Having a vehicle equipped with air ride is great until problems happen. If you have an issue with air suspension on your vehicle, it can make it undrivable. We had several problems on our ’00 Chevy S10 pop up since our previous videos and it was a total bummer to have it sit in our garage while it was busted.
Follow along as we show you how to diagnose these problems and most importantly, how to fix them.

Found this video really informative thank you 🙏

@edmuraski3771 Год назад

I have gages that show front and back suspension. I am able to level the truck but the gages for the front now both show the position at the maximum heights which they are not at. Is that gage malfunctioning? How do I get it to register the correct height?

@randydahl3646 Год назад

Was wondering if you could answer a question for me, when I air up my front or rear bags I get a burst of air out of the dump valve is that normal? If not what would be the issue? Thank you

@zososldier Год назад

I never had leak issues. My biggest problem was always compressor seals going bad and valves freezing in the winter. Switched to an engine driven compressor and added air brake anti freeze in the winter.

Have you ever had an uneven lifting?

@cerwin21 8 месяцев назад

Welp. Guessing my issue is the thread lock used I will get some Loctite 565. Cant find the leak in my system. Firestone 5323 bags on a Kelderman setup on Excursion. Air completely leaks down over 3 days. No bubbles seen. Was thinking it might be miss matched threads on fittings.

@jr.ramirez5798 Год назад

Any bump steer

@brentmcmahon8188 9 месяцев назад

You have to use a bump stop in your air bags. I’ve haulded cars for GM all my life and that’s what the did to all our tractors and trailers o you would not get stuck out in the middle of no we’re !

@dentman62 7 месяцев назад

😂😂😂 bro said bump stops 😂😂😂😂 fuc that's funny

@theonlytkt3567 Год назад

i have a question nobody has asked yet and pretty important. i had bought a car that had airbag suspension and a sub installed. i was bumpin sounds and then all of a sudden both the compressor and sub kicked off. i wasn't able to get more air in the suspension than was already there, so my car is stuck sitting right now. i know it has to be an electrical problem, but i have no idea how to fix it. please respond asap!

Have you been responded to? In the 4 months this app says lol. Have a counter question for your comment.

@tdwz1652 2 года назад

my truck was a never ending routine of chasing leaks lol

@lewinbn 2 года назад

Did going from half in to 3/8 slow your bags?

@jr.ramirez5798 Год назад

I’m sure it will prolly will give u better control to go up and down not so fast

@zososldier Год назад

It does. I had 1/2 on my s10 and it would almost jump off the ground. 3/8 is still fairly quick just not that fast.

@shauncarter82 Год назад

I have had my lexus bagged and got stranded on day two. very sad time.

Valve manifolds are a downgrade. I was genuinely upset you wasted so much money and removed the brass valves. That manifold is going to rust too. I would never recommend any valve manifold.
