i may could find some cheaper and save a few dollars..(just return to work) thanks mike

If you have the part # (which is probably a Freightliner number) you can cross that to a different brand by going to some of the big air bag manufacturers websites. Then you can take the numbers to a smaller parts place that can probably get them cheaper and quicker.

Some numbers are exclusive to dealer Parts and can't be crossed. Try ford and western star for the same number and go with the best deal.

some air bags are interchangable, really there are 2 ore 4 types of air bags, so remove your and look at bags in shop. Some chenese are twice cheapper firestone, but no info about durability

In my WS, I jack up the cab a couple inches past the bag height. Dump all air out of the system. Push the ferrule toward the bag to release the air supply hose. Then I pull out the air bag (nothing retaining it at all). Replace the same way.
