2004 Tahoe LT Autoride shocks and compressor

[WhiteWarWagon]

I have a question about the air shocks and compressor for the autoride on an 04 hoe. The mechanic said one of the shocks was bad and so was the compressor, each are around 500 dollars from a parts store. Just wondering if there are alternate ways to check to see if these are actually bad and also if anybody knows where I can find the parts for cheaper. thanks.

You can get them on RockAuto or at https://www.arnottindustries.com/part_CHEVROLET_yid11_pid92.html

I would get the OEM stuff.

If you want to keep the autoride fully functional with the shock dampening, etc...get the oem remanufactured ones through them.

I agree with Keith. I re-did the rear shocks and compressor from Arnott for $550 shipped and installed myself.

I have the ARNOTT remans with their air compressor. Easy stuff just takes little more to than reg shocks. You have to pull the fuse under the hood I don't remember which one exactly it will tell you in the instructions. You also have to get your frame supported where the wheels just barely touch the ground. It's so you can unload the shocks. From there it just like doing standard shocks just have to disconnect the air lines and sensor and pull the bolts. My bolts where ass backwards IMO(thread side was pointing out). I put the bolts where the head was pointing out instead of the damn threads I have 33's and the bolts rubbed my tires if I had to pull into steep driveways. Plus it's easier to install from that way!!!! Your pushing from the outside instead of fighting it around the frame rail and the harness'
