What is the Correct Part number for Cab Mount air bags?

[juha_teuvonnen]

Based on my research on the internet, I found a few different part numbers that allegedly fit:
Power Packer: PP997900 - That's what Eastern surplus has on their web site in addition to the FM-345 which is their part number

The one below is supposedly for a different truck, but fits the FMTV:
Goodyear: KA-5066
PowerPacker: PP1495900

Which one should I buy? I have a 1996 M1083A0

I used this replacement. It works well and easy to install.

Thanks for the advice. I am aware of this option, however I was told that if I were to ever try larger tires, they are going to rub against it. While I have no immediate plans to install larger tires, I would like to keep that option available.

I used a pair of the KA-5066, they worked fine.

do those have a shock inside or did you resleeve around OEM shock?

They have a shock inside.

Update: Received P/N PP997900 from Ohio Hydraulic. It's a Goodyear air bag, but it does not come with the shock. So, it's not a complete kit, just the air bag. Powerpacker does not sell the shocks separate, only sells them as a part of a complete unit. If air bag is what's bad in yours, this part should take care of it. If the shock is what's bad, this is not the part you want.

Does KA-5066 include a shock absorber, or is it just the air spring?

It includes the shock.

Do you know if anybody has them in stock?

I’ve been looking for them for months and haven’t found any in stock anywhere.
If I remember correctly, someone had mentioned a few months back that there was someone on Facebook who was selling them, but I just don’t do social media. Not sure if that is still viable, but if you do social media you could check.
