Avy LTZ w/ RC 2" Level, Autoride/Level not working....

Depends on the dealer and your relationship with them to be honest... I just changed mine myself and it hasnt kicked on yet but my ride height has not needed it to either...

hoping changing the height rods for the front sensors will get me up and running. i would just send it back to them tomorrow but if this is the problem i will be out the diagnostic fee and it still won't be functional...

When i start the truck i still hear the same audible click at the rear, but the pump doesn't run. Don't know whether this click is normal; or if the computer is saying the rear needs air and the click is the system trying to air it up but the compressor is shot.

Do you recall if yours clicks every startup?

The compressor kicks on every single time you get in the vehicle and turn it on. I've owned 3 auto ride vehicles and it's done it on all of them flawlessly.

thanks. Found a thread by Marioski where it sounds like he was having a similar issue.

He was going to try extending the sensor bars or adding a lift block to the rear but the thread was never updated....

His compressor still ran though... i tried to PM him but I'm not allowed yet because of my uber Nooby status

Felix; your lift is front and rear? You have the auto level in your SLT and don't have any issues. i do wonder if it is because the front is up 2" and the rear is stock, but i feel it shouldn't matter.

UPDATE:

Popped off the front sensor rods of the sensor and manually set them 1-2" higher to simulate extended rods. Turned the truck on; nothing. Just a click.

Took the truck into the dealer after reconnecting the rods and they had a look at it. Compressor was shot. Covered under my warranty luckily.

Everything seems to be working great now....

Thanks to all with suggestions.

When I owned my 07 Avalanche LTZ my leveling kit was 2.5 front and 1.5 rear. My current '11 Yukon SLT is non-AutoRide. I was referring to my old avalanche that I just traded in for the Yukon. I had 0 issues with the avalanche though. LTZ's sit lower in the rear bc of autoride. Non autoride vehicles sit a little higher. I originally just had 2.5" up front on the avalanche but noticed the rear end was lower then the front end, so that's when I added the 1.5" rear coil spacer. Once I did that my truck was perfectly leveled. And autoride worked flawlessly.

update; compressor fixed my issue. All seems to be working well; however i have noticed that it seems that my truck ride height; particularly in the rear isn't the same from the left side to the right....

Anyone else ever notice this ? I would have to get out the tape measure but it might be as much as 3/4".....
