How long have your OEM air ride shocks lasted?

[KATfishing]

'08 Yukon Denali, 130K, still on original air ride shocks and seem to be working fine. I'm beginning to think I'm on borrowed time, but maybe I'm just noticing the posts where at 100K replacement was needed and those don't represent the majority. How long have your air ride shocks lasted?

I recently changed mine out at 102k on my 08 Tahoe. Both bladders were leaking although I didn’t notice them leaking until I lowered the vehicle. Lowering it must have made it leak worse somehow. Went with suncore remans and so far so good.

I have 140k on my Z55 suspension, the rear air bladders are just showing some fraying and the front suspension is maxed out. The struts aren't leaking, but they are on the max setting because I can't push down on the front suspension.

about 115k before I got solenoid errors on them, 09 YD. Went Arnott for the replacements Fronts are wet on the top, gonna get Arnotts soon up front too.

I noticed back in September when I was going through a move and started using a heavy 10' dual axle dump trailer that I think I finally cooked my rear shocks and system. The compressor is running all of the time now and the Yukon feels extremely sloppy now. I don't have error messages yet, but I'm sure they are on their way soon. I am at 121k miles and on original shocks and bags.

I recently replaced the rear's at almost 100k they had a slow leak, I did the fronts a few months ago there weren't bad but one had slipped off the bottom rubber bushing.

Pull the fuse for your compressor to save it until you fix the leak.

Do you happen to know which fuse it is? I haven't found it in my previous searches.

 

[kbuskill]

It is marked ALC (auto level compressor) in the upper right corner of the underhood fuse box.

Thanks for sharing on this thread. Maybe a few more will still post. Mine are still working at 130K, but you guys are confirming my suspicions... I better start saving up!
