New Autoride Shocks and Compressor Installed

[BigTexHoss]

Hi - I'm new. 2005 Esky, 2WD, 6.0, BBear Tuned, 80k miles. Just put all new OEM Autoride shocks and compressor on. Do I need to take it to the dealer to have them do a reprogram on it - something called the "Bumpstop and ALC trimset recalibration"????? I have no CEL's on and to my knowledge everything is working fine. But didn't know if the computer needed a recalibration to actually make the shocks work properly??? I will say that it still rides too soft for me (dare I say like a Cadillac :0 ). I'm going to put airbag "helpers" in the rear coil springs and hope that settles it down a bit AND gives me a more firm/sporty ride. Really wish Caddy would have made the suspension adjustable from the cockpit!! Pic attached of my Esky.

Welcome. Nice and clean Esky. Never heard of that of message....I also did all of my shocks and compressor and never seen that message. I did my rears and compressor a year before I did my fronts. Not much of help but just thought I'd chime in.....

He didn't say he has a message on the DIC; there is a procedure called the "bumpstop and ALC trimset calibration" that is mentioned in the troubleshooting procedure for the autoride. To the OP: I've replaced all my components with Arnott parts and never had to do it. I believe if all is working well, there is no need.
