[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 16410518, member: 79484"] Air ride on panthers is not that complicated to keep going and honestly they're not nearly as unreliable as the ABC suspensions on Mercs. Usually you can only have one of three things fail on the panther rear air ride. The compressor dies due to rain water collecting in the wheel liner and rusting out the pump, the rear ride height sensor breaks (due to rust 99% of the time) or the least likely is a bag / solenoid problem. All the parts are still available from Ford (for not that much money, I put two OE bags in my 03 Marauder) or two aftermarket companies (Arnott and Suncore) and the parts are not expensive. I always laugh at people who do poverty coil conversions and put soft sprung saggy rear springs in so they dont have to drop 130 dollars on a brand new suncore compressor, meanwhile they drive around with the "air ride" light glowing in the dash. But I get your point, by the time these cars hit 3, 4, 5 owners and so on, owner # 5 who bought this car with 120k miles for 10 grand isn't going to want to drop 2 grand on 4 replacement struts. Most people who buy used cars that were expensive new, forget just because you paid "10 grand" for the car, it's not a 10 grand car when it comes to maintenance costs. [/QUOTE]
