Anyone have an OEM air bag left over from putting in a new system? I have a leaking one and don't want to make the big change yet.
Thanks,

Considering the cost and availability of the original style bags, when one of mine goes I will go with the Sully setup. Seems to be the most cost-effective solution, and I have read no negative reports about it.

Sometimes it seems that you can purchase a whole coach for parts for less than the price of one bag!

Last one I saw mentioned about being on ebay also mentioned that it was currently $300. Whether it actually sold for that, I don't know.

Several in the $ 300-400 range lately and that is way to much for a 40 year or so old bag, would never buy one, better to go to JimK and buy a fresh bag for the same money

I love my Sully Bag set! Easy installation and much less pressure to full
inflation than the originals or any of the four bag sets.

Got one complete with cones I'd call it fair condition. Unknown age the air bung screwed out when it was removed so you will have to use yours.
Holds air great.
$100 plus shipping and it's yours.
I just went full Sully.


76 Eleganza mostly stock, Sully bags, needs one of everything.

There should be a lot of people out there with a functional extra old Oem
bag. I suggest to those that buy my kits to keep one functional Oem bag in
the unlikely event that a spare is needed rather than purchasing a
spare fi9294 since the likelihood of a 9294 failure on my system is remote.

I have several USED airbags that I use for a loaner program. These are loaners ONLY and must be returned in a reasonable amount of time. This program was to get people back on the road in case of a breakdown. I will NOT sell any of these bags as they were donated by other GMCers for use in the program.

Call me if you are broken down somewhere. You pay for the shipping both ways.
