Question about sleeper airbags?

jamom123 · Feb 26, 2015

I have a freightliner m2 with a alumi-bunk sleeper. One of my 3 sleeper airbags is starting to leak they are all too dry rotted to see the numbers. I took it by freightliner and they wouldn't check to see if the airbags they have in stock are the same, unless I let them write up a ticket. Which I did not because i'm not going to pay them if they don't have the righg ones. My question is does anyone know if the airbags they normally keep in stock would be the same or would I have to go through alumi-bunk. Thanks.

Should be the same. Most of the sleeper bags correspond to about 3 different part # which all cross reference to all the bag makers. The biggest thing is how they mount on the air ride unit itself. Most of the after market units are made by Link corp. Should be a female fitting on top the bag and a male on the bottom with a female in the middle of the male to accept the air line.

I'd take a picture of it as best as you can and see if you can match it up that way, there aren't that many different size sleeper air bags, why not contact alumibunk for part number, I'm not sure if they are still around, but that would be my first option

Here is where you will find your specific information. This is the same company that built Alumi-junks.

Thanks everyone for the responses I've contacted crew chief (formerly alumi-bunk). They said the price is $129.00 for each bag. I stopped by a freightliner servicepoint center at a TA today and they told me the same thing as the freightliner dealership order from alumi-bunk because the ones they had were bigger. I thought surely someone else has these things.

So I've been looking at new units being built by AA sleepers and Bolt. Should I add this into the mix or turn and run away?

There is no way those bags should be that much. You should look at the air ride housing and see if its made by Link. I guarantee you it probably is. They should cost about 60 to 80 buck a piece.
