I just installed a Kelderman www.kelderman.com Air Suspension on the rear of our 2008 6331 Endura. Website has all the info.

Very well engineered, top quality fabrication & parts and straight forward installation instructions. The ride improvement is almost unbelievable! The install instructions & pictures were done on a Super Nova so that really helped. Here is a video showing the suspension at work that sold me. Good company to work with and great price. Wish I had done this years ago! The hardest part was moving the wire and cables that would have rubbed on the new components. If anyone is interested in more info, please send a message.

The air ride system is still on my 2008 Supernova and still works great. It was still worth the work and cost and it's part of the deal. Turning 20k when it comes out in the spring. Almost always tows #8000 with little problems. Got to do another Brake unit next spring, but that's another story. HJ

It is a Meritor International electronic brake control unit. It was done ( control unit) under warranty In 2012. HCU control unit was renewed. Now it appears they only sell the entire brake control unit complete. I think the local International dealer ( nice group) want to verify the issue from my local mechanic truck guy. My system doesn't communicate properly from the HCU to the dash until warmed up. Works fine, pressures are OK, but beep the dash continuously . Then quits after 15 min, but that was getting worse last fall . Will go to the dealer next month and I'll report the results. The service manager owes me a favor for helping him with his Jetta and a dash crash so I hope I get the real dirt about these brake controllers. Need to have the Supernova in top shape this year as I'll be racing regionally more. If spring ever gets here. LOOL John

I enjoyed reading all the posts on the ride issues. I have a 2008 Endura with the international 4200 chassis and my wife was not pleased with the ride on our first trip. Even the microwave door flew open and the glass dish fell out. We are currently getting an air ride installed and hopefully this will calm down the harsh ride. We also experienced a bounce on certain roads with expansion joints on our first trip. I have been researching tires and super single conversions.

The Kelderman unit that I installed took care of all the ride issues
