mercer transportation

I don't know, maybe your ride height is screwed up and the bags are never fully inflated, then with the movement/bumps of the roads its creating extra stress on the edges of the bags (assuming they are cracking and leaking on the rolled edges). But if that were the case I'd think you'd notice an extra rough ride and would lead to drive line problems.... just a shot in the dark

 

Could be ride height. Called the dealer long time ago about it they said put a level in door jam... problem is level says front of truck needs to be 5 inches higher lol

 

Is the trailer supposed to be even with the door of the truck? That seems like it would vary too much between trucks and trailers and all the different models to be a standard answer. Or did I misunderstand?

 

CK to be sure the last air bags you had put on your truck last time were not made in china?? I bought one air bag that did not last 6 mo. it had no marking on bag like most but on steel plate that it bolted on had made in China stamped in it, it was half as thick as firestone bag i bought in truck parts store

 

Ride height isnt measured by a level in the door, maybe for the cab but not the frame

 

It's the cab airbags that are the problem

 

Oh I didn't realize you were talking about cab airbags..... When is the last time you replaced your cab shocks?

 

I can't remember where I heard it, maybe from Mike Beckett's podcast, but I'm pretty sure ride is truck specific...

 

A year ago

 

I don't know man, I was thinking maybe your shocks are bad and causing your airbags to prematurely deteriorate. Could have just been a bad airbag.... those are cheap. I went through 3 starters in 4 or so months, not so cheap.
