While looking up another problem I came across this in the montana forum. I wish I found it before I had replaced mine. I spent more and had to replace the air lines. Waste of time and money.
"I just got the Monroe Max-Air 824 shocks put on last night. They bolt right up and have the same air connection nipple as the stock GM shocks. The pair cost me about $90 shipped from RockAuto.com. I had to cut the bottom bolts off because they were seized to the shock bushing, but the top bolts came off easy. The whole job took about an hour in the driveway.
The dealer told me that they have looked and never been able to find any shock other than the GM ($172.00 per shock) that will work. I did a search on the internet and verified with Monroes tech support that they would work. Saved me lots of money. These are a good replacement for anyone with the Self leveling suspension."
