    Swapped air to coil suspension, still error message

    Are you getting error messages or just the compressor kicking on all the time? The best thing as mentioned would be to pull the fuse and I would just take off the compressor and put some heat shrink over the connector to protect it. They should have added resistors to the electronic shock...

    09 Escalade Rear Air Suspension

    when you start up the truck you should hear the compressor do a self-check. If this is not occurring then you probably have a bad compressor. When you were putting your trailer on the truck as the back end went down do you hear the compressor kick on? What happens is the rear gets weight and...

    Front Strut replacement advice / thoughts

    2012 Yukon Denali XL I have replaced the rear suspension with a Dorman Compressor and Arnott rear shocks with the bypass sensor. These have been great with no issues I can tell the front struts are reaching their end of life so I want to replace them as well. I was about to do an order from...

    Towing a camper with a 2014 Yukon Denali

    I have a similar set up on my XL here is what I do and I have no problems The only difference being that I dropped the chain type set up years ago for the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch EQ37121ET. For me, this has proven to be a better set up and better sway control. I only mention it...

    Tahoe Totaled..today heavy vandalism

    Just reading through this thread and seeing the picture of it pre-purchase I can almost guarantee it was waxed with colored wax. Too many swirls for this ALL to be recent. I'm not saying that there might not be some new one but this is typical of a black car not being taken care of well. One...

    20in Chrome Denali rim options?

    Hi all I am looking for some advice/suggestions. 2012 Denali XL I'm putting new rubber on the Denali today and once again I'm just thinking how much I hate these stock chrome wheels. I don't mind the rim as much as the chrome. Take forever to clean and just this last time I am seeing some...

    Air suspension concern

    @Bucky1 the air compressor is only utilized by the Rear Shocks. So if the sound is truly in the front it is not related to the compressor. Doesn't mean there is not a compressor issue and it just sounds that way. To the other replies, you need to check it out from the rear. Good test sequence...

    Yep, 1500 Denali XL I have the stock cooler but may change that out for a bigger one... But with that said it is good to know some of the temps' people hit and are fine...

    Hi all, A little background 2012 Yukon Denali XL about 130 k and some change. Lots of highway driving and towing of my travel trailer and boat When I got the Truck with around 80,000-mile Transmission Fluid looked pretty good, which I was ok with as I would rather it look decent than...

    2008 Yukon XL Denali air ride suspension failing

    Yes, your understanding is correct in regards to passive shocks. I will say that I feel passive with the airbags is the most reliable and useful vs the electric damping. If you remove the airbag feature you may want to look at stiffer springs. I think the best option is Arnott Passive shocks...

    New shocks

    Depends, if this is a costing exercise then Bilstein and some resistors to eliminate the dash warning are a great option. I will note that you stated the ride is not harsh but you have no airbags so the electronic shocks seem to be working for dampening right now. The Bilstein might prove to be...
