SkyKingII Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Been awhile since I have posted but want to congradulate all who designed this new site,I am on the learning curve! Was wondering if any one has any immediate suggestions on replacing rear air bags on 040'Dip-PDQ,ie best price ,availability,and any comments on preferance of Firestone(originals) or Continentals. This is my first failing bag,is it advisable I would assume to replace in pairs? Please advise,it appears from initial research Continentals are approx $30 lessper bag...any down side been experienced by going to continentals? What is fair price for labor or time to change out? Thanks in advance for all the help! I am looking to replace the two behind the axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyKingII Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Thankx for the imput Ron. How many bags did you replace and what brand were they? I found a place called Truckland Trailer.Parts out of Nebraska for $120.00 for Continental Bags and $153 for Firestone plus shipping. ike stated he's sold more than 50 continental bags since January this year no complaints,he claims quality is comparable so I opted forwo Continentals! According to what I was able to get on web these were the best buy. Bruce Crocker 2004 Diplomat 40'PDQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allphase8 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Bruce I only bought one to carry as a spare. Mine looked OK at the last inspection I had. Not sure what brand but my guess is they are all the same just private label form whom ever makes them. Ron 2006 Camelot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fountdf Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Don"t know if this post is being monitored, but I need to replace my Air Bags on a 2002 Diplomat, 3 slide unit, 32,000 GVWR. All of mine are Firestone W01-358-9376 as far as I can tell. Parts List does not have a listing for 2002 Diplomats. But, it has 3 slides and I suppose weight distribution might call for all bags to be 9376 types. Had one bag replaced on rear, and all seem to have same Bellows No. 1T15L-2. And I noticed that some of the bags are using a non-metallic base. any thoughts as to what base might need to be used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
