Need help 07 LTZ suspension

[Donovan]

Took a ride with a full truck 7 people and the truck was all over the place. When I would hit a bump or cross a bridge the steering wheel felt like I had loose ball joints. The rear end would sway back and forth. Not crazy but enough for it to concern me. I looked at everything there is no play in the front end, ball joints are good. As far as I know suspension is all stock. Any ideas?

+1 Never a problem in mine. Even when towing a 5K pound boat.

Same here, but I'm in a Suburban (no auto-ride). Just pulled an 8000 pound tool trailer the other night with no trouble. Straight as an arrow down 95 South at 70-75 mph.

Let me ask you this.... Do you ever hear your auto ride compressor run? If not its dead and you need this:

If it is still running then you need new autoride shocks:

And IF it's still running I would HIGHLY SUGGEST you remove the fuse for it IMMEDIATELY, because it will run it out and go dead very fast if the shocks are leaking.

If you want the upgraded Bilsteins then get these:

Let me know if you have any questions

I can hear the pump running. It seems louder than it did before. I guess I'm just prolonging the inevitable.

Pull the fuze now. It sounds like the dryer has gone bad or the unit is on its last leg, they make rebuilt kits but it's easier just to buy the whole compressor and replace the whole unit. It literally bolts on and plugs in. However, one caveat to that.... Make sure your shocks are holding air and aren't cracked first.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I was searching for information on my Auto-Ride and this came up. I am having similar problems to the original OP and my compressor is running, but suspension is not holding air and my ride is all over the place with slop when loaded down. At this time I am wanting to pull my fuse for disabling the compressor to keep it from going bad. Does anyone know the fuse number so I can band aid this until I can order a new suspension from NorCalSS instead of ordering new shocks to only replace when I lower the Yukon?

Thank you for any help.
