Not Airmatic, not sport if this is what you're asking.

This site automatically hotlinked the VIN for decoding.
Under "drivetrain" it is showing coil springs.
would you have airmatic, you would find a switch next to gear shifter.

When you hear SBC pump this is not the best sign.
I have to be in very quiet garage to hear the noise on my car and per my record the pump is 7 years old.
Would be good idea to have SBC count read on SD

The whole point of depress count is to replace the pump before it wear out.
Suppose it is fixed number, but different software and different experience are not solid on it.
Than you can buy scanner on ebay that will reset the count without doing the service.. think about it.

Could you break it down for me a little? Everything I have read this far days you have to take to MB and have it service and it's pricey... First time hearing about reset? Thanks for info tho

Good indy should be able to replace the pump and enter it into car computer, but average indy don't even want to touch those brakes, meaning lot of owners have stealers as only option.
Prices drop down from the time when new pump would be quoted in $3k range.
Honest people should not hear about illegal reset, so that is good sign.
