    Get ready for sticker shock for the cab airbag/shock replacement. :-(

    Unlike any other truck, the ProStar has a airbag/shock combo - one unit - pricey at around $425 EACH!! Had one let go couple of months back, the nthe other last Friday. Very poor design.

    Isn't the seal. It's the mirror. When the in a x wind, the wind pulls the mirror away from the door, breaking the seal and creating a gap. Very poor design which Intl acknowledges but naturally will do nothing about.

    Yep....500 per side was the quote from the shop.
    Monroe makes them and sells them on Amazon for under 200 each.

    They are a strut with an airbag around them...poor design.
