This won't really leave you stranded, but if you have SLS and it goes, riding on the bump stops suck. Someone said they used fix-a-flat in the sls airbags and it worked great. Might have to drop a can of that in my toolbox.

I already carry oil and dexcool everywhere I go.

Self Leveling Suspension. These are airbags used in place of springs in the suspension. The airbags are inflated/deflated to adjust the ride height. If one of the airbags breaks or has a leak, it's like loosing a spring - - no more dampening on that wheel.

Hollaaaaa..... Okay so I think if you are looking for a street sweeper this may be the wrong vehicle for you. The ride quality would be absoult ****e if you lost a bag. So check if you have bags or springs.

Fuel pump.

When our went out it was very difficult to drive anywhere once the engine heated up to normal. Very little gas was getting into the fuel lines and was there turned into vapor. Misfires galore. Hell, at one point it got so bad that the Check Engine light actually flashed.
