Bought a 2006 Denali XL from carmax a couple months ago. Never once heard the compressor turn on even after sticking a trailer on it and having the rear end drop a couple inches.
Finally got it back to carmax and yesterday they just replaced the compressor with a new one. I now hear the compressor when I turn the truck on... problem now is it stays on for 3 minutes and then eventually shuts off. I dont think it takes 3 minutes to fill the air suspension, and my guess is the compressor is shutting itself off to keep from overheating.
am I correct in that the above is abnormal? any thoughts on what to tell the service advisor to do when I take it back? (mind you, i know this IS carmax but all this work is being done under warranty).
thanks,
louie
