New rear shocks will only feature Auto-level, but new Dorman compressor has connections for both Air Suspension features...

(2007 Denali 6.2 AWD) Installing a new Dorman compressor along with rear air shocks that only have one air connection, the leveling function. My question is about the extra air line coming off the compressor that will not be connected? I want to think that both lines will be closed until they are connected. Is that correct? If not, how do I close off the line that will now not be in use?

I replaced my compressor with a Dorman compressor, but I don't recall a second air line. Can you take a couple of photos for what you are talking about and post them here?

One air line should leave the compressor and connect to the existing air line, which eventually tees and feed both rear shocks.

I did the job yesterday, and did not read this until this morning. I'm going to get under there tomorrow to check that the bags are filling, and will get a pic then. One of the lines was black, and the other white. I connected the black line, and the left the white one alone.

BTW, post a photo or 2 of your dog on our Dogs and Puppies thread.

I cannot get a pic of the small air tubes without pulling the wheel and liner...not ready to do that again yet. The compressor I took off did have two tubes, one white and one black. So, I have no idea where the second tube is supposed to go. I will get in there at some point, but working on a lot of things in on the new-to-me SUV.

Are your air bladders inflating?
