The biggest issue isn't the airmatic suspension. The biggest issue is it's a
2006 with an M273, which is known for timing idler gear issues. They may not be
as hard of a job as a M272 balance shaft, but it's something to consider.

Tough call. You’re the only one with enough insight to determine which is the
better choice. That being said, family owned companies can be a tough place to
work depending on the size and how involved/ingrained the “family” is in the
company itself. It sort of sounds like the family is getting

If it's anything like the W210, the driveshaft has to come out. So,
non-trivial.
I chose to hire that out, on ours. Was just under $1000 for both sides.

Yup, the underlying technology does not want 120v AC. It has to be
converted, and that adds complexity, cost, and lower efficiency.

I agree, replace like with like, but in this case UHaul put them in a

All you need are power resistors of near-bulb-total-load rating to burn the
