Jeff,

I am not ordering them. Pam should order them directly from MTS. All we are doing is presenting Firestone with enough orders to actually get them on the production scheduling list.

Certain person that I need to talk with that is taking our orders?
Sure I can find phone number on google.   Since Jeff volunteered me  LOL  He likes doing this! 
Ours is same part number correct?

Thanks
Pam

Since the estimated "end of January" ship date has come and gone, I contacted Dave at Michigan Truck Spring today looking for an update.

Firestone has now moved the ship date out to mid March. 

As of now Dave said he has 24 of these bags on order with Firestone - hopefully that's enough to get them into production.

Thanks for the update....mid March will still be cool to change them out.

[House Divided]

For those of us waiting on Firestone air bags, today's update is not good news.

Firestone is now telling Michigan Truck Spring that delivery has pushed to late April. When asked how firm that date is I got a very blunt "who knows" type of answer. I received a similar response when I asked what else could be done to convince Firestone to make a run. MTS is clearly frustrated with Firestone too. They have had these bags on backorder now for a full year. Some of his orders date back to last March.

I am not in a big rush, so I can just wait impatiently for the bags to show up. Having said that, I am snooping around a bit to see if I can scare any up elsewhere 

I'll pass along information as it becomes available.

Followed up with MTS this week on our order.  Firestone is still saying late April to get the order to MTS.  At least the ship date is consistent with the last inquiry and has not slipped.

I had no problem finding 8 new airbags for my 1986, my assumption is they were more "industry standard" at the time and are still readily available. Has anybody looked into creating an adapter kit to utilize readily available airbags?

i have said this in an earlier post. when i changed the goodyear bag on my 99, they had redesigned it from the bags that we had troubles with burping. i compared the old and new bag with the same part number and it clearly had changed. at least on the one i had. i think i have one new one still in the shop, i will find it friday and take pictures of it

that was about 2.5 years ago. my two cents worth
