    Man this saved me, so much time. I kept hear the compressor running long after parked.
  • Hi! I have a tiny leak on my 2 valve where you charge the nitrogen what is the best solution to fix it or can I just use tapelon to fix it? And one more thing I need to change my front air suspension can I just let the compressor fill up the air or do I really need to use nitrogen? Thank you so much

    Just worked on ,my first one today, with the system in exit mode it deflates the bags halfway, this was the only way to find a leak in one of the rear bags.

    What are your thoughts on using aftermarket air suspension? I have a 2013 Dodge ram 1500 Limited I see on A1 auto they have a replacement for front and rear quite a significant price savings versus dealer cost.
  • @Alexxela19202
    Best thing that worked for me it’s taking them completely out they’re trash
  • Hey brother I have a 2017 ram it keeps suddenly failing along with the tcs and tow /haul, trailer brake any idea what it could be ive checked fuses and what not where are you located it seems the mechanics in my area seem to not know anything about the air suspension
  • My manifold cracked right where you said it would with the aluminum to plastic. To replace the manifold do I jsit swap it and let the pump run to refill with air or do I need to somehow buy nitrogen? Don’t want to take it apart and grenade my entire system.
  • @aralph30
    Mine has the leak coming from the top of the front bag like you said. Do I need to replace that entire bag assembly. Or just the fitting ?
  • @MrBlackbutang
    Does front struts lower mounts same as non air ride. I was thinking could swap to coil overs? Friends truck? Thanks
  • How do you disconnect the height level sensor electrical quick connect, I want to check the connections, but I see side tabs that look like they toggle in and out, but the connector won't slide off. I don't have a leak everything works, the it will just go flat, and it has no idea where it's at, then it will all start working again fine for days or weeks.
  • I have a question about my 2015 ram 1500 air suspension, i only have one side, back end on drivers side that will sagg evey now and then, none of the others do that, would that be because the air suspension control valve solenoid is going bad, i can reset the air suspension and it will start working again for a short time then do it again.

    Hey Tech28, My left rear bag looses air when setting overnight only in regular height mode, if I put it in off road 1 or 2 it stays up. Would you have any suggestions on where to start looking?
  • @kilobear1979
    I have a 14 ram, went to start battery clicked and dash said service air suspension. Got new battery started fine, no more air suspension message and no codes with obd scanner, raises,lowers fine but when ur driving feels a lil rough like it’s not working and when jump on bumper back bumper not trying to adjust for load. Any suggestions? Thx

    My problem is intermittent. Summer or winter , on the highway in aero mode it will drop to the frame and ride like like there's no suspension, and won't lift once slowed down. Eventually it will lift again around the city. As long as it doesn't go into aero it's fine.
  • Do you know where to get a Service/Shop Manual for the Air Suspension System for a 2015 Ram 1500 Sport?
