Bryon, welcome aboard. Hopefully you are getting to the bottom of the problems and it will be much clearer sailing (or driving) as soon as you have had a chance to go get caught up with the 'routine maintenance'. I would definitely take a look at those remaining air bags. Losing an air bag is no fun at all. I had Newell check my air bags as a part of my annual maintenance just a couple of months ago.
Bit of bad luck on taking out the tranny filter. I had to maneuver around a truck tire carcass this afternoon in New Mexico at 68 mph that might have caused a similar problem had I had to drive over it.
You likely have junk in your fuel tank that is plugging your fuel filters. I would a) carry some spare filters and a plastic container of diesel to refill them if you have to change them yourself, b) drain the junk out of the bottom of the tanks (there should be a drain petcock on each tank), and c) dump some algaecide in the tank which will likely plug up even more filters until it clears.
