I have Firestone air bags. They wouldn't hold air for more than about 3 days. This went on for quite some months, and was a real nuisance.
About two months ago, I squirted some green Slime (tire sealer) into the tubes feeding the air bags I squirted it just upstream from where the bags are, about three/four feet, where the tubes join into a single fill tube. I had to inflate them about two more times, after which . . . I've gone two months now with no noticeable drop in air pressure. I keep them around 20 psi for day to day use. And there it has stayed. Before treatment, it would drop to zero in, like I said, about three days.
Just for whatever it's worth.
Interesting. I have the Ride Rites and noticed the same issue. Been under the truck countless times with the soap solution checking lines, fittings, and the like. Maybe I should spray the springs themselves? :h
